Foulds is clearly shocked by the stupidity of what came out of Yates’ mouth.

Love him or hate him Phil Yates does have knowledge even if it is very pointless at times.

I don’t hate him. I’d find it impossible to hate somebody so helplessly out of tune.

He does, and I agree with Prop - difficult to dislike someone who clearly is so in love with the sport.
Got to be said, though, the ability to count the number of letters in a surname is not something to write home about.

a) You don’t know that.
b) Even if we couldn’t do better, that doesn’t mean he’s not rubbish.
I suppose you’ve never criticised any snooker player?

Being keyboard warriors on a snooker forum doesn't mean you've got the abilities to commentate and make it interesting for the viewers to listen to you.
I can tell you right now you would certainly be fired LOL

SnookerFan and Phil Yates would make a great commentary duo in my opinion.

“Well!
Snookerfan, I’m sure you’ll agree... sometimes you’ll come across a good pot that you’ll think, ‘Well, it was good but I could possibly have potted that.’
But that virtuoso demonstration of
supremo potting from the 2019
World Champion was nothing short of...

EXTRAORDINARY!!”

Wasn't really about keyboards, What's better, a great commentator who could pick up snooker and do a good job, or a poor commentator with snooker knowledge who does a poor job?

We're criticising people in context. If I say a player makes a poor shot, I mean by the standard a of a professional player. I don't mean I could play better than them.
Same with commentators. We're allowed not to like them.
By your logic, we should like all television personalities without exception.

Could you do a better job?
Would anybody have wanted to watch SnookerEd25's House Party in the early 1990s? If you presented Deal Or No Deal, would you have been able to do it without stuttering in front of camera?
That being the case, you have no right to dislike him as a television personality.

Never tried, so I can neither confirm nor deny whether I would have done a better job on either of those programmes.
I would have done a more clean-shaven job, thats all I can promise.

No, I could not have done a better job than the actor employed to portray that role.
I thought he was marvellous, darling.

To be fair to Yates, though I might "occasionally" criticise him, he does know a lot about the game. More than some commentators do.
He's just annoying.

Another one:
"Some electric fans have been admited in the arena"
Then he said those fans came to cool down the temperature a little bit. Doherty was besumed
