2017 Snooker-Shoot-Out

[jw147]

Yes, this crowd interaction has rapidly gone from just plain annoying to intolerable. It's getting so I don't want to watch now, which is a shame as I quite enjoy the format.

As others have said, though, it's laughable that this is a ranking tournament.

Ill be laughing and celebrating if jimmy wins it, oh dang, i just cursed him

How is it that they can start the 2nd round draw before the 1st round is completed?

[GeordieDS]

It sounds like there's a bus trip from St.Nicks in:stupid:

What I'd really like to know is, has anyone ever won a frame in the shootout when they needed snookers?

Can't stand it. Not proper snooker, people acting loudly like in darts.....no, thanks but no thanks. Not interested in watching that zoo.....

So do you like this event or not, Erwan?

I can't get over the fact that this is a ranking event.

I didn't care much for the tournament anyway, but might have given bits of it a watch. But steadfastly refuse to watch a second of it until this brainless decision is reversed.

if you watch with sound off, can be entertaining

Can't do it. The dude between my ears won't allow it!

I've enjoyed this so far, never really watched it before, Graeme Dott's break there was great to watch. I could do without the crowd though, it's obviously fake and there's no need for it really, just get a normal snooker crowd, they know when to cheer and when to shut up.

The difference in etiquette between this lot and the Crucible is massive and akin to what you get at the tennis with a vulger Flushing Meadows crowd against
a civilised Wimbledon even although they're outdoor events!

Just been made, 96 by Graeme Dott. Should have been a century though

Yeah that blue was fairly easy really

[shmeeko69]

watching it with the sound off, the crowd are doing my head in.............

They've been hired by Hearn and are part of the PDC darts roadshow
