You're talking about a channel that employs Andy Goldstein as a snooker expert. They barely know what snooker is.

Thanks for that Mr Snooker, I was wowndering who he was, so you saved me a goggle.

Tense end to that first frame, Chappel a bit unlucky getting a kick on the last red.

I see Neal Foulds was commontating today on both snooker tornaments on Eurosport he did the Aditya Metha V Zhu Yinghui
in The International Championship and also Yesterday's and Today's matches in the World Seniors Championship, he must have got a quick flight from China lol

[LittleMissAlexa]

ive already ,made that joke and was informed eurosport dont fly their commentators out

[DandyA]

who won? I've just got back from playing snooker so don't know ...

[DandyA]

just in case anyone from Sky Sports reads TSF ... I've enjoyed watching the tournament, best of 3 is obviously a short match but the upside is you get to see 4 matches (8 players) in a single afternoon/evening ... so well done, it's good entertainment ...

my only real gripe is it's a "seniors" tournament but every player I watched was younger than me ... dear oh!

[Ginger Freak]

Dandy: Nigel Bond won 2-0. I thought the tournament was always going to be between him, Morgan and Davis, and so it proved! Must say though, its a shame the TV coverage only started from the last 16, it would have been nice to see some of the 'older' oldies playing!
