Snooker stars Mark Allen and Shaun Murphy ’s war of words has raged on ahead of the Scottish Open. The pair went at it on Twitter this morning, when the Northern Ireland Open champion tweeted: “Looking forward to getting my Scottish Open campaign underway. Andy Lee up first at 1pm. Let’s keep the good run going.” Murphy then quipped: “Good run? You got pumped a few days ago."
Allen fired back with a sharp jab of his own, saying: “It’s all about blocking out the bad as if it never happened mate. I know that’s harder for you these days as there’s so much bad but you should give it a go. When you getting beat? I mean when you playing, sorry?”
A fan who was following the conversation, let Murphy know it was Allen that had the upper hand as they threw verbal jabs back and forth. “I love how hard you are trying to get one up on @pistol147, but you are failing miserably mate,” the fan chuckled. The 2005 world champion conceded: “I’d love to let my cue do the talking but it’s been letting me down."
