"Ding, Brecel, Selby, Carter and Williams have already gone home. if Ronnie doesn't win it this year then I fancy either Ray Reardon or Graham Miles."

"COYI- Fuck off mate, it's a cracking game, most events sell out and tv viewing figures are decent, game going more global now too. Let's go, Ronnie!"

"Shank - Yea a couple of old mates of mine were decent players and they could get up in the 40's but not higher. Better to play pool, Kirk was right."

"I remember when we were yoots we used cut through the car park of the working men's club in Plumstead where Steve Davis used to practice. One night we spotted him so peered through the window, so he came over and closed the curtains, the ginger fucker."

It is a frustrating game to play for us mere mortals. I got up to the stage where I was making 40 plus breaks but couldnt get any higher despite lots of practice and match play The guy I played with regularly was a slightly better player. and made a couple of half centuries but couldn't improve on that. A snooker coach he consulted reckoned that once you were making 50s regularly you had cracked it and should be able to push on but not in his case . I even asked Kirk Stevens at an exhibition for some tips and he just told me to take up pool. He was pretty much off his face at the time though and had lost three out of the six exhibition frames.

Love a bit of snooker. Might go up to Sheffield for a bit of the seniors after the worlds have finished. BTW I believe it’ll be on TNT sports soon.

"Shut up COYI, you said exactly the same about golf not so long ago and no doubt other sports too. Don't like it, fine, but you ain't judge and jury and your opinion counts no more than anyone else's, no matter how convincing you try to be."

[fraser]

"COYI - What exactly are you arguing about, you find it boring and don't like it.. Fair enough. Others enjoy it.. It's all very weird"

[Manuel]

"I love a bit of snooker, great game, and the level the pro's play at is mental. the average bloke in the street wouldn't be able to pot more than 3 balls in a row. Loved watching the worlds back in the 80's and 90's."

As kids we used to bunk off school to watch the masters at the Wembley conference centre (RIP) as tickets for the afternoon sessions were easily obtainable and cost us nothing. We would invariably end up fucking about and get thrown out Old Len (Crusher) Ganley had us removed a couple of times Later on in my adolescent years I got into my snooker and played a few pros (Burden Hann Robertson Stevens Gould) mostly when they were practicing for the masters at the Fairview club. They would give you a 90 point start and still wipe the floor with you.

Surely Jimmy must win it this year!!

Worth watching up to the mid 90s now a load of old shit

It’s a good sport to have on in the background as you don’t miss anything…..
