@CB4Luke @nr147 I think you should read my tweet again and take the "all that comes with it" bit on board. These horses are loved and cared for as great as any animals on earth. All sort of animals around the world are bred for slaughter and danger of going extinct etc, total opposite

@fouldsy147 💯 15

@pistol147 @SHendry775 Yeah i know he did say what they guaranteed,, he mentioned no 20 in world, which to get there you need to have made 200k. My point is its purely hypothetical, if you only make that 15k you are guaranteed you not gonna be 20 in world and you will be off the tour and deserve to be

Here you go willo,,, been on here for 4 years!!! Enjoy 😂 @markwil147

[Declan Lavery @declanlavery]

@pistol147 @SHendry775 Matt says no 20 in world only guaranteed 15k,,, however as the no 20 ranked player you have made 200k+ to get there, and you will make a further 200k+ again in 2 years to stay there so that is nonsense

@pistol147 @WeAreWST Good stuff @pistol147 , I'm sure this was a great experience for the fans. I wonder if all the top pros gonna take part in this at some stage?? 🤔🤣

[Declan Lavery @declanlavery]

@Malmo_W @pistol147 @Magician147 @Malmo_W this already happens in the majority of the flat 128 draws. Imo keep the home nations flat and a small tier in the big events, UK champs and China big ones when they return. Worlds fine.

[Declan Lavery @declanlavery]

@mark_1367 @pistol147 Yes @mark_1367 that's the way it always been, fair comment and no change then. A lot of noise for it to be changed tho!! 😂

[Declan Lavery @declanlavery]

@pistol147 @AlanMac1990 I thought this also,,, however something has to be done to help people taking their chance on tour. Its like a welfare state and benefits,, someone working 30 hours a week could come out with same money on someone that claims benefits. Not sure what alternative is?

[Declan Lavery @declanlavery]

@markwil147 Funny this actually happened to you @markwil147!!! 😂, no complaints I'm sure?

[Declan Lavery @declanlavery]

@markwil147 God love yous PROFESSIONALS having to face an amateur to qualify for a place in the next round, imagine one qualified and you faced them,,, awful truly awful🤷‍♂️

[Declan Lavery @declanlavery]

@Eurosport_UK Please tell dom that he's wrong l, judd still uses the triangle chalk, any kicks he gets are his own fault imo. Don't see them anymore in matches where the triangle not used.

[Declan Lavery @declanlavery]

@bbc5live @BBCSounds This is total nonsense, the young lad dropped off the tour last year and didn't qualify back on, he is still trying to make a living himself. To say he's too good and under no pressure is so far off the mark

[BBC Radio 5 Live @bbc5live]

“There’s actually no pressure, they’re basically on a free hit at a pro”

Neil Robertson has backed Shaun Murphy following his calls for amateur snooker players to be banned from professional tournaments.

Listen @BBCSounds 📲

[Declan Lavery @declanlavery]

@markwil147 @mark_ozz @senornunes @TheSportsman You know it makes sense willo😂,, should be a gift really playing an amateur first round. The argument that they under no pressure and on a free one as they not playing for their livelyhood is wrong imo. Every one of those top-up players are playing snooker for a living also

[Declan Lavery @declanlavery]

@markwil147 @mark_ozz @senornunes @TheSportsman So go down the list of amateurs that qualified below them?? As there are only 122 pros this season the ones getting the top ups could easily of been given cards,,, they are the ones hard done by, not the players at top of rankings having to play them. 🤔

[Declan Lavery @declanlavery]

@Magician147 How did this come about?? Surely you werent that good that a kid played pros a series of exhibitions, that not supposed to happen other way around?? 😂

[Declan Lavery @declanlavery]

@snookerbacker He didn't
