I definitely am not saying that is matter of life and death, just that sport is still serious and important at the highest level, to me my 7-side kickabout is just a game, but I feel the top-level of represents something more than being a mere game, I know I will be in a small minority on this, but I have heard quality journalists say something similar.jamie brannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668254365608375328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-50623476484190790822010-09-23T15:11:24.253+01:002010-09-23T15:11:24.253+01:00It's only a game compared to someone having ca...It's only a game compared to someone having cancer you silly boyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-7080330329520287302010-09-23T14:56:02.287+01:002010-09-23T14:56:02.287+01:00For me, the first frame in a best-of-five is of pa...For me, the first frame in a best-of-five is of paramount importance, the fact the top players are winning the majority of them is why this format has not been a lottery.
