This is the Crucible. The show will go on.

this is the most attention snooker has got in years tbf😭

The Belgian ref was the hero of the night otherwise there be no snookerv

The tournament director and indeed WST is going to have to have some serious discussions here. A person with a big bag of powder was not only able to get into the auditorium but was able to get onto the stage. That powder could have been anything.

Christ lads this wasn't Pearl Harbour.

Snooker players should be proud to have been part of this protest. I hope they speak up and support #JustStopOil That goes for you too, snooker Twitter person.

Aww. He could have called ‘orange’ after potting the red.

Sadly, the delay in play meant one of the players was fatigued, leading to a miscue, and the player had to be shot in the head.

Finally a protest against this barbaric sport. The abuse and bulling of snookerballs have gone on long enough. The endless fight to be the dominant colour on the table. Wait oil? What?

Absolute clowns ruining people's events they paid to go see. Not the way to win anyone to your side of a cause....and anyway, who DOESN'T think we need to end our reliance on oil? They are total idiots

Well done, getting things going on table 2, no chance for table 1 really.
