Your attention seeking nonsense will be ignored.

Clearly not.

Nobody. I can't see any spectators at all!


Perhaps they saw your eariler comment and decided to give this match a miss. Perhaps the other group is more interesting today, although it's easily the weakest of all the groups.

Explain it again.

I don't know if you were following snooker in 2013, Lyu's first season. But he was put up in a house with some players from Thailand, and something terrible happened... He was just 15. It nearly cost him his life, and probably ruined his chances of becoming a top player. So I'll support him, just because of the appalling way he was treated.

There was a fire, evidently the Thai mafia. Anyway, Lyu refuses to talk about it so I guess that's why most people aren't aware. It cost him 3 years and it's only thanks to heroic efforts by Pang Weiguo and Victoria Shi that he's back playing. Everyone else washed their hands.

Why did it cost him three years, because of the trauma you mean?

If it was started by the Thai mafia it’s no surprise he refuses to talk about it; probably fears retaliation if he does.

We're risking his life just talking about it.

I’ve watched him a couple of times but back then he was Brandon Constable.

not that surprising. he mostly lost in the first round/qualifying in his first year on tour.

Both players have plenty of potential, but seem to be struggling on the big stage.

If you can call The Championship League the big stage.

The commentators are saying that the table has been playing poorly all tournament, isnthis true?
