Radio Snooker with Nick Metcalfe retweeted
One of our Sunday Night Specials on @TalkingSnooker, as we review the Northern Ireland Open and glory in Belfast for Kyren Wilson.
We also reflect on Mark Allen, following his emotional TNT Sports interview and subsequent statements on social media.

The 2026 Northern Ireland Open final is a repeat of the 2024 world final - Kyren Wilson v Jak Jones.
Who do you think will win it?

There’s plenty to catch up with on @RadioSnooker, including my conversation with the WPBSA chairman Jason Ferguson.
Plus Jordan Brown tells me it would be ‘mad to overlook’ Belfast as a potential World Championship venue.
Enjoying catching up with some episodes of @RadioSnooker in between sessions. Nice bite size episodes. Currently listening to the interview with @jasonferguson5

Available soon.
We will never stop missing the wonderful JV.
Many thanks to the very fine @totalsnookered for writing up this story, from what Mark Williams told me here on @RadioSnooker.
You may well have a view on what Williams had to say too. Should qualifying be scrapped? Tweet me here or email [email protected]

The Waterfront Hall is one of snooker’s most distinct venues.
I took this picture from the top.

I've just asked the WPBSA chairman Jason Ferguson whether an announcement about the 2029 World Championship might be imminent, and whether it might come to Belfast.
Here is what he told me on @RadioSnooker:

If you’re of my age or similar, it will always be affecting being in Belfast.

‘I was in tears when I read Mark's statement. I think he put it beautifully. We’re grown men, but if Mark’s suffering, anybody can suffer.'
Many thanks to @philhaigh_ for writing up this story from my @RadioSnooker conversation with Jordan Brown.

Jordan Brown is on Radio Snooker with Nick Metcalfe tonight and tells me he was in tears reading Mark Allen's statement on social media today.
Brown also says it would be 'mad to overlook' Belfast as the venue for the 2029 World Championship.

Mark Williams tells me he doesn't believe there should be qualifiers in snooker, and all players should be at the main venue.
Williams: 'If that means cutting the tour down to 96 players, I think they should do it.'

If I can produce a service that keeps the Brians, Campbell and McGovern, happy - and also keeps Mark Williams (not that one or the other one) in clover, I feel like my efforts are all worth it.

A word from me on TNT Sports presenter Rachel Casey.
Never mind her skills as a television presenter - which are top level of course - that was pure humanity from Rachel.
Her warmth, decency and kindness were exactly what was needed. Thank God she was on duty.
Mark Allen says his snooker career may be over in an emotional TNT Sports interview.

Mark Allen suggests his snooker career may be over.
One of those days when my heart and my reporting meet a bit akwardly.
More than anything, it was sad to see a fellow man brought low like that.
It can happen to any of us. Gutted. Wish Mark better.
Thanks for this Brian, much appreciated.
What are the thoughts of my other dear listeners?
Bit overkill to come on every day, or welcome updates?
@RadioSnooker Thanks for that day one round up. There’s so much going on in the early stages of the Home series tournaments that it’s really useful to get a run down of what’s been happening.
Radio Snooker with Nick Metcalfe retweeted
It's great to see Mark Allen back at the table. Tremendous player, big character. I think he's been much missed in recent months.
