Bully Wee Villa Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) I like Steve Davis best at demonstrating stuff on the spare table. Don't particularly like or dislike anyone too much on commentary except for hating Virgo's tedious "where's the cueball going?" which he does for effect when the white isn't within two yards of the pocket. Big fan of Seema Jaswal in the studio. O'Sullivan annoys me as he has had decades of TV appearances and still infects each sentence with at least three "y' know"s. Surely someone could have coached that out of him by now? He is decent apart from that, someone should tell him.

GiGi Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Hendry, McManus and Davis are all good. Hendry is scathing at times but it's better than the kiss-arse attitude some of the others take usually. He knows he has the standing to say whatever he wants and does so with abandon. Very good. I actually think O'Sullivan and Foulds are both good on Eurosport, when O'Sullivan's meds are still working at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 The first episode of "Gods of Snooker", focusing mainly on Alex Higgins, was really good. Would recommend watching on iPlayer if you missed it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next one moves on to the middle of the decade and Steve Davis then the third one takes us up to the Hendry era but focuses on Jimmy White. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiGi Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 The British Open has drawn Mark Allen against his ex missus and baby drama mama Reanne Evans They absolutely hate each other, they better televise that. In other news minnows Mark Selby and Shaun Murphy also playing each other on the first round. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) Liking the random draw. Much more exciting than watching Selby and Trump swat away the world number 125 eight times a season.

Much more exciting than watching Selby and Trump swat away the world number 125 eight times a season. Random draw good. Bo5 matches not good. The quarters and semis are 7 frames and the final 11 which confirms it as a diddy-tier tournament. Would like to see a bigger event try the format. Still, £100k up for the winner which is great money for a short format. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Yeah I only don't mind the best of 5 frames if it's some soft of group stage with each player playing at least three games. They can't argue they don't get a fair go, then. Being kicked out of a tournament for losing three frames seems harsh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The likes of Trump and Lisowski could conceivably win matches before most other games have got out of their first frames. I prefer to settle in to watching snooker on the tv but you will see some matches over in 30-40 minutes here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 The British Open has drawn Mark Allen against his ex missus and baby drama mama Reanne Evans [emoji38] They absolutely hate each other, they better televise that. In other news minnows Mark Selby and Shaun Murphy also playing each other on the first round. A reminder that this is tomorrow night at 7pm, hopefully ITV have it on.John Higgins is in effect the reigning champion as he won it when it was last played 17 years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) Not sure If I have ever seen two flukes in a row before a player loses a frame- Tian fluked a red off a safety and then hard the brown come out out and roll along the cushion before going into the opposite pocket. Williams made him pay for missing a fairly easy yellow. Edited August 16, 2021 by Comrie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Also John Higgins kicked off his defence of the title with a 147 in the first frame. Wins 3-1. He's off the drink apparently and looks a good couple of stone leaner. Great to see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
