I don't know why you have trouble....I have the regular ITV commentators on StopStream, Clive Everton and Neal Foulds. Check all your settings because something isn't right.

An actual snooker player posting (matter-of-fact-ly, I might add) on a snooker related thread? What a curious concept!

It is so nice to see someone taking the time and making the effort to do the research necessary to learn The Game proper. Thank you! for your interest in this wonderful pastime. And I hope you can promote it among friends and playing partners. In looking at some of your other posts, I assume...

It is noble to attempt to play the game properly using the same rules as the professional game. However, you must understand that the professional game is different than the amateur and therefore, specific rules may also be applied differently. That should definitely be the case for FAAM. I...

This!!! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Surely, many reading this thread are asking, "Why does this ayy-whole keep bringing up snooker?" and the answer is that a pool player (who presumably watches snooker on occasion) innocently and erroneously brought up several snooker incidents which he believed to be similar to the...

Heresy! Burn the witch! But seriously, nobody is penalizing anybody for being colorblind. I have played several colorblind players in the past and there have been a few instances in friendly social games where of course, I corrected his stroke if he was lined up on the wrong ball. But...

Sorry to join this party so late and uninvited to boot, but I am urged to do so in defense of the Rules of Snooker which are so frequently misunderstood. (PT, I am surprised at you!) I won't even begin to try to understand the myriad rules of the myriad games of Pool, but as far as Snooker...

Ahhh, so you know the game well and wish to improve knowledge of the Rules. You have a perfect resource available that you should take advantage of. Your fellow countryman (you are Canadian I assume), professional referee Jim Jack, maintains a fantastic website for EXACTLY this purpose. You...

I don't know if you are relatively new to the game or have been playing quite a long time so please don't be offended by what I say here. If you are new, you should get yourself very familiar with the BASIC game before you worry about some of the more complex rules such as Free Ball. If it is...

Rest in peace, Mr. Byrne. Your books were my first introduction to the cue sports proper and remain a regular source of inspiration and reference for me thirty years on.

HI Mike, I don't check in too often so I just saw this. I figured you would already know Jerimy Chambers, the absolute best. Recommend him to anyone in the Midwest for pool or snooker needs. (708) 574-9888

It was more like about ten minutes, but that is probably because it was Ronnie and Trump. Anyone else probably would have taken a half hour to conclude that series of shots. You can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ta-efCUeNmw In that sort of situation, the players often would ask...

I would like to add to my post above, Bob, to prove the point that you are in fact correct. Let's say that, as in the video, the players look at each other and say, "Re-rack?", "Yeah, re-rack..." and they totally ignore the referee who is standing a distance away. Then one of them (doesn't...

Not a veteran ref, but a longtime student of the Rules. In my opinion, you are technically correct; nothing can happen on the Snooker table without approval of the Referee. Personally, I think the rule you are looking for is what I call the "Referee is all powerful rule". It is Section 5., 1...

7forlife, I think the naysayers are clueless as to how this system actually works. I think it is a great technology in its infancy and will continue to improve over time. Go ahead and buy it. You can be the only pool player in the world with this device and it will work just fine for you. The...

And considering the position of that garter, the cloth is probably about as stained as a blue dress. :D

Wedding photography. The groom is in the white tie. http://www.brianmullinsphotography.com/barclay-villa.html Probably not a one of them has ever played a game of snooker and could not anyway on this table with the standard set of pool balls available.

I have been using Triumph from Tweeten for 30 years now. No one seems to have heard of it. Same feel every tip, every time, no need to experiment. Then again, I tip my cue every month or two so if you like the same tip for years on end, this probably is not the one. P.S. - When I tip for others...

Barry Hearn is an astute fellow, not a miracle worker. He can read a market like a fine novel, but he cannot create a market where one refuses to exist. If you are ever near Chicago, stop in.
