    I've had spells were i thought Virgo, Thorne, Taylor, Joe Johsnon etc are the worst commentators ever, but i've been stuck listending to Mike Hallet for the past couple of days on Eurosport.....and it's not even close.

    He is literally the most clueless person i have even listened to. The amount of errors he makes is off the scale.

    'This plant's not on. Or is it? Nope. Yes it is, good shot.'
    'He didn't leave anything. Well, nothing easy. Apart from one to the centre and one to the corner'
    'He just needs to pink, so won't need the tricky black' - Yes he does Mike
    'Good shot if it slows down. Yep good shot' - No Mike, it was a fkin awful shot
    'Could be a snooker here' - Finishes 3 foot away from being a snooker Mike
    'Where's the cueball going!' - About 2 foot away from the pocket Mike
    'Could be a rerack here' - No Mike, he has a 30 point lead
    'He hasn't come back far enough, or has he.' - Of course he did, it's not even close Mike
    'This red is going to be on' - What? On the fkin cushion Mike

      If all else fails, i think this bet is fairly safe. We're on 79 centuries. Should have went bigger

      ...What odds was this out of curiosity?...They will get close to a century of centuries...

        Never forgiven him losing a 9 1 lead to Hendry lo lose 10 9 . Had the money spent and all

            Good commentators:

            Foulds, Hendon, Hendry, McManus....also kind of like Dale.

            The rest are awful.

              I agree. And although Joe Johnson is bad I like him and enjoy listening to him as he has levity along with a calming voice like hes commentating on a carp fishing programme. The only one I cant listen to is Virgo so im usually watching on Eurosport.
              Like Dale too, lot of feeling in his commentary. ''Oh dear''.....'

                Ronnie is in the commentary box on Eurosport for tonight's session btw.

                Shaun Murphy was doing some earlier in the week and was pretty decent too.

                  Selby eas on early in the week and thought he was good to. Needs a bit of direction, talking in the shot occasionally etc but he added something new.
                  Too many good commentators and I think it be a good time to clear out Virgo, Taylor etc but its not as if bbc have much snooker anymore.

                    Had Murphy in my ear for 3 of the sessions I was at. Not a fan. Comes across very false with his 'our game' shtick.

                      Joe Johnson got binned after 2 frames, and Ronnie was in for the start of this one.

                        Get in Higgins. Wouldnt have predicted 14 all when it was 10-6. Gilbert still knocking in some savage pots but maybe nerves just kicking in a little for him

                          Idgaf, I've only got a tenner on. Would be nice to have something to cheer while watching the final if he gets there. If he wins it, it's just a bonus.

                            Your listening to too much post game gaa interviews.

                              Lol, if I'd more than a tenner on it might matter more

                                What's the Frankel reference to Judd btw? I dont get it.

                                    Joe Johnson. Made a lot of dodgy calls today.

                                      He meant it was in a great place to hit it to play a snooker, once he pot the pink, and he was right. It was in the perfect place, just got unlucky with the double kiss

                                        It's Joe Johnson and Dave Hendon (mis)calling the shots on ES

                                          Balls. Of. Steel. Get in!! Best value I've ever had gambling a tenner. Pints and snooker tomorrow. Hangover and snooker Monday.

                                              Trump will shit the bed against him in the final if he gets there. He's Jimmy White mark 2

                                                ...Absolutely quality semi final that was...Both players crying after that... And next year Higgins could make massive history, be the only player to win the world championship in 4 different decades...

                                                  Nobody will be kicking them self more than Marcel Eckardt after that match. Dropping the ball marker and hitting a red with it. He kept a brave face but there will be a lot of self flagellation after that one.

                                                    If Higgins wins will someone make sure to get a video of Finkles head exploding

                                                      Also I have a soft spot for Phil Yates style of commentary. Foulds and McManus are the beat

                                                                  Comment

                                                                    Comment

We've already had 4 so need 5 more to get the overs is very possible imo. Had a nibble off it anyway.

                                                                      Comment

                                                                                            Just need 1 more century for my over 8.5 match centuries bet to come in. Would be a nice consolation since it doesn't look like Higgins is gonna win.

We've already had 4 so need 5 more to get the overs is very possible imo. Had a nibble off it anyway.
