2016 World Championship discussion

I wish they would just drop it so someone who actually wants it picks it up.



Time to fek the beeb off for sure.

Yes the BBC go off air to show gardening and its not even carried on on the RB. No wonder they lost the Open golf to Sky.
Day one and already heard numerous commentators on both BBC and Eurosport talking about big cushion bounces. What is it with these tables??

[Catch 22]

Disappointing from the BBC . I know I say this every tourney ...but I would love the option of different camera angles via the red button .

I actually don't like watching snooker from the traditional camera view . I much prefer to watch matches from the side of the table .

I used to race RC cars (it's better than it sounds ) . And at the larger events that are streamed online . You can choose to watch the practice , pits , or any one of the different camera views around the track .

All the racers are interviewed throug out the weekend etc and videos posted online instantly etc .

Obviously that's because it's internet based and not through a tv channel but the coverage was excellent

Not the most promising of starts to BBC's coverage. Day one and they're not bothering to keep it going on the red button. Why, I have no idea.

What, did you expect some sort of miraculous improvement this year?

Alan McManus & Marco Fu
Both lift their heads just before they strike the cue ball..........who else does this; and is there a reason??

McGill has to be the lovechild of Davis, surely?...

[daffie]

Good match and a nice 2-2 scoreline.

[mythman69]

All the Ms coming up next, Maguire v McManus, Murphy v McGill.

Yeah, snooker room tv is showing them around the wrong way. Says Maguire vs McManus but it is Murphy vs Magill and vice versa.

[daffie]

Have been looking forward to these next couple of matches. Shaun vs Anthony...hoping for the same quality as last year. He was simply fantastic to watch...a lovely character.

And the all Scottish clash...how great it is to see McManus back at The Crucible!

I'm starting to get that Crucible Vibe :snooker:

What?! Holy crap...what have they been up to in the last frame I wonder...can't wait to find out

Edit...3 more it was, BBC now on 5-2 and showing frame nr 8.

Btw heard Ebdon made it to 2:15 AM (!) in his 2nd qualifier against Green (10-9)...that must have been some match

[PatBlock]

...so I'm guestimating only 3 more frames to come in this first session?

Might be just 1 :wink:

Eh? BBC still showing the Fu Ebdon match. Marco 4-1 up.

Ah, they must be a bit behind.
