Play was suspended at the World Championship after a protester vandalised table one and a second person tried to attach themselves to table two.

Robert Milkins and Joe Perry were playing their first-round match at the time of the incident.

A man climbed on to their table and covered it in an orange powder.

Mark Allen and China's Fan Zhengyi were also in action and escorted from the arena.

Both matches are expected to resume later on Monday evening.

Yeah, wondered what was going on for a minute. The commentators were going off on one before you could see anything on the screen. Just wait while they get in front of one of them Liberal judges for a severe telling off.

They ought to be made to pay for the damage.  What's snooker got to do with stop the oil 🤔

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Government want to bring in legislation to ban protesting. these are carefully planned disruptions on popular events to soften the public up for when they do it.

They've clearly also not realised that you have to shoot 10 elephants to get the ivory to make the snooker balls for each table.

Are you saying the Government are behind these protests  ? 

[Baron99 811]

To be honest, the woman who was going to glue herself to the table.  I'd have let her.

 

She could have doubled as a rest & who's going to be bothered, other than her, when everyone went home & the Crucible turned the lights out for the night?

Not saying anything but look at the police reaction to the Just Stop Oil "protesters" blocking roads, handled with kid gloves and actually protected when people try to remove them, get a dozen mates to block a road this weekend and see how long you last.
