Post by Ace » Tue Feb 03, 2004 12:38 pm

So I just got eurosport and im buzzing because the snookers on at the moment, I have been missing the snooker the past couple of years.

Only problem: the finnish commentator :lol: In Britain snooker commentary is done in whispers, this clowns commentating like its formula 1 or something ;-)

It really changes the viewing experience, im used to watching snooker in a coma like state :lol:

I don't know if your TV will support it but there's two audio channels on Eurosport. There's always the choice of Swedish or the mute button. Maybe it's time to start watching snooker with a few beers and a pizza. ;)

Actually... I think it's more a matter of will your remote support that.
You should have a button I-II on your remote for it to work...

That O'Sullivan chappy gives me the creeps. I can't watch him...he reminds me of a mass murderer or something <shudder> :shock:

I wanted to come along but my Finnish friends were having a sledging, snooker and drinking day for a birthday celebration and I was obliged to hang out with them. The sledging at Myyrmäki was great excellent.

Howard seems to be getting a little jittery these days too.......it's an interesting time for him :)

I guess the champions league will be out of Charlton's reach, but the UEFA cup places will be wide open, you're as good as any of the other teams that are going for it.

Joe and his Brother Fred..and I think it was Ted Pulman in the 1960s were responsible for the transformation of the game into what we see today..
As you say WLM real they were real gents...I remember Joe and Fred playing and exhibition match in a Britsh Legion Club (do they still exist?) to raise money for some charity.
There were over 200 guys watching for over and hour and the only noise was the clunk of balls.

Why? It was the 89th minute not the 98th this time ;-) Saha's looking good 8)

Cracking snooker game on euro sport last night BTW, creepy O Sullivan steaming ahead only to bottle it Arsenal style at the end and young Hunter to steal it. Quality Masters snooker 8)
