Hi!
My name ís Line and I live in Denmark (so I apologize now for any poor English). And here is my story about I came into snooker (sorry but it's a bit long.)
I first got into snooker nearly 2 years ago because my dad and little brother had seen it on Eurosport. They then tried to get me to see it. My first reaction was that it was absolutely boring and then changed the channel.
Time passed on and then one day when I was at my dad's and was bored like hell, my dad switched to see snooker. And as didn't have anything better to do I watch it. I wasn't completely convinced yet and came with a lot of comments about how stupid I thought it was ("What is the point of potting the balls if they just take them up again?"). And I also remember making a comment about a certain player with long dark hair put up in a ponytail who looked extremely stupid.
But my dad explained the main rules to me and I gave it a chance. And it wasn't really that boring. And that certain player wasn't really that stupid.
The first long time i followed it vaguely. I could only see it when I was with my dad every second weekend so it wasn't much I saw.
But that all ended at the 2005 WC. My dad recorded most of the matches for me and droped the tapes of at my mum's house so I could see it.
After the summer holiday I was to move school and so moved to live with my dad and little brother instead because he lived alot closer to the school.
Now I follow it closely. I know the rules and the players better than both my dad and little brother (they say I'm obsessed with the game, tsk. Which they find funny because I've never been interested in any sort of sports). So that is just about it. My fave players is, of course the first player i ever watched(the guy with the ponytail), Ronnie O'Sullivan and Stephen Hendry.
