I wouldn't say that. Eurosport wouldn't have any coverage if it wasn't for the BBC, because they just buy the rights to use their feeds. They might occasionally decide to dedicate more airtime to the matches, but coverage for me is about more than just the matches. The BBC have better commentators, pundits, interviews, backstage stuff, studio talk, Hazel...Originally Posted by Leo View Post
The BBC frustrate me sometimes, but no one does snooker better. Snooker without the BBC would be like Laurel without Hardy.
Thanks. I'll have a search.Originally Posted by CueAntW147 View PostLast edited by Billy; 6 December 2015, 10:53 PM."Kryten, isn't it round about this time of year that your head goes back to the lab for retuning?"Comment

I am usually not a fan of 10-5 finals, but I have to admit I enjoyed every minute of that. Neil Robertson is a worthy champion, he played the best snooker all week, and he kept his composure brilliantly tonight in the midst of all the antics. Some of the clearances he made throughout the week were really top notch, and I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone win so many frames on pink and black in a tournament before. :smile: Anyway, nice to see him winning back-to-back titles and going back to the kind of snooker that saw him rise to the top of the game.
Liang certainly played his part as well. He was second best all match, but he managed to get the crowd on his side and got a great reaction every time he put something together. I don't remember the last time anyone got a bigger applause for a single shot than that brown to the middle when he screwed in and out of baulk. :smile: Obviously he missed too many easy pots, and it wasn't just the pressure of the final, it's something that has always been a problem in his game. He needs to cut those mistakes out and he could be a real danger in tournaments, and of course he won't always be facing an in-form O'Sullivan or Robertson as he did in the two major finals he's reached. :smile: Nice to see him getting into the Masters as well. He should have been there in 2010 when World Snooker screwed him out of a wildcard place, and I remember a lot of people at the time saying that he would eventually get there on merit anyway. Well, it's taken six years, but the injustice will now finally be corrected. :wink:
All in all, the 2015 UK Championship will be remembered as a great tournament, certainly much better than the previous few editions. Looking forward to the Masters now. :smile:Comment

Ah sorry never saw that - but yeah agree with you, his time seems over.. a few tournaments here and there for sure but wont become a legend that he potentially could have been.Originally Posted by Leo View PostComment

Does anyone have any inside info about Ding his decline seemed very quick. He looked like he could easily make the step up.This is how you play darts ,MVG two nines in the same match!

As many of us said at the time Robertson V Higgins was basically the final. - that is the way the draw goes I guess.Comment
