Snooker?

[Smallclub]

I'm watching snooker on TV (World Champ., Sheffield; Robertson v Gilbert), with a Lusitania from 2004 and a glass of Talisker?

Any snooker fans?

Yep I love watching snooker, sadly our local lad Mark Selby is already out

There has been some big upsets already, its shaping up to be a good championship.

Used to play years ago, still have my cue. Like to watch when it is on.

Jimmy White was a hero of mine when I was a kid...Not really a fan of this latest crop but I still watch it now and again.

I was a member of Willy Thornes snooker club in Cambridge. Even met the big man once!

I blame the BBC for getting me hooked on snooker as a kid, Pot Black was religious viewing in our household.

It was great to see the 'old' Stephen Hendry playing, bagging a 147 hopefully gives him the confidence to go far this year. I've always admired his approach to break building.

Hendry's looking bloody good just now! What a story number eight would be.

I agree Mike, Hendry is looking very dangerous. I am a big Ronnie fan though, and I hope he does well this year. I still think that when he's playing at his best, there is simply no one who can touch him.

Love a bit of snooker too! It's a thing from my childhood too, still remember trying to follow what was going on in black and white!

Wish I had a smoking location where I could put it on, can't think of a better way of passing the time with a nice DC on the go!

Jimmy White was my fav player, always loved watching him, he could pull off some great shots.
Hendry is a great and is tough to beat in any tournament.
But the best player i've seen and could watch, day in day out is the Rocket Ronnie O'Sullivan he has a natural touch no other player has, and when on his game he's simply amazing, and no one will beat him....i mean come on, who uses the knuckle on the middle pocket to get position so he can continue his break and win the frame...and racks up a 147 faster than most players take half a dozen shots, i just hope he uses his ability to win more...

I watched him last night (at 3am!), he's amazing…
An other favorite of mine is Judd Trump.
