Ssb - row leads to qualifying blackout

[ferret]

Good result if you ask me, but will the betting companies not take bets for the qualifying. I could not find any betting for the qualifying on Betfred.com at all for The GP

Statement form 110Sport

Because of media speculation today, 110sport would like to make it known that they are not in dispute with World Snooker, the governing body of professional snooker, concerning the broadcasting of their qualifying events for forthcoming ranking tournaments.

110sport are currently in discussions with IMG over a contractual matter that has arisen, which 110sport have actively been seeking a resolution to.

110sport hope this matter will be resolved quickly in order that they can provide TV coverage from the Pukka Pies UK Championship qualifiers from Prestatyn.

There will be no further comment from 110sport at this time.

Well, for FREE. How generous of them. I'll be watching it.

It's the least they can do with how much of the qualifiers customers of theirs have missed out on all this week..

Indeed, mate. I just wonder how they managed to turn this one good thing into sh*t. Hopefully, they'll show the rest of the qualifiers fully.

[bongo]

Great news to hear it's free for the last few days.

[Peter147]

I'm glad they are showing it for free but I can't understand why it's only on for one hour in the moring. It's not like TV where there is another programme on next. Also, I wanted to watch Tony Drago's match but there wasn't a link to it. I could only watch the Doherty match. If you can only see one match tomorrow, I hope it's Holt v Dale. I wouldn't fancy watching O'Brien v McLeod.

its stupid that its only on for limited time totally bonkers and pointless it would have been better with nothing than watching a bloody frame and at 11am it finishes....

bloody idiots WTF are they playing at ?

[dantuck_7]

I can't understand it either??! Its like being given 5 minutes of a champions league game and then being told, thats it, thats your lot?!
