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

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.

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..

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..

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

Out of that quartet i would plump for Dale..

[Matt_2745]

I guess Rob is an experienced commentator for other sports (see his commentary CV here), so that will explain the choice a bit, but importantly none of those are snooker...

good luck selty against jimmy michie

yes Rob Walker isnt a MC he is a sport broadcaster with the BBC but Snooker is such a complex game to understand angles you need to develope reds being straight on balls isnt great but rob thought it was....
