English Open 2018

Pocketsize... Where the pockets were playing quite tight in the Lommel event, these pockets at English Open (just like last year) seem to be playing fairly easy. Always Interesting how much it varies.

Selby. For some reason , his magical safety powers just doesnt give me goosebumps . I like pretty cue techniques

tbh i wouldnt care if he dropped off. He just doesnt do it for me.

can I ask who you are discussing?

I'm starting this thread, although I'm surprised there isn't one already. If I'm missing something (or it under a different title) then please move this post and delete the thread.

It's only a moan anyway. How can ES (or Quest in my case) not be aware of that almost constant crackling/buzzing over their coverage?? It's driving me mental - so much so I've had to hit the mute.

dude, they are the most ignorant pieces of s*** on the planet. I have multible mailed, tweeted and the only ONE reply I got back was from one of the danish staff members, and they say its all fine and that im basically high on shrooms and hearing things that arent there... ill translation but seriously... they are arrogant and unprofessional. Buzzing from commentators headsets due to unearthed wiring or whatever, plus often the danish signal is MONO, for that old ass 80's sound we all hate... no wide sound from an audience clapping at all. Extra annoying when some tournaments make an actual effort in having mic's attached under the left and right corner nets (notice that at Worlds and Champion of Champions i think) they just de-value the whole production by their incompetence.

Damn, i wish that 147 was recorded. Nooh is just a delight to watch. Much like Xintong.

Good to see Selby handling the shorter format better last night. Ok, not really a formidable opponent but he played very well and was very canny in his interview afterwards with the guys. I'd like to see him win one of these shorter format tournaments although it really is a bit of a lottery.

Hi, guys. If you prefer to watch snooker online, you might go here: http://www.snookermatch.live/. I am running this site out of passion for snooker and I am trying to cover all tournaments. I gather streams found all over the internet, handpicked (to be safe).

Skip to 3:38 to hear about the cue

Thanks will have a watch

They've been better with this sort of thing recently, but seem to have reverted to type over the last few days, with various technical issues including the dreaded mustard screen of death popping up all over the place.

I can only hope the sound issue is fixed for tomorrow. I kept waiting for them to throw up a message of the 'We apologise for the sound issues' type, but no, they neither bothered to fix it for the whole afternoon session, or even acknowledge it.

I'm at work watching on my mobile so have the volume down not very noticeable

Anyone have any better pictures of the cue Dale is using?

Cheers Neil. How odd, ES1 was showing athletics the same as ES2 and now it's back to the snooker.

I’m watching it on Eurosport 1 Ken
