There are definitely catchphrases in the list that should not be, some are defamatory, some are just invented and irrellevant.MiniPsybetron (talk) 15:06, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Catchphrases

Wikipedia is not a collection of miscellaneous / unsourced information. Thanks guys. Deiz talk 20:12, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deiz - just because you consider something to be irrelevant doesn't mean it has no place on here. He has a catchphrase section for a reason, if you don't watch snooker enough to recognise their legitimacy then that's your problem. The real issue is with the obviously fake catchphrases that are being added by 92.234.41.4. How about you tackle his/her conduct instead of just lazily removing everything? Just a heads up.

If there are further issues with anonymous IP edits I'll be happy to sanction the IPs involved and semi-protect the page. It is Wikipedia policy that the encyclopedia is not a collection of miscellaneous or unsourced information. Any information that is not reliably sourced can be removed by any editor, at any time. I know this can be disappointing to learn, but I'm afraid it is a core policy. For what it's worth, I'm a fairly avid snooker fan. Thanks, Deiz talk 20:01, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

May I suggest in that case that you just removed the Catchphrases section entirely, because the three you've left are totally unsourced as well. Or is it one rule for you and another for other people?

Removed the catchphrases section

Since none of them are sourced anyway it's not fair to keep subjectively deciding which ones we would each like to keep and removing others, so there's no point in keeping it there at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.195.128.84 (talk) 14:31, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Catchphrases

These were put on the article years ago and remained there for ages despite obviously being vandalism. Obviously they can't be put back on there because most of them are untrue, but they were so funny that I wanted to share them. I'll understand if this gets reverted but I mostly just wanted a more recent version available rather than having to search through them next time I fancy reading them.

Catchphrases "That's absolutely inch-perfect."

"Welcome to Gardeners' World!" (when somebody hits a 'plant' shot of one ball onto another).

"Jupiter, Jupiter, munch it down" (when someone pots the brown in one of the centre pockets).

"Where's the cue ball going?! WHERE'S THE CUE BALL GOING?!!" (when the cue ball appears to be heading towards a pocket).

"Is he having a laugh? Are you having a laugh?" (when Joe Swail misses an easy yellow).

"Great chance!"

"If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it."

"Pot as many balls as you can." (when Michaela Tabb enters the arena).

"Peasants, pigs and astronauts!" (when the cue ball splits the pack of reds after hitting the blue).

"Good night JV." (said in a glum voice in response to someone, often Jim Davidson, saying "say good night JV").

"It's all about the in-play"

"You know what they say, all toasters, toast, toast, toast, toast, toast!" (when the scores are tied).

"Well, roger me sideways and call me Mr. Bent-Back Tallywhacker" (When a player goes in-off the blue)

"He'll settle for that." (when a shot doesn't go completely as planned, but the result is still beneficial to whoever played it).

"A finer coco-shunter you couldn't ask for!" (when a player achieves the rare feat of using the brown ball in a plant)

"Put on those old clogs, we're going to dance in Itchycoo Park." (when someone pots a red followed by the blue followed by a red then a pink).

"It's there!" (when an important and tough pot is sunk or on course for the pocket).

"There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded."

"Did anyone else have that pie from the canteen? I've got a right rectal going on 'ere."

"Please be standing for Breakus Maximus" (When a player completes a 147 break).

"That's one of his five-a-day." (when someone pots the green).

"Lock me in the cupboard and feed me pins!" (After a series of red-black combos have been dealt with spectacularly)

"Gravity took over there!" (when the ball seems to stop just before the pocket but ultimately drops in).

"Spiceworld!" (upon a player compiling a century).

"Why don't you say that to my face?"

"Stick it in without taking your shoes off" (When a player cleans up in his first visit)

"That wiped its feet" (when a ball rattles in the jaws, before going in).

"If life gives you lemons, make lemonade" (when a yellow is despatched)

"I know I'm biased, but Shaun Murphy can stick his Jesus up his dunghole."

"Tremendous pot!" (usually after a hard or long distance shot)

"It knocked three times, but needed a password!" (when a ball rattles the pocket before potting)

"Christ's fat cock!" (said after a player aggressively plays what most would consider a low percentage pot) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.153.22.151 (talk) 16:30, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is definitely a United fan.

Not a City fan as the page has wrongly been reverted to.

Some proof, if needed:
