Ronnie O'Sullivan to Belgian ref: "Tell me, tell me, what did you see? You tell me what you saw. You saw NOTHING. Go look at the camera. You saw nothing. DON'T START".
Ref: "I had to say something Judd. I HAD to."
Judd: "Couldn't you have said it after the game?"
Ref: "I had to"

Body language experts would have a field day analysing this. Ronnie O’Sullivan refusing to engage in any way shape or form with WST chairman Steve Dawson. Battles ahead between those two maybe.

When I was 11 years old I was trying on school uniforms before secondary school and sneaking into cinemas showing 'AA' films. When Anna Hursey was 11 years old she was making a highly credible effort in the table tennis at the Commonwealth Games. She should be proud

Mark Selby's scoring in frame 22 for the fifteen reds: 1, foul 4, foul 4, 1, foul 4, 1, 1, 1, foul 4, foul 4, foul 4, 1, foul 4, 1.
So he got to 35 points with 7 breaks (if that's the right word) of 1, and 28 points of fouls.

SCENES! Ronnie O'Sullivan & Ali Carter bang shoulders into each other, then words are exchanged. Ronnie "Thought I'd give you one back" Ali "Thank you" Ronnie "S'alright!" Paul Collier tries to restore order. Ronnie "Yeah I'm cool. Cool as a cucumber"

later, this isn't your average 1942 "Lets beat the Germans with cups of tea and buttered scones" type of movie, the dark moments in this are very dark indeed, the bright moments and little victories glorious. Highly recommended

William Grange's cousin Kathleen (Billy The Cat and Katie Cat), who appeared from 1967 to 1974 in The Beano.
Mind you, if I was trying to stay in disguise, I probably wouldn't write a big letter K on myself.
Almanac alert. Mark Williams steals the cue ball and puts it in his pocket for a joke. But BelgianRef gives him a seven point penalty. So in two failed shots (foul 4, foul 6, he’s 0-17 down!)

Luke Littler needed 58 with two darts left, tried single 18 to leave tops for a clear lead of 5-2 in sets. But he accidentally hit 54 to leave double 2. Bamboozled, he missed it. Turning point…

The last time Germany failed to get out of the group stage was 1938. They took it quite badly and invaded Poland. Anyway the brilliant Leroy Sane of Manchester City is sat at home - how's that plan working out then?

The snooker debate - you are 30 in front having potted a red, colours left. You can a) pot the black to leave your opponent needing 3 snookers. Or b) roll up behind the black. Aaron Hill chose b, but Lu Ning escapes, then later got the snooker, cleared up, and won the match

Don't worry Rachel, it's not a maths question, just a trick question. Boy (5) is wearing two trainers (10) and carrying two cones (4), and with the multiplication sum taking priority, it's 5 + (19 x 2) = 43

Very rarely I complain about a commentator, and sport is blessed with many fine ones, but enough.
