You say that, but Zhao Xintong got banned as well and they couldn’t wait to bring him back. Now he’s the Great White Hope of snooker. He hasn’t got enough balls for everyone’s mouth who wants to gargle them. And I always liked Yan more anyway.

>>154265202
I never knew Gaz from Supergrass was a snooker player.

>>154265288
Yan supposedly actually rigged matches, Zhao only had knowledge of the rigging happening but didn't rig himself iirc.

I hope Antoni Kowalski has learnt a very valuable lesson about actually potting balls. He potted the yellow and look what’s happened. It cost him about 20 points.

Steven Hallworth is the perfect type of commentator to get (a low-ranking current professional player), but it’s true that you can’t just pick any random player like that and expect them to be good. And they need to be extremely careful not to just wind up with Shaun Murphy.

Was about to post somewhere about how Zhao was about to go down in frame count to an unseeded player, then he storms ahead 3 straight frames. bastards

Better not risk it. Here's a bump just in case.

German pop star Nena, after the breakup of the band Nena, spent the entire 1990s releasing solo albums that absolutely nobody liked or bought, and I've been checking out some of her obscure songs. For this album, she'd been ditched by her record label, so she went and found a small label that nobody had heard of, and used them to release 1994's "Und Alles Dreht Sich". The new record label went out of business shortly after releasing this album.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ke_YDORKEiw

In 2002, of course, Nena re-released a bunch of her old hits, in new versions with various other stars, and became incredibly famous again. The moral of the story is, never give up. A lot of snooker players want to give up too, but I hope they don't.

Hako is said to have been "on the verge of homelessness" at one point, washing dishes in a restaurant to make a living. But then she too became incredibly famous again.
