I wonder if the snooker audience know the shots or do they just applaud going by the commentary.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
Judd has scummed this frame.
I'd probably throw the cue at him and walk out.

Bit of both. Sometimes the commentary in the ear piece encourages the reaction, sometimes it’s just an obviously great shot and gets the applause straight away but I’ve been to matches where there’s a couple of particularly enthusiastic audience members who are quick to applaud when a more subtle shot is played and more often than not the rest of the audience will join in.
I really like Hendry but to say the 147 was on after two shots must be something for the crowd I reckon.
Admittedly the reds were all in good positions but if a commentator is going to say that everytime a similar situation is presented we are going to get disappointment from the fans.
Hendry has repeatedly stated that the 147 is the hardest thing to do in sport which I think is a ridiculous statement but he is contradicting himself on these occasions.
Agree with your sentiments but I think 147 is way harder than a 9 darter or a hole in 1 for example.
I’ve played snooker since I was 13/14 I guess. If you game me 20 years throwing darts 8 hours a day I reckon I would get at least a couple of 9s in that time. I’m confident I wouldn’t get a single 147 in that time.
Not for a professional snooker player though as they make hundreds of those in practice and plenty of good amateurs will do them doing line-ups.
I would say running 100m in under 9.85s would be a bit harder to do
Do you make centuries?
Nah. I’ve had one break of 86 doing the line up (but anyone who plays regularly will confirm, you don’t count the line up). In matches I’m regularly between 30 and 55 but the step up to centuries is massive.
Just watched Wilson interview.
Bit of a boring bloke but it takes all sorts I suppose.
Ronnie speaks highly of him.

Murphy playing some great stuff and leading 6 - 2
Ominous signs for Kyren. He’s not played that badly, but Murphy just looks so focused. Feel Kyren has to win the first frame of the final session or this could be over quickly.
Not a big fan of Murphy but he’s been exceptional this Masters.
It's looking good for Murphy atm
I’m not a fan either, but couldn’t really tell you why. He’s been playing incredible snooker this week.
Getting interesting now.
I find him very confusing
That’s one way to put it….
.
Yeah but how does he fold towels?
I don’t get the reference
Cracking final. Shame Kyren couldn’t make it 8-8, that’d have been incredible for the neutral, but the better player won on the night.
Deserved, Murphy played great snooker all week.
Great standard in the final, Murphy was ridiculous all week.
World Champs looking lively. Loads with genuine chances outside of the usual Trump/ROS/Selby odds.

Good to see Murphy win and entertaining in the process.
