yes getting woken up for snooker not good but im sure theres somethings he might pull a sickie for

I wouldn't be waking him up for the snooker, but after the snooker was over. If I can stay awake that long anyway.
And then I wouldn't be ready for anything but sleep.

surely youd find the energy for an internet chatroom webcam session with Dennis Watts?

He might as well have a council tip outside his hotel window, cos we all know none of these players ever leave their hotel rooms

In this month’s issue of Snooker Scene we publish a letter of concern from a British ex-pat who lives in Brazil.

He believes the venue is too secluded and the ticket prices too high. Coupled with the lack of so many star names and the fear is the audience attendance will be low.

Gallant

Well we've all been saying that for weeks.

Saying what?

Sonny wrote:Saying what?

That it's in the wrong location, that tickets prices are too high and that there are too many big players missing. So crowd participation might not be high.

SnookerFan wrote:On the other hand, the execution of the tournament has been rubbish. The big names are lacking, ticket prices are expensive, it's in a venue that is difficult to get to, the best of sevens are a bit short considering we're trying to sell snooker. A tournament in a new country should capture the public's imagination, and they've made it very hard for themselves.

@snookerbacker1 Everyone to themselves, but trying promote snooker in different places doesn't help much when the top players are greedy!

gotta laugh, suddenly in the wake of his spat with Allen (IM TEAM ALLEN ALL THE WAY )

then he somehow finds form for the first time in 20 years and edges a final aainst bottle job Williams

and now being assured of being in the top 16

now hes suddenly seeing himself as some sort of top player and voice of the fans

hes that boring even randam doesnt like him

no witz

its great seeing a player thats 35 reaching the top for the first time condemning players for being greedy chameleons and at the other end Ben Harrison that relies on Top players today to give him a future agreing with him

Bingham is sound, that's obvious.

he should keep quiet and be happy that hes getting "to the top" thanks to all the big names players attitude

soon as they all start taking things seriously he will slide back down to his true position in the rankings

its like a turkey voting for Xmas

Witz hatah!

from binghams tweets it looks like a bloody mess lets be honest

theres no table there they even thinking of getting a table from the local club.

Brazil has made a butcher job of the event acording to gallant who should know better than us and it gets worst...they been obvious a bit clueless and WS has trusted them.....has someone told eurosport they might be broadcasting floor snooker with coconuts

but despite all that you have to say having players there ready to play is the important thing cant really compair it to barhain because that was Ranking on a par with China etc this tournament isnt its a promotional event that lets face it has 2 hasbeens and Ebdon who cant win for toffee so not very promotional friendly either.

table from a local club haha itll be an 8x4 then prob, Figuerido my fave to win this title now

matthew stevens wished he was playing wont need the rest that often

ive played on a 10x5 before and it was surprising how easier it was compared to a 12 x 6 so i reckon an 8x4 would be pretty simple. If i couldnt make a century on an 8x4 after a few hours practicing i think id give up lol

There was a 10 x 5ft at the club I played at in my teenage years and it was a great little table to play on.

as a kid i went to blackpool played in a club the full sise tables was all ocupied so i had about 2 frames on the 10x5 and the difference i found was massive so much easier it was unbelievable.

anyone got any idea on translating these ticket prices in to pounds ? http://www.brazilmasters.com.br/site/in ... =8&lang=en

BTW when i say kid i was actually about 21 or 22 but at 40 thats being a kid lol
