Sweep Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I can't believe this shit is still televised, it really is dull as fuck. They need to do something to try and jazz it up,like only give them a maximum of 5 seconds per shot once they approach the table. Even then it would be dull as fuck, but at least it would be over sooner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrelli Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Why do people want games to be faster as if that is the solution to everything FFS? You either like snooker or you don't. If you don't fair enough but spare us the dull suggestions. I hate motor sport so I suggest they get rid of safety helmets and only allow taking bends at 240 mph.

Sweep Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 It might take longer. Yes, some players are really quick, some though can take what seems like an age working out what their next shot (or series of shots) are going to be I don't particularly have anything against snooker, I used to play it several times a week (when I lived above a snooker club) - I just don't find it a interesting sport to watch. It always seems to be on one of the Eurosport channels though, so there clearly are a few people who still like it as a spectator sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter MickyD Posted May 2, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted May 2, 2017 Where have all the characters from the sport gone? The folk who could play AND be entertaining. The current players, with very few exceptions really are dull as dishwater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Alf Hartigan Posted January 21, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted January 21, 2018 Liked Mark Allen for a long time. Great to see him win it. After every match he kept saying he wasn't playing that well, but he was easily the best in every match, hope he can win a few more now. Snooker's looking up again.

Site Supporter Cheese Posted March 10, 2019 Author Site Supporter Share Posted March 10, 2019 Ronnie O'Sullivan just got his 1000th Century break in the final frame of the Players Championship at Preston. Fucking unbelievable. Born to play Snooker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger_Dubuis Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) Ronnie carries the sport, is more exciting to watch and has scored more centuries in less frames, but i reckon Stephen Hendry of the 1990s was the best there has been or most ruthless winning machine.

Farrelli Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 There were less top players when Hendry was dominating. Hendry was a winning machine but Ronnie is the best to watch and will surpass most of SH's records. Ronnie has also been the best over a number of eras and is still getting better at 43. Remarkable player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted March 11, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted March 11, 2019 Not bad for a bloke who got bored with the game. Having given up he must have realised that other folk with less talent were winning the prize money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
