Has there ever been a bye gifted at the WC's previously?

I guess not.

[Danger Steve]

Dave Harold? Is he the mysterious commentor?

[DeanH]

I think it is the same person with Dennis T on the Gilbert/Maflin match this morning. All I got so far is a "Dave". (and not the TV channel )

Dave Farah - or that is what I heard - who is Dave Farah? Mo's cousin 3-times removed?

[PatBlock]

does anyone know why you can't watch recent matches on youtube anymore , you can watch all of last years wc qualifiers but virtually none of this years seem to be available .
in fact i think its all down i take that back .

I'm not having any trouble, does this link work for you?

Wikipedia says it is Dave Farrah. Apparently he's a football commentator

No i meant the qualifiers before the last 32 , these used to be all available to watch afterwards , here’s a link to explain what i mean , http://www.snooker.org/res/index.asp?event=743 you could watch all of these afterwards , even though the links are there they’ve all been taken down now , probably the inevitable copyright thing , someone somewhere not making money out of it , not just the world’s i think its all tournaments , ta anyway .

I searched in youtube for "2020 world championships qualifiers" and found lots of the quals
good luck

Have they pulled the plug on crowds already?? Or was it just because I was watching an early morning sesh? I’m referring to the Gilbert / Maflin game.

Yes, Bojo loves a U-Turn.

Dave Farrah is a terrible snooker commentator. Imagine him and Phil Yates together?!

What a disaster! Should never have gone ahead. I don’t buy this ‘better no crowd than no WC at all’ attitude. April came and went months ago. We’ve gone this long without it and survived. Would another 8 month wait until next April have been that bad??

[Shockerz]

Really strange watching the players come on to the 'Walk On' music today, even they were smiling. It must have been a really weird feeling walking down the steps with the music playing and no faces or cheers.

[DeanH]

many are still waving to the "crowd"

[the_unrepentant]

Is anyone else experiencing issues with Eurosport Player?

[Shockerz]

Yeah I saw that Dean. I wonder if they've been asked to do that? Maybe that's why they're grinning as they come on.
