also with the UK Gov starting to make ISPs block streaming sites

Geez, that sounds terrible.

Geez, that sounds terrible.

It is a bit lame. There are ways around it, but they have their disadvantages.

True. But should we have to go to such lengths as sportlemon?! also with the UK Gov starting to make ISPs block streaming sites, I don't think it'll be long before that sites not open to the UK. I just think it should be part of the beebs coverage in some way. :-(

for every site they block there will be another also we have proxy to use thats getting around banned sites for the minute

The score is 3-1 for Luca right now. Hope he wins.

As you say its a shame. I wanna know who's he got in his corner, who's looking out for his best interest. I'm sure he's heard it all before, but everyone knows, if there is one single player missing from the top end of all the events its Cope. You can take all the others and stick'm on tables 15,16 and 17. The one player I wanna see play, but play to his potential on the tv table its him.
maybe the babycham's got him in a head lock

Totally agree, if he tidied up a bit technically (keep his head down after the shot, smaller back swing + all the things you said) he may of been more successful. He was such a raw talent. A really prolific break-builder. Such a shame!

I think I root for him because I used to have a very similar arm sticking out style to him.

[Holden Chinaski]

Luca Brecel is not playing good so far. Think he will lose. He needs a new trainer in my opinion. His shot selection is ridiculous sometimes. Stephen Hendry should train him.

[Holden Chinaski]

Luca should get some lessons on safety play from Ray Reardon or Steve Davis.

Liveworldsnooker.tv which is totally ligit, had full coverage of 2 tables. OK, their production values are a little basic, but it's only £3 a month which is pretty cheap. It'd be great if the beeb extended their coverage, but I doubt that's going to happen, unless...

C'mon Barry, sell it to'em, or somebody else. Isn't that part of your job?

[Ronnie's tip]

Does anyone have a tv guide for the BBC, so I can see who's playing when?

Thanks.

Mitchell travis, just watch the interview on WS, comes across as a crcking lad with a bit to say. anyone know anything about him, like where he trains and his spring partners and so on?

It is frustrating to be a Brecel fan. You know he's capable of much, much more than that but yet every single time you see him play you're left with that strange feeling he messed it up again. It often times feels like he does not enjoy playing and would rather be home (but obviously it's only a feeling). Shot selection is very poor, and same thing for his concentration.

Is it only the age/experience factor? Does he have a coach?
