I prefer it that way.

You can't watch everything, obviously. We've all got lives/jobs/stuff to do.

But I'd rather there be the choice there to watch. Remember the bad old days, six a week?

I'm only very disappointed if he loses a Final or loses in a Triple Crown event. Also depends on the loss. That loss to Allen at The Masters didn't disappoint me given the season he'd already have. Would have been nice if he came to The Crucible with the chance of winning all 3 TC events, but he won the UK at least plus it's a ranker.

Yea that wasn't enough obviously. I agree wirh you, we all have lives to lead and other sports/interests/hobbies but when i turned on the tv couple weeks back and saw the Gibraltar Open was on i struggled to watch one frame with Mark King and knocked it off thereafter. It just seemed devoid of any atmosphere. It was too much.

Well that tournament was devoid of atmosphere, those PTC-alike tournaments always have been.

One of them won’t make it. You watch this space


Judd is way more likely not to make it.

I'd be very surprised if Ronnie loses to Ding later today.

I'd have dipped in and out if I had the time, but didn't.

I like there always being snooker on, even when I have to miss some.

I'm still gutted to be at work for thw afternoon sessions of this.
