Snooker World Championships

If there is one thing I've noticed and feel the sport is lacking (or missing for want of a better word), is the lack of black players in the sport and wondered if there should there be more diversity and encouragement from the established players getting more black and other ethnic minorities players into the professional ranks.

I could be wrong, but I think the Chinese more than cover any ethnicity targets that Lord Barry might set I'm not sure black players face any particular barriers to entry. Besides commentators' struggling to pronounce names...

Ken Doherty can't pronounce anyone's name properly. Or 90% of words in the English language for that matter.

Just his payback for decades of English gobshites wrongly pronouncing Doherty as Dockerty where's the "K" in "Doherty" I ask you, where's the fucking "K"

This deciding frame between McGill and Wilson is completely mental

He probably knows Selby is gonna beat him with a session to spare in the final

The most bizarre frame of snooker I have ever witnessed in 35 years watching the game.
And has there ever been more points scored in one frame, 103 points to 83
