Friday fine, Saurday clashes with footie results......................

The football results don't change. The remain the same once the game has finished. Surely, if there's something else you want to watch, you can give the live scores a miss for the week.

smart was using the same type of excuse as a woman when she says i cant go out tonight im washing my hair (ie cant give a buck about the shoot out)

I'm curious about it, but footie results and the scores coming in is something I look forward to each week..........

And I was doing the same thing I was doing when a woman says that to me.

"Well, how long does washing your hair take? Can't you do that before we go out? I'll buy you a pint at the snooker. What? Where are you going? Are you telling somebody behind me to die? Shall I call you? Can you still hear me?"

The one thing to remember as far as betting is concerned is the draw is open with no seeds which you may have noticed with the draw, may make it more interesting to watch?

The draw for the rounds are not made until all matches are completed.

I thinks its on SS1 on Friday and on SS2 on Saturday and Sunday.

You didn't quote him properly.

He quoted me fine. The Grand National is the most overated horse race of the year. I can understand why it's the one jockeys want most, and some may see it as a spectacle, but from a purist racing point of view, it's bull.

bull rubbish

Is fromsport the best place to watch if you dont have skysports?

What's that channel you see in pubs sometimes, that isn't Sky Sports but it still gets all the Premier League games? It's called something like Star Sports, and you'll be watching Man U vs Chelsea and all the adverts are in Greek.

It's called Nova Sport, I've researched it. Here's all the information you need.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova_Sports

Imagine if

Last 64 - opponent late, docked a frame, bye to next round
Last 32 - opponent forgot chalk, docked frame, bye to next round
Last 16 - Opponent uses all time-outs and is timed out, progress to next round
Q/F - Place opponent in devilish snooker who misses three times and loses frame, progress to next round
S/F - Drawn against Mark Allen who never gets to finals, progress to next round
Final - Play Ronnie, who asks on eight how much is on offer for a 147, misses next shot and concedes with 14 reds on the table

If only

Oh haha thanks SF, take it its not on my sky then! nevermind eh.. might go over granddads on sunday to watch..if its any good.

I'll give it a watch on Friday, then am away for the rest of the weekend.

What I will say though, the shot clock aspect keyed in with the 'a frame can't go longer then 10 minutes' idea pretty much spoils this event for me. The single frame aspect doesn't. I actually really enjoyed the Pot Black event they did a few years ago. Even if it was held in an odd location that looked like they were playing in a posh person's living room.

Snooker for me is interesting because it isn't shortened. Players encounter problems, and have to overcome them. Though the one-frame match doesn't give you the opportunity to see how somebody would react in the next frame, to having a frame stolen from them, but as an exhibition event, that's not really a problem for me. What is a problem, in shot clock events, is when a player finds themselves in a tough situation, only to try and rush a shot due to time constraints. The match becomes less about the intricate story telling that a snooker match can provide, and more about solely trying to pot balls. Spoils it a bit for me.

i think the 10 minute rule is potentially going to make frames or matches dull.

a player leading on 30 points after 7 minutes he has a tricky shot to nothing or snooker him......in a proper match the pot is value in this the safety come snooker is the value.

Hi SnookerFan nice to see you have entered the prediction contest for this one, but not sticking around for the results .
It is a bit of a lottery this one. I have no idea which players will thrive under these odd conditions, it might depend on who is prepared to take it seriously.

I cant believe the number of comments on this thread

A load are from you, mugger

Not as big a mug as those discussing the actual event and who will win wit

Hi SundayGirl. Somebody told me I should enter.

I thought I'd give one of the simpler ones a go, see how well I did. I thought somebody had better show you a think or two about snooker.
