Trackdaybob Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 UK Championship well under way now. The 'Juddernought' (sorry) already away home. No 'Triple Crown' for him Great to see the BBC bring in a female player onto the panel. Er, I think. No idea who she is,. A multi world champion apparently There on merit of course.

No agenda at all Wid though Leanne Evans. She is probably the best current hope of a woman breaking into the main circuit and qualifying for the World Championships (when a female does the BBC will be making damn sure the next Galaxy knows never mind every individual on this planet). The women's snooker championship thing annoys the hell out of me as it's the first to 6 in the final, which is f**k all on the main circuit. Pretty sure the women darts is the same. The UK Championship has been good if you like scrappy frames but the standard has been pretty pish so far in the matches I've watched. Delighted Trump went out as the BBC wankfest was horrendous (they now focus every ounce of their energy on Ronnie). The quicker Mark Allen fucks off by losing the better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meanmistermustard Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) Leanne was commentating on the Yan v Lisowski match but McManus is now on with Parrott. Maybe she just got bored senseless as both tv matches tonight are dire with the highlight so far being McManus saying "ooh, what a slice of good fortun... oh, he's left it." Selby v O'Donnell must be one of the shittiest matches I've seen in a very long time. Unbelievably fucking atrocious. Currently 3-2 Selby.

Trackdaybob Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 The BBC coverage annoys me these days. I liked it back in the day with match choice on the red button where you could select the match you wanted. Now it's a mess with only one match on the red button probably because the other is online or whatever. I don't want to watch online. I want to pick the match I want to watch on tv. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) It's Reanne Evans, not Leanne. Was interested to see if she would end up in an awkward interview with Mark Allen but they, disappointingly, interviewed him in a corridor somewhere. (Evans is his ex and mother of his child and, by all accounts, they don't like each other). Hope one of the underdogs can win this. Got tickets for the Worlds for the third year running next season. Was thinking of attending the UK for an change the year after. Quite fancy a piss up in York, anyway.

I don't have a smart TV. There's nothing wrong with the TV I have. All I want is to press the red button. Then press the blue button. Then select the match I want. Like I used to be able to.

Had no idea she is Allen's ex but I pay no attention to their private lives. I have tickets to two matches at the World Championships and really looking forward to it; hoping one is an utter shitfest that doesn't finish until 4:30 in the morning. The Masters would be my preference over the the UK, either that or the Tour Championship due to the longer matches. BBC could easily open up another channel on the tv red button for the other table at the Worlds, like what they do for Wimbledon. I've had a football match and both snooker matches on over the last two nights and will be the same this evening.

Bully Wee Villa Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Yeah, I liked it best when London had the Olympics and they had about seventy red button channels. Shame no snooker in the Olympics, though. Maybe one day... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to hear Taylor rhapsodising about This Talented Chinese Player, sadly he's paired with Alan McManus who is the worst commentator in the history of anything because he does not shut up. Good match, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead have been watching one of the worst* matches to ever be played on tv; Gary Wilson v Nigel Bond. Mark Selby's last match was an utterly appalling standard, Wilson's match is far far worse. *A few of the Ebdon classics would probably beat this shit for the worst match ever on tv (Ebdon v Dott in 2006 being one) Edited December 5, 2019 by meanmistermustard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I'm a fucking masochist I'm also watching the conclusion of Allen v Bond. Nige is a nice enough guy but this match is pretty pish as well despite the final frame tension. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
