First Power Snooker Event: Discuss...

[Raldon]

OMG! This is abysmal.
The table etc. looks pretty cool and futuristic...thats fine to me.
But with this crowd we go back to the dark ages. Yuck!

[Luke Hooper]

wtf! ali carter just rolled up behind yellow as no pot on, and they crowd call him a "boring t*sser!!" ???

what on earth!!! how can they do that? thats incredible!

i just want to slap some res[ect into these people!

shawn murphy made a good escape and they just go "you set him up you plonkerrrr"

this is so disrespectful to such talented players, its not a circus show!

[The Statman]

So why was that a foul of 8 points, then, when Ronnie broke off?

[kokokol]

Because the cue ball wasn't in the baulk area.

[missneworleans]

lol if it was out of рower zone it should be a foul of 4 рoints

[chasmmi]

Because the cue ball wasn't in the baulk area.

But if it wasn't in the baulk area then points are not doubled and thus fouls are not doubled surely?

If it was in the baulk, then it wasn't a foul???

[The Statman]

Because the cue ball wasn't in the baulk area.

Exactly. I thought it was only doub le if it was in baulk?

[atm147iwish]

come on though! its good entertainment surely?
if not turn over
plus from what ive seen all the players have enjoyed it?
as a one off format - why not?

[Neil Taperell]

Shocking

Great idea but the crowd ...what a joke . Only watched 2 frames of the semi and turned it off . Could not stand anymore of the noise .
Not for me at all with the crowd interaction .

[belfast141]

no !!!

I love snooker....am 34 now..think i have been watchin and playing it from i was about 10.... but i had to turn this power snooker off...todays matches weren't too bad...but this evenings have been to rowdy and off putting..... seems the audience have went there for 1 reason - to get drunk !

[missneworleans]

aaa ding blew it away could have been interesting
damn this event was just made for ronnie!

[gem]

Sorry, this is not for me in the slightest. Just hope some of this crowd stay away from proper snooker.

If it gives a bigger audience to snooker then it is a good thing but I'll not be watching it.

[Peter147]

I was that embarrassed after 5 minutes of watching it, I had to turn over. Snooker has its own unique atmosphere - silence. Take your alcohol-fueled idiots elsewhere. They don't belong in snooker. The only way I will watch Power Snooker again is if they got rid of the booze.

[missneworleans]

of course why to go to рtc where you have to work for 3 days to win 1O k, and here you win 35 for one and a half hour

[jim evans]

raw power

the game must have been invented with rocket ron in mind he was made for this type of game and atmospere he could play this all dayevery day
