faraway saint Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 See this years tournament has started at Sheffield. Don't watch it nearly as much as I used to, with Hendry retired I lost some interest. O'Sullivan still the only real star with any character.

Trump raced into 4-0 lead, where nil flattered the guy. Since then it's been honking from both payers, hence the 4-3 score line. Aye, snookers gone to pot.

Thumps the majority of shots and has no fecking idea what the white will do. Cash on hi to win the tournament taking into account snooker is shit.

shull Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/snooker/39649830 Judd Trump faces a fine from snooker bosses for refusing to fulfil his post-match media duties following his shock World Championship loss to Rory McLeod. The pre-tournament favourite was beaten 10-8 in the first round, with his agent saying Trump was unable to talk to the media because he was feeling unwell. His failure to appear is a breach of his contract with World Snooker. The world number two, 27, faces a fine from the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA).

faraway saint Posted April 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) After enduring the Trump match I decided to tune in today and see if this was typical of todays standard. Currently watching Bingham v Wilson, utter dross. Between hardly any "characters" and the standard snooker is in deep trouble. PS Possibly a bit harsh on Wilson against Bingham as Wilson had a very nice 70+ break. Edited April 20, 2017 by faraway saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
