@InTheBalls147 Invariably the comments about reducing the format are from players who have struggled with the longer format - increase the format in the UK Championship & restore its prestige ? The quantity of tournaments has overridden quality & the structure of the calendar needs refining .

@Pavlo__Escobar Whilst I think the team collectively is doing a very good job ( depth increasing - a mixture of personalities & varying broadcasting experience ) - it feels like the headline star is missing . 😢

@Stuart__Bingham It can't be easy but I thought it was well handled ! 👍🏻

@TheGreenBaize @Nick_Metcalfe Thank you ! 👍🏻

@Snooker_Chat Thank you for sharing this ! 👍🏻

[Robert James Parkin @robjparkin]

@artsngrafts Thinking of you . Good luck & hoping Snowy returns safe & sound .

@DaveEDanna The most important opinion is yours & " what you feel " is the only fact that matters ! You continue to be an inspiration . Best wishes to you & your family .

[Robert James Parkin @robjparkin]

@Exsnookerpro I think it's important to pace yourself & not peak too soon - a very high standard set so far but a very long way to go . 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Robert James Parkin @robjparkin]

@DaveEDanna A very dignified response but you're an awesome person ! Your journey - individually & collectively has been beautiful to observe - transforming your lives & now parenthood looms ! Inspiring . Best wishes to you both ( & cats ) & keep being you. 👍🏻

[Robert James Parkin @robjparkin]

@justsalrambling Yes ! I think it suits your personality . 👍🏻

[Robert James Parkin @robjparkin]

@CandiceB21 Whilst excellent players , the brutal truth is not quite good enough ! The nature of sport .

[Robert James Parkin @robjparkin]

@street_trashed You are doing fabulously well in trying circumstances! Shame & guilt is understandable - the "best" apology is your ongoing recovery - you & your family should be very proud. Take care, look after yourself & keep doing what you have been! 👍🏻

[Robert James Parkin @robjparkin]

@Freebird3180 Congratulations! Active addiction is undoubtedly hard for family to witness, but your ongoing recovery will make them so proud. It can be hard to reconcile the past - but we can move forward & live a different life. Awesome work - take care. 👍🏻

@Struggl_bus Therapists can be truly amazing , authentic & impactful people - often seeing what we fail to & driven to help us recover ; in spite of our own lack of self- belief . They think we are worth it ! 🤍

@Struggl_bus I miss the big puppy when I don't see a picture for a couple of days ! 🐶

[Robert James Parkin @robjparkin]

@A1_CELTIC Great thread ! ⚽

[Robert James Parkin @robjparkin]

@_withoutalcohol Awesome ! Love it ! 👏🏻

[Robert James Parkin @robjparkin]

@Struggl_bus Hey - unfortunately , lapses in concentration can & do happen ( human nature ) . It is very evident how much you love & care for Kash & Dozer ! Please try & be kind & gentle in how you treat yourself . 🤍

[Robert James Parkin @robjparkin]

@Nick_Metcalfe I love the way the city embraces the tournament & you see a hard core group of the same snooker obsessives every year ! The championship is so special to be honest I couldn't imagine the tournament held elsewhere ( it's great there is a varied tour in many locations ) .
