Snooker

I see Michaela Tabb has settled her dispute with snookers ruling body

Well done to John Higgins on another ranking tournament win, with Ronnie pulling out of shows, could another World Title be his yet?

Neil Robertson beat Mark Allen 10-5 to win the Champion of Champions tournament.

Neil Robertson looked to be somewhere near his top form again in the Champion of Champions event.
His all round game seems in good order heading towards the UK Championship.

Disappointed that Ronnie has decided not to defend his UK Championship

^ I agree it's disappointing but he is acting on medical advice, his health has to come before anything else.

Ding KO'd in a 2nd round upset.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

seems Ronnie is healthy enough to work for Eurosport during the tournament

Several players complaining about the quality of the tables.

But not Peter Ebdon

Thepchaiya Un-Nooh of Thailand will be having nightmares after a 6-2 defeat to Neil Robertson tonight at the UK Championship.
Not because of the result.
He was on course to achieve a maximum 147 break.
15 reds and blacks, yellow, green, brown, blue, pink but then DISASTER .
He missed the final black and lost out on £44,000 as a result.
He won't even get the high break prize as Robertson holds the high break with 145.
When it rains it pours.
The poor bloke looked utterly devastated.

Elsewhere Judd Trump has been beaten by Liang Wenbo.
Trump led 4-1 but lost 5 frames in a row to lose 6-4.
