I didn't quite hear what they were saying during the between matches break, they're not bringing this 'ball in hand after a foul' rule into the prem next year are they?

Good, I really don't like that free ball idea at all, horrible.

Thanks for the link.

Nothing like shooting an idea down before it's even been tried!

Personally I think it is a step in the right direction, but possibly too large a stride. I would be looking at something along the lines of, irrespective of where the balls are (ie snookered on all balls or not) if you foul three times in a row then it is ball in hand to the opponent. Doing it for every foul sounds draconian to me, and could well lead to a situation where "1st foul ends game"

The limiting of the game to a ceertain duration also intrigues me. Will an Ebdon like character make a 40 break and then keep running and hiding, knocking the colours safe and keeping someone in the long grass.

Tactically this first variation on a theme could be absolutely fascinating.

Sorry, but IMO the advantage given by such a rule is far too greaat. Anywhere in baulk maybe, but anywhere on the table? Nah, sounds like a game braker to me, and I jusc can't see how it would improve things.

It's only my opinion though, and I may be wrong, I admit that I can be somewhat resistant to change.

Like I said, a step in the right direction, but maybe too big a step! I'm open-minded enough though to wait until it's been proved to be a disaster before I slag it off

Not open-minded enough to respect someone else's right to a different opinion though, apparenttly.

I don't like the idea, you do. End of.

No shooting down, no slagging off, just opinions.

Where have I said I don't respect your opinion? Just because I say I'm open minded enough to give it time doesn't mean I don't respect your decision.

I also haven't said I like the idea. I've said I "think it's a step in the right direction".

I didn't shoot you down. I didn't slag you off. I gave my opinion

Chill!!

Here we go again. Should be good viewing tonight.

Just a quick mention about the Semi & Final dates:

Semi-finals - SATURDAY Nov 27
Final - SUNDAY Nov 28

Wouldn't want anybody to get caught out by the change of day, after coming all this way.

Slight misunderstanding there very.tee., my mistake. I meant the current league table , not the current table in play.

As it turns out, I needed the link to the stream anyway.
