I thought I'd replied to this already. Have I accidentally filled out a report form?

I remember watching a tournament a few months ago. There was a match between two of the fattest people I've seen. Ben Davies and Craig Marsh.

I don't know who was playing, but one guy certainly hadn't missed many meals.

It was the version of pool you play in a pub. Is that 8-ball? Talking of pubs though, this seemed to being played in some kind of pub. In the background was a dartboard and a games machine. The crowd, if you can call it that, was just a few people sat by the table who were drinking pints of Fosters.

I only watched about five minutes. But apparently it's on FreeSport every week. So I'm guessing every Monday. It didn't look super worth watching.

FreeSports show Major League Wrestling:Fusion which is near enough the only wrestling I watch now.

Yeah, I've seen that advertised. Not bothered to watch it.

They occasionally have boxing on it too, which I've watched a few times. I don't know if it's coincidence, but every time I've watched boxing on there, the fights have all been complete mismatches. Small hall shows that are televised are often boxers trying to take their big televised chance, and you get decent fights out of it especially in the main event. Maybe it's just been the ones I've seen that are a bit duff.

Freesports is the most low-rent channel ever. I can't hear the commentary over the sound of the crowd.

The Shoot-Out used to be better when it had walk on girls and wasn't a ranking event. Good times.

Also, every time I see the title of this I keep thinking it says 'I'm watching Porn'. Anyone else have that problem?

As if I'm going to create a thread about my porn watching habits...


Well, technically Ace did.

RIP Ace. I'm hoping one day someone else will completely lose their rubbish, and there will be another Pornpocalypse. My money is on Wildey.

That's not sexist, being against women entering or attempting to qualify for those events with Walk On Girls is, which I have no problem with

Yeah, as long as they don't walk on any feet with those stilettos, there shouldn't be any problems.

I was kind of being tounge-in-cheek. I have no problem with them being there. It's not like they're being forced to do it.

Though I not going to lose my rubbish about them not being there. They're literally people who walk around and pose. They don't really add anything to the experience.

Freesport seems to be gone from all services in the ROI, so no Snooker Seniors for me :-( (unless the matches are live streamed on Youtube)

It's proper pool. I was expecting fat blokes in the pub.

Watching it on Freesports now too, are pool players giants? They make the table look really small.

I've turned off.

I think that's the camera angle.
