It's improving slowly in the UK but the focus is still too much on the old Master's like Davis, Parrott and White. They , great though they were are part of snooker history now and the press need to realise that there is new and exciting talent apart from Ronnie and co. Maybe thenwe will see some progress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-21794999562493076072008-07-14T09:45:00.000+01:002008-07-14T09:45:00.000+01:00I feel sure there would be sponsors lining up to f...I feel sure there would be sponsors lining up to fund a ranking tournament out there in Europe. The money would be there, the TV would be there via Eurosport, players would be overjoyed at another earning opportunity - all World Snooker have to do is pull their finger out and make it happen. The World Series effectively has been a feasibility study carried out for nothing on their behalf - they should now embrace this opportunity to enhance the snooker season with another ranking tournamentAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-57887088039158721562008-07-14T07:08:00.000+01:002008-07-14T07:08:00.000+01:00Yes Dave all good comments and The BBC awaits I th...Yes Dave all good comments and The BBC awaits I think for you in the future but I have one small criticism lol. You said Shaun Murphy played well against Stephen Maguire and he did , for the final two frames, the rest of it was pretty dire stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-62930664626971576062008-07-13T21:41:00.000+01:002008-07-13T21:41:00.000+01:00Reckon it would be a good idea to put these 2 day ...Reckon it would be a good idea to put these 2 day tournaments on during the week as Snooker cannot compete with the Eurosport weekend schedule. The channel has put Snooker well down the pecking order with other sports and really to say Eurosport were the host broadcasters the coverage was just awful(as usual). No semi final and just half a final, I mean,come on. It would have been better to show the whole event in full in highlight packages at a later date. For years now I have found myself watching crap sport(on Eurosport) whilst waiting for the advertised snooker to come on.<BR/><BR/>Nick B<BR/><BR/>PS Great commentary though, Dave. Don't think it will be long before u get the call from the BBC.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
