Snooker Chat 🔴⚫🔴

Ronnie O'Sullivan's poor form continued as he suffered an early exit in the Champion of Champions.

The 50-year-old was whitewashed 4-0 by Shaun Murphy.

O'Sullivan has been defeated early in his last three tournaments and only passed the Last 16 stage once this season. #snooker

David Gilbert is certainly not a fan of the players' shirts at the Champion of Champions.

The two-times Worlds semi-finalist said in a video post: "I hate to criticise but how bad are these Champion of Champions shirts?

"They are not designed for snooker players." #snooker

ITV snooker's return raised eyebrows on day one of the Champion of Champions.

Stephen Hendry and Ken Doherty were seen 'standing' on stat graphics and replays.

There was also chat among snooker fans on X that the main arena looked 'too green'. #snooker

This week's Champion of Champions sees the return of snooker on ITV.
