Snooker

[gavroche]

I am watching the match between Selby and Murthy and enjoying every minute of it. Both players are very skilful, especially in their safety. Who says snooker is boring? It certainly isn't this afternoon.

Dull-fest.

They should introduce large amounts of alcohol, 5 pints before each match and then one pint a frame or the first 5 frames, and see how it goes after that. When one player was at the table the opponent would be permitted to spill their pint but only if once a frame; it would all then kick off. Likewise the opponent would be permitted to "look at their burd" but if they were caught doing this they would forfeit the frame. Incorrect claims of "are you looking at ma burd?!" would result in a free punch being offered.

Good attempt at positivity, monsieur Gav. But you should have chosen a different subject (snooker is boring, IMO), as I just suspect you're trying to rid yourself of the label as CC's most miserable sod!





I'm only jesting - mostly.

Not at all as I couldn't care what label I get. I have always spoken what I think and am to old to change now.

Sorry about posting that within your post, didn't mean to.

I've no problem with that, Gav, as long you're not out to offend or insult people (which I don't think you are).

This is my intention, contrary to some people on here I must say.

Snooker is brilliant. The pros make it looks so easy when it is anything but.

Did Jocky Wilson play top level snooker, too?

I don't think so, but Bill Werbeniuk did
