Masters has been brilliant this week. I’ve even managed to get my missus into watching the snooker over the last year or so, got her hooked on the world championship to the point she was watching it in the house on her own when ‘working from home’ 😂😂
By far my favourite sport to sit and watch, I’d watch it before football these days. Just a shame I’m absolutely hopeless with a highest break of about 16
Snooker like football have no characters these days. Give me 80's, 90's players rather than today's robots.Quote:

I wouldn't have mentioned Trump. Yes he's talented but he isn't a 'character' as such. Unless being a mouth is all it takes to be a character.Quote:

Did you see the Allen/Selby black ball finish. It lasted at least 8 mins. Only a purist would enjoy that. Someone tuning in for the 1st time IMHO would have switched off classing it as boring.
Some of the frames I enjoy watching most are the cat and mouse battles where snookers are required, or the counter 50 and 60 odd counter clearances under pressure.Quote:
