Shanghai Masters 2009 - Qualifyers and WC round discussions

It's nothing personal but Rob Walker just doesn't cut the mustard as a commentator, he should stick to being an MC as that's what he's better at.

Still find it strange that they couldn't have found someone else, instead of thinking Walker would be a good choice..

well John Parrott got nothing better to do for the remainder of the week....

Dominic Dale and Ken Doherty knocking about somewhere and what about Davis he might be there somewhere tomorrow lol

I didn't hear him today so it's perhaps unfair to judge but I can't imagine that he would have been great, he's just not a snooker man. I like him as an MC unlike a lot of people but as a commentator...just seems unsuitable.

David Roe v Noppadol Sangnil

about 4 balls on the cushing and a initial red using the rest wanting to screw the ball a tad and Rob Walker said it was a great chance for Roe with balls in open play and when Roe missed the rest shot i thought had every chance of missing Rob Walker was amazed he missed it....

totally clueless..

Walkers commentary was fine, whats your problem with it?

Lacks any real expertise or true understanding of the game. Fine if you think he done a good job but it's just my opinion.

[crucible77]

Well he would certainly do a better job than Walker, even though Johnston-Allen wasn't anything special..

nice one selty

wheres Mark Johnston-Allen these days i know he been Rob Walker deputy as MC but christ im sure he would jump at the chance of some cometary work..

sagnil beats David Roe and goes through to play Adrian Gunnell...

I think both Rod and Fergal would prove to be equally tough..

ken played so well last week so his confidence is high but thats a tough route for him under pressure.

[rivercard]

I can't understand why Parrott is still going on.. He doesn't really practice anymore and there's no way he would enjoy a match like that.. It's not that White played some amazing snooker either with only one frame winning break.

[Matt_2745]

He definitely did:

Match 28 - John Parrott 0-5 Michael White
32(32)-83(38,37), 21-67(48), 14-73(73), 17-54, 10-60(34)

There doesnt seem to have been any turn-around in John Parrot's fortunes; opening the season with a 5-0 drubbing.

he did turn up didnt he?

not like the drago game yesterday?

white didnt seem to hang about.

as a massive parrott fan i wish he'd call it a day
