The latest Snooker Scene podcast features top referee Jan Verhaas answering your rules queries.
It was cut short as Jan had to go off and referee so at the end you can hear my views on the players who have qualified for the Crucible.
You can listen to the podcast here.
thanks Davie
ReplyDeleteIs it true that Jan Verhaas is seven feet tall? I heard this via someone who met him recently.
ReplyDeleteI think Jan Verhaas is 6'6"
ReplyDeleteid say he is about 6'2" going by the times ive met him, though you dont measure someone as you speak, so i could be a bit out
ReplyDeleteNice to hear from Yan, one of the best refs at the moment. I think Yan is 6'5'' because Dennis Taylor said he was
ReplyDeleteDennis Taylor makes mistakes just like everyone else...and i am not talking about his big glasses fashion mistake
ReplyDeleteYeah, Dennis Taylor once said Steve Davis was 6'3'' but it seemed like he was over exaggerating.
ReplyDeleteA few years back but it does say 6'6" http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_sports/snooker/4957976.stm
ReplyDeleteGreat podcast. I wouldn't mind hearing from Jan again.
ReplyDeleteAt the end, could you have him say "Thank you. Final question of this session, Dave Hendon to ask".?
Dave does mention Claus the interview was cut short cause jan had to go to referee.
ReplyDelete1:06am anon, im sure it was a little play on words attempt at a joke by Santa, but it obviously wasnt very amusing....;)
ReplyDeleteHi, on podcast 5 did you anwser all the question sent in as mine was not anwsered?
ReplyDeleteJamie - what was your question, it may have slipped through the net?
ReplyDeleteI asked do you think Ronnie O'Sullivan's best standard is better than that of Stephen Hendry? You may think there is someone else who has played to a higher standard but surely it has got to be one of these two.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, we got just after we recorded the podcast
ReplyDeleteMy reply would be what Clive said in the first podcast: Ronnie hasn't done anything more than Stephen, he's just done it in more style
If they both played to their best neither would miss and therefore the match would be impossible to call
I thought you would say Stephen as I thought you had said that before. It is a tough one to get off the fence but i actually think Ronnie's safety strangely enough might give him the edge but Hendry is still the greatest in terms of acheivement. It will be intresting to get others views on this?
ReplyDeleteit would be but this bit is about the Jan interview.....
ReplyDeletewell dave didnt seem to mind anwsering so i cant see the problem
ReplyDeletei never said there was a problem (for you to see)
