ShawnPreece Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Hi guys I know snooker is a very boring spectator sport but due to my pool background I love watching it, just wondering if anyone else watches it and if anyone is watching the world championships on atm?

Axl Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 No I can't stand watching it however I don't mind playing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 No I can't stand watching it however I don't mind playing it I'm the other way round now. I got not too bad at it a few years ago, I was off with my knee so played most days. As soon as I started getting crap again it just started to irritate me more and more so I just stopped playing. I was on a break of 30 something and just missed a piss easy blue so smashed my cue into the floor and went to get a JD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnPreece Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 I was driving back from Manchester (been watching the football) so I wasn't watching it but my mate was watching it on his phone in the car so was giving me updates, sounded like a great match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Always enjoy the big snooker tournaments but I've not watched any for a while. It's not quite as exciting as it used to be, a lot of the character has been lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Last session tonight. Looks like Bingham may get this. He deserves it too, played fantastic the last few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I like the game played it for many years when I was younger , I watch it with the sound off as the comentators drive me nuts , barry hearne is looking to take the game to the next level , then he needs to look at these hasbeens big time , Hendry and davies ok but the rest are useless , and ever sinse they introduced the ear pieces so the crowd can hear it , it almost feels as if they are trying to get a reaction with outdated comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Yeah good on him. Love to see that, 20 years in the making. I always wanted Jimmy White to do that very same thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice to see sportsmen being magnanimous, especially after the boxing and their usual crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnPreece Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 Definitely well deserved to Bingham, played awesome all tournament Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Definitely well deserved to Bingham, played awesome all tournament The plant on the red against Judd in their decider was fantastic. I saw Murphy was ahead 9-5 iirc and was amazed to see Bingham had leveled later on in the day. Back to underdogs, I would like to see Barry Hawkins win too. I was rooting for him a couple of years ago when he was against O'Sullivan in the finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 well done stuart , good final , nice to see someone like him win , will inspire a new generation of kids I think , or certainly young pros who are finding it hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
