Snooker: Mark Allen faces Twitter rap
MARK ALLEN looks set to be hauled up by snooker’s discipline chiefs again after branding the Chinese “ignorant”.
World No10 Allen, from Antrim, beat Jimmy Robertson 5-1 to reach the last 16 of the inaugural Haikou World Open yesterday.
But Allen, 26, then launched into a Twitter tirade about the host nation and Hainan Island, where the event is staged.
Allen tweeted: “Journey a nightmare, people are ignorant, place stinks, arenas rubbish, tables poor, food horrendous. Other than that I love China!”
