oh pinched the red then over pinched the Black....

Oh how I miss Netherlands, wish I could live there

Wanna switch? I've always thought about Australia as one of very few countries I would like to live instead and could feel at home.

[bingo]

I think being over here / in Amsterdam you had much better things to do than watch tv...right? Great you have been able to do that...go and live for a short while in another country...very cool indeed.

DeanH was right, should give my fingers a rest...and watch the snooker instead

Cahill in with a chance...if he takes this then my hat goes off to him, that would be impressive. Hope he does it....

oh don't want to jinx but ....

JC ...

Wow, nice story.

I live in Amsterdam for 6 months but never really gathered that it was popular. Maybe cause I did not watch have a TV there and hence couldn't watch Dutch TV.

[DeanH]

what commentators?
BBC or Eurosport?

BBC. Which one is better?

well ....
many a thread about that
JV JP DT many don't like but SH and SD and when not playing KD are good
Euro can be good all round as they watch all the events
but most like the snippets and features that BBC do between matches

[bingo]

Hmm when I was a young lad I started in my early teens with normal pool and billiards in the clubs and naturally progressed into snooker. Also on Dutch tv in the 80s snooker was already much televised, as we could receive bbc back then already. So I basically grew up watching good old Steve Davis in his prime, followed by the Hendry years. And The Netherlands has always received snooker as a sport rather quickly and warmly...very popular over here.

...and I never looked back

Eurosport unless Hendry is commentating.

I tend to do the same. Eurosport has become my go-to channel for snooker.

[cyberheater]

Yup like I thought would happen. Ding has picked himself up as great champions do, and Cahill knows he has missed a great chance to win. I'm pretty certain this will go to 5 all...

Yes. I totally agree. I really expect Ding to win this now.

[daffie]

It's perfect Davis vs Goliath stuff. Are Cahill's dream going to be realised tonight. I really hope so.

Cahill looking a tad downcast there when he walked off. Chin up mate. You can do this.

Ding scored more points and potted more balls but is 3-5 down.

and better potting success
88% - 81% weird

4-all to Lawler and Allen. Lawler had clawed his way back into that match.
