q school scores

Didn't know James Silverwood was giving Qschool a go. I played him in my first ever comp down in Lancaster and he now comes through to our monthly comps, he's been a good supporter of our comps, I hope he does well.

I think this is what's nice abut Q school for us not entering, watching players we've played giving it a go. Adam Edge is from our league and beat Dave Finbow 3-0 but lost out to Thor 3-2 in the next round. Adam's a good player and i've had some good matches with his the last few years with him usually just coming out on top.

[Mr Snooker]

also another player from the 90's Paul Davies of wales beat Daniel Ward 3-2, he plays another Welshman and former tour player next Jamie Jones. I think paul reached the quarter finals of a ranking event in the very first ranking event he played in and also reached two consecutive semi finals in a row in 1993.

I think there are two James and Liam Graham who have been to our comps at Qschool. It's great to see how they do, I know Liam better than James as he's been through on other occasions apart from the comps but it would be great to see them both do well.

notable players who failed to win through , michael white , craig steadman , sam baird , michael georgiou , alfie burden .
also hardly any chinese amateurs if any at all came over for this for obvious reasons so the field may be seen as just a little bit lighter than previous years .

[itsnoteasy]

The Chinese players not coming over will have skewed the stats but there were only two players under 22 who made it and four over thirty. Has he game changed ? Or are there no more outstanding youngsters anymore. Is it possible we have been lucky enough to be around when snooker is the best it will ever be ?

i suppose its too expensive to duplicate pro conditions for most youngsters then they have the obstacle of facing in - house players like the mcleod's , isn't this dog done to death , probably the only way is to open it up again like in the early 90's .

I would love to see it opened up again, I know a lot of players paid and played who were never going to make it but I think it match hardened younger players very quickly. There is a huge gulf between knocking in centuries in the club and producing match snooker.

yes there should be some structure that finally negates the advantage players who became pro's in the early 90's have had ever since , i mean hamilton whines that they want him to play well when he can't find a decent table to practice on then says his era are still the best when he keeps his tour card a few years ago by the skin of his teeth and eeks out a few wins since , i mean if you had thirty years advantage over most and you got paid for it why would you go anywhere , it needs structural reform ..

Don't take this the wrong way but you seem to have a real bee in your bonnet about what you perceive to be an unfair advantage to those early guys as you keep bringing it up on various threads .

It’s not a slight on you just an observation as everyone is entitled to their opinion.

My guess is that you must have some kind of personal history with the current set up with qualifying and players trying to make it through in the modern era.
I’d be interested to know if I’m correct ?. If not what is your snooker background as you see very knowledgeable in all things snooker even if I don’t agree with you sometimes on certain subjects

hi mate , i've played at the q school a few times thats pretty much it , i've also got this image of going all the way to the swsa in gloucester a few years ago and to see the only pro table surrounded by three pro's looking at me like i was encroaching on their turf , thats not meant to be a dig at robert milkins though as he advocates opening the tour up so he's one of the good guys , thats about it :smile:

Ahhhh .... now it all makes sense

That’s a shame you encountered those obstacles as it seems to have left a real negative feeling towards the current set up .

It makes sense now why I have my opinions and you have yours as we come from different eras in the snooker world albeit both as aspiring amateurs.

Are you still playing at that level ?
