2022 Welsh Open

[Nifty50]

Vafaei not taking advantage of Trump being a little off form.

Looks like Judd's first ranking title of the season this.

I don't know but last night when watching bbc 601 the live welsh open snooker coverage stopped at 9.15 pm, a screen message stated that coverage would continue at 9.30 pm, so fifteen minutes of nothing but a screen message accompanied by some very annoying uplifting repetitive beats, but at 9.30 pm it showed that crap radio one cringing arselicking film interview bollocks with Jodie Comer for half an hour which has been showing for about a decade then cut that short and went to welsh open snooker highlights with Perry wrapping up the match with the winning break.
What on earth was happening there
Semi's today on Quest which will end tonight at 9.00pm for EFL highlights, so will bbc 601 show live snooker after 9.00 pm ? or go through that bollocks once again, I despair sometimes I really do

i noticed that last night as well , i was only mildly interested in the bbc welsh coverage because of darren morgan but now on reflection not necessarily a criticism of him but thats completely needless and expendable as well as any other tv commentating , i think i'll make a concerted effort to go through the whole 10 days of world champs qualifiers coverage and 17 days of crucible coverage just on bet365 and possibly some other betting sites , for me no need whatsoever for rob ronald mcdonald walker and the bbc , i can multitask much better on bet365 as well.

Just file it away in the past , no reason not to.

Bet 365 is ok but its not in HD and when the image is magnified is loses clarity. Agree its a bloody pain in de ass to chase coverage from Quest HD to BBC Wales HD etc . Jack deserves a bloody good kick in de hole also for losing that semi final . Will he ever mature I wonder ? such talent mismanaged

They never need to pay them again really, just use samples from recordings because they say the same crap over and over.....

someone needs to tell these two clowns ,you don’t need to talk on every single shot and between shots .Johnson always sounds like he’s sucking a sweet or something between commentating ,bloody annoying .Shame about Jack losing last night ,think Judd will have to play his worst snooker to lose this .
Strange event really this one ,all the form players went out and the longer the tournament went on more out of form and surprise players went through .Perry needs to stop missing easy balls or Trump will fly through him ,Jack made him look better than he was in the semi .

Couldn't agree more on the commentary, it's just uneccessary and aggravating, I'd turn the sound down but I like to hear the contact on good strikes. Ronnie made some decent points on jack's shot execution when going into the reds, he picked out 3 shots that Jack just hit at 100 mph!! Even I could see the pink into the middle only needed half the pace he used and with stun not an arcing screw shot. He is 100% a diamond that still needs to be cut to be the finished article.

Walden should look back on this comp with a lot of regret, he took Ronnie out with some great play only to lose to Perry. Great form comes and goes and this was his best chance to get back in the winners circle after his back problems etc.

[balkend]

Yes big opportunity lost for Ricky , he seemed to lose the composure and cool head he has displayed so much in the last 6 months or so.

walden doesn't seem to be any better than when he beat o sullivan in the shanghai masters final in 2008 , strange.

Can I ask what is "BBC 601"?
What platform is that Freeview?

[trains]

thats right Dean Freeview, 4 hours 20 minutes of it starting at 1315 today , then 3 hours of the final session 1900 - 2200 , of course all unrestricted and unfettered throughout on bet365.

[DeanH]

do you have Quest?
Being a Home Nations event, Quest also show the Welsh.

yes i have Quest i just find phillip studd and david hendon somewhat drone like and unnecessary , i dont need their input and for me it contributes nothing to the atmosphere , edit that applies for foulds and mcmanus too.

[DeanH]

does Freeview have the BBC Red Button (RB) Channel?

i have a Hisense tv and the red button doesnt seem to work , i just press 601 to get any snooker that might be on there but that wouldnt be often.
