Snooker is undoubtedly a really difficult skill to master, but by Christ it's boring to watch... I mean it's actually mind numbing...

I like snooker. Even the boring sessions can be a treat to snooze through. No different to test cricket in that regard. But then I can enjoy watching any sport...except baseball

I am guessing that is his natural - no hairdressers if you are observing lock down rules even in pro sports

Love watching snooker. When the top players are on it, especially O'Sullivan, Trump and Higgins, it's almost hypnotic. Some of the slower players are a difficult sell, but there's less of those these days - players tend to be much more attacking, which we have Hendry to thank for mainly.

Snooker Finished as a TV spectacle Last Century. No Matter how Steve "interesting" Davies John Parrot and The Scottish bint try to polish it up. Its Truly Awful !!!

The best thing about snooker is that little song that went something like this, " Snooker loopy nuts are we, we're all Snooker loopy, pot the reds in, screw back, for the yellow, green, brown, blue, pink & black, Snooker loopy nuts are we, we're all Snooker.......loopy " :D

I've spent thousands of hours playing snooker and achieved a fairly good standard but watching the professional game bores me to tears.

I'm normally one for tradition but can't help thinking the game seriously needs to rid itself of the stiff dress codes and introduce a shot clock.

Ronnie loses his 5th ranking final of the season, Robertson was brilliant though, 5 century breaks how do you compete with that.
