The biggest shock in the tournaments history, as amateur John Astley knocks out Neil Robertson

Is there going to be another rant about amateur's playing in pro tournaments?

I see news has surfaced about Shaun Murphy (who is a scratch golfer) playing golf in a professional competition. I wonder did any of the pro's complain about an amateur playing?

Robertson was very gracious in defeat, Murphy was embarrassing - even though I sort of understand where he is coming from. He wouldn’t have said a word had he won the game.

Missed Robertsons defeat but did have a chuckle at Murphy's rant basically saying when you read between the lines "I don't want amateurs in as they may beat, this should be a closed shop so we can share all the riches it brings".

Same mentality as those football clubs that wanted a Super League and couldn't give two hoots for the Sport.

Another shock as Ding departs York early, Astley (the conqueror of Robertson) also loses, along with Ali Carter and 147 man Gary Wilson.

Watching Hossein Vafaei beating Mark Selby, 4-0 at the interval.
