Funny, I’d say he’s the polar opposite of Yates in all the wrong ways.

Yates has an encyclopaedic knowledge of snooker; Studd doesn’t and any stats he mentions are clearly being read off a piece of paper

Yates tries constantly to dress up average sentences with flowery language and overly enthusiastic delivery; Studd speaks almost entirely in tired cliches and sounds barely interested in what’s happening

Much worse, Yates can be annoying but his knowledge of the game is greater than most commentators, the way he commentates on them can be annoying.

Studd? He's just bad.

Higgins 2-1 up
Higgin' son Andrew is 0-2 down

Yates, for all I've sad about him, knows the game well. You could argue he's not a bad commentator but a very, very annoying one.

Is there a difference?

Sorry, what I meant is his level of annoyance, not that he's like Phil Yates, just that he's also very annoying

Studd without a doubt is the worst. He pretty much knows nothing about the game. Thats why he never talks about the actual play on the table or technical side of a shot.

Sounds like a typical poster on snooker island

Yeah I meant he is up there on my most hated list of commentators, he just spouts and spouts and spouts constant drivel and his timing is appalling and yeah, he's lacking so much knowledge it's unreal.

That’s why I rate Foulds so highly. He gets the point across in technical terms without it feeling like hard work. No BS, no puns. Occasionally very witty, but not for the sake of it.

There’s definitely a difference because Dennis is both.

Ben Hancorn getting a right cobbing from Jak Jones

Trump's living on borrowed time this week lol

3-1 to Holt :( Judd is going to have to do things the hard way yet again! Big ask to be able to do that 3 days in a row.

if anyone can, Judd can't

The Juddernaut has got a flat tyre.

Dennis is a bad commentator. I say this because he is lazy; doesn’t bother to research players he hasn’t seen before (which turns out to be about 1 in three players), and relies on stock phrases and anecdotes to fiddle his way through a shift. That is bad commentary, any way you look at it.

3-2 barring snookers. Has Holty missed a trick?

Hoping that missed pink is going to haunt Michael Holt.

No, he missed a pink.

Perhaps it was a tricky pink...?

Ffs massive fluke from Holt

Juddernaut88 wrote:Ffs massive fluke from Holt

He made 12 from it. Classic Holt.

Holt looking like the third player to let Judd off the hook at the moment.

anyone brave enough to beat trump this week?

Only 1 Snooker to tie though so I'm still a bit worried.

Holt playing on for snookers. Which is immeasurably more difficult than the pink he missed.

Holt fouls and concedes so it is 3-3.
