Really? Higgins has 'never played better than he has these past few months?'
He's playing well, but that is nonsense from ES.

I'm drinking some Co-Op imported Czech lager. It's not that great, to be fair.

Eurosport is as bad as the BBC is. But it gets a pass because there's a certain chap in the studio with an army of fans. Hallett, Hendon and Yates are abysmal.

Yesterday he did not play extremely well otherwise I think it would have made 6-0 against ronnie.
It's ronnie who was not up to it yesterday.
Today I put trump and fu to access the final.

Eurosport get a pass because they try. They cover pretty much every snooker tournament, take the time to at least know who every player is and don't pretend their tournaments are more important than ones not on their channel.
Eurosport have never been perfect. The BBC are more polished than Eurosport. But what's the point in being polished, if you treat the sport like rubbish?
It's nothing to do with Ronnie being in the studio.

Lol, absolutely ridiculous how that black and the following red went in. Especially the red at that pace. Hits the near jaw at speed and still goes in.

Trump potted the blue but what happened to the white ball? It hardly bounced from the black cushion and left a horrible shot on the pink.
Something very wrong with these tables.

You do realize that the BBC is a national broadcaster while Eurosport is a SPORT dedicated channel, do you? Have the thought that your fellow Brits might not be interested watching snooker all day like you do ever crossed your mind? And PAY for it. Let's bash the BBC for not showing 8 hours of snooker every day. As for the fact they pretend their tournaments are more important, you should be blaming the players who are the first to admit that. But what do they know?

This is true but a different kind of discussion. My comment was strictly about the commentary on Eurosport and not their general concept on the game. And their commentary has nothing to envy from the BBC. In a bad way.
