@chewytapeworm hahaha yeah I meant Rory McLeod, he's from Wellingborough. Good for you mate, I hope you get there. The ref is well respected in snooker. It would be a great gig at the top level. Hong Kong is the only glamorous away fixture though.

I like the Chinese players, but I heard Ronnie say they're a bit too nice, good potters but they don't have any real hustle, he's got a point. I put a tenner on Ding to win the world championship about 4 years ago, Selby knocked him out in the semis. Once China has its first World champion, it'll go cosmic over there. I like Ding and Yan Bingtao, lovely fellas.

@chewytapeworm aw mate I'd love that. Just life going back to normal, having my regular game against old Ray, I'll enjoy it so much. I'm in North Dorset, only one club in my town, I used to have better clubs at hand when I lived in Northamptonshire. Kyren Wilson, Peter Ebdon, Antony McLeod, and Shaun Murphy (no relation) all come from that area. Kyren Wilson came through at the club I used to play at in Kettering, he's a bit younger than me though, I don't really know him.

@BulbasaurusRex well there you go, I fully admit I demonstrated I don't understand basketball much, that's the view of an uninformed outsider.
Snooker is generally a nice relaxing watch, a gently paced game of tactics and angles. I'm a bit more involved than most fans, I play at my local club, played in amateur competitions, been to several world ranking events as a spectator. I enjoy football, rugby and MMA too, but I like having something a bit more gentle now and then. When my daughter was a baby, it used to hypnotise her, the colours moving around, which was handy 😁👍.

@TheLightSpirit yeah absolutely. I love football, but one iteration per console generation is enough for me. I only just got round to getting fifa, so I got 20, that'll do me for 5 years now. It's a shame there isn't more competition in football games, I'd love to have 10 different titles to choose from.

@Pigeon tbf, that looks brilliant 👍

@BulbasaurusRex it's hard to explain if you don't grow up with a certain sport in your culture. I don't get the appeal of baseball or American football. Even basketball, a sport very closely entwined with hip hop (which I love). Basketball is a sport I'd like to like, it's super cool and has amazing stylish merchandise, but I watch a game and lose interest after 5 minutes. You go down my end and score, I'll go down your end and score, we'll do that for an hour, whoever scores last wins yeah? Hmmm no thanks mate

@oatmaster Ronnie O' Sullivan is a terrible sportsman. Absolute genius at the table, perhaps the most gifted player of all time. But he's a bad loser, tries to intimidate people, sometimes gets disheartened and quits easily, and openly admits he doesn't care about the game. I don't know why he has so many fans when he has such indifference in return. I genuinely love to see him lose and get knocked out of tournaments.

Not for me thanks. It's cool that it didn't disappoint fans though.
