pathetic deicsion to have her as presenter


Do ITV have any snooker experts? There's that Matt Smith guy, or whatever his name is. That's about it.

I'll give her the benefit of the doubt, until I see what she's like as a presenter.

ive checked and answer to that is no


Oh well, I'll get some taped.

That's bad news, isn't it? I'll be off line a lot of the tournament, so I don't get the results spoiled for me.

yup it is tough not to see Judd reaching the Semi Finals TBH.

The Carter match was not televised so it makes no difference to what they show.
