Old players commentating
Is it just me that gets seriously annoyed with commentators like Virgo?
It seems to me that they just don't see the attacking shots that today's players do. (When I say see I mean before they play them) Virgo particularly annoys me when he goes into great detail about the "only shot on" being a straight forward safety when it is obvious that there are pots available. His (and other ex players) main problem seems to be pots to middle pockets, it is almost as if he thinks the only time the middle bags should be used is to pot the blue.
Anyway, mini rant over. I'm not as into my snooks these days as I used to be but would be interested to read what those more informed than me think.
