Can anyone else hear a kind of whistling noise during the Eurosport commentary? It sounds like one of them needs to blows there nose or something lol.

[em@rel]

No sound problems for me.

[scottley]

I'm fairly sure its Mike Hallett, its the whistling sound you sometimes get when you have a stuffy nose, think Jim Carrey in me, myself and Irene, i can definately hear it.

Eurosport don't really put much thought in to their scheduling.
Cycling on British Eurosport, snooker on Eurosport 2. You would think they would have the snooker on British Eurosport.

It means I can't watch the snooker on a Sky Go as for some bizarre reason the only show one Eurosport channel. Grrrrrrr.


Rant over.

sorry?
The all the Eurosport channels I have on my Sky are denoted as British Eurosport?
Never used the Sky Go but would haver thought they would have multi channels on there as well?

[cueman]

anyone watching Fu vs Valiant? This guy is probably the worst player I've seen for a long time, couldn't believe it when they said he's a world snooker coach too! On this performance I'd suggest he looks for another career because snooker is certainly not for him. I hate it when people make a career coaching the game when they are such poor players themselves.

Williams vs Wenbo up next should be a good match. Williams using an acuerate cue apparantly and seems to like it.

[DeanH]

I would not be so harsh, it is his first time on TV, etc., we have seen many a newbie lose it on the big stage.
Interesting about Williams, is that a very recent change?

He must have won quite a few matches just to get to that stage. But I must confess I was thinking the same. How can a snooker coach pot that badly. It was a bit of a nightmare for him which was made worse because Fu gave him lots of chances and he failed to make a sizeable contribution with any of them.
I bet he regularly makes tons on the practise table though.

[Vic Flange]

Ah, just noticed they have started calling it British Eurosport 2 (it just used to be Eurosport 2). Anyhoo, the Sky Go app only shows Eurosport 1 which seems bizarre to me.

[cyberheater]

Okay. I take it back. Stefanow is the worse snooker player I've seen on tv. He's had 5 chances in this frame and only scored 26.

[Neil Taperell]

Sounds like me

The thing is , how many of these players actually play on Star Tables in practice ?

And even if they do , i still reckon these Match tables will play slightly quicker .

[cyberheater]

That was a quality century by Docherty. Great to see him still playing well.

[tugatipster]

Mark Selby early exit was the most shocking result so far.
Stefanow show a good long ball shooting and defensive game against Neil Robertson. However doesn't handle well with the pressure.

[robertmac]

Too bad to see Robertson out. Only 2 centuries from him this
tournament as he seemed to break down in the 70's 80's.
I would like to see Trump do well and continue to get back
into form.

[cyberheater]

Alan McManus is doing well. Knocked out Robertson and is on his way to take out Dott. One more frame to go. Keep going Alan.

EDIT:-

Well done Alan.
