It feels that we are now talking about on-the-table things a lot more.<br /><br />Although it was perfectly understandable that the magazine talked about all the wrongdoing of the previous regimes.jamie brannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668254365608375328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-83447715702297216972011-07-16T13:40:16.383+01:002011-07-16T13:40:16.383+01:00Didn't Matthew Syed once present snooker cover...Didn't Matthew Syed once present snooker coverage on EuroSport?<br /><br />This knocking off perch stuff is silly. The BBC should keep the majors to give the sport the large exposure. EuroSport do the rest of it, apart from Sky's two events. It's an ideal situation for now. <br /><br />However, do feel that with now Autmn BBC event free to air viewers need another event to punctuate the long gap between the World and UK Championships. <br /><br />If the points system had been like I said would it have altered the composition of the last eight?jamie brannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668254365608375328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-49299847232921588142011-07-16T11:46:09.948+01:002011-07-16T11:46:09.948+01:00ronnie has pulled outronnie has pulled outAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-6639492786065702902011-07-16T11:32:16.114+01:002011-07-16T11:32:16.114+01:00Now Ronnie has drawn out.

This would avoid the scenario where a team could win all their matches and go out.<br /><br />It would be nice to see some analysis though. Surely Mike Smith would be better at presenting than commentating. He has the voice and personality and could interview players and experts after matches.<br /><br />It would give the programme a bit more of an organised feel about it instead of a constant stream of matches. Im not bad mouthing Eurosport. Im thrilled to have access to so much snooker over the season, but a couple of minor tweaks is all they need to knock the Beeb off their perch. For all Mike's faults, he is streets ahead of repetitive Hazel.kildare cuemannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-33737838185472032832011-07-15T19:56:21.521+01:002011-07-15T19:56:21.521+01:00The World Snooze more like zzzzThe World Snooze more like zzzzAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-60043663991944819122011-07-15T18:45:12.443+01:002011-07-15T18:45:12.443+01:00I agree 5.27.
