## Resource

David Gilbert told Phil Haigh and I on the Talking Snooker podcast in 2024 that he thought snooker was boring. Following his defeat to Ding Junhui at the World Championship, I asked Gilbert whether he still thought that. As you can imagine, David had plenty to say. And if you'd like to respond to any of it, please do tweet me @RadioSnooker or email radiosnooker@mail.com
