2014 World Championship - Discussion

[cyberheater]

BBC commentators for Allen-Robertson: Dennis Taylor, from Northern Ireland, massive Mark Allen fan and Terry Griffiths, Mark Allen's coach. You can't beat a bit of impartial, un-biased commentary!

LOL. That is bad. Ha ha.

On the other table Murphy is on fire at the moment.

There's plenty of software out there bud that let's you record off the internet..... Then you wouldn't miss a single frame!!

Interesting. I will look into it.

Yep. Two frames on the bounce. Fu is also playing a hard attacking game. This is great snooker.

Sound great! I'm savouring that one for later viewing, possibly tomorrow morning as there are no morning sessions.

Are you watching the Allen vs Robertson match with the BBC commentary team?

I was until just now as the Beeb will end their schedule anyway in 5 minutes, so already headed over to Eurosport. Any particular reason you're asking?

It was a earlier comment by a forum member that the commentary team consisted of one person from Northern Ireland and the other one being his coach. I wondered if there was as bias.

Ah got it. Didn't detect any particular bias from the commentators, nor would I expect it.

They're trying their best not to let it show but it's completely obvious they both desperately want Mark Allen to win. Dennis Taylor, in particular, gets really excited each time Neil misses. I switched to Eurosport in the end.

Murphy has won 3 on the spin. Now 7 - 4.

LOL. I prefer the commentary on Eurosport anyway.

The BBC make me f***ing laugh!! Earlier today they showed a programme called 50 Years of Sport at the BBC, or something, in which presenter Sue Barker announced towards the end that they'd 'saved the best till last'. This, justifiably so, was the '85 World Snooker Championship Final. Despite this 'bigging up' of the sport, they'd rather show the Antique f***ing Roadshow on the red button, rather than the snooker.

To**ers!!

[brusque]

Murphy is flying ... but there has hardly been any pressure from Fu .... Allen Vs Robbo is much more of a contest

The 85 Final program was shown last Sunday...I know cause I taped it (and still need to watch it).
