Thank you for the link. I'm glad Pat has started putting those great old matches on youtube. It's a very good match but Grady's complaining about bad rolls etc. all the time does not make him look good. I like their other match from SRO XII (December 1990) which also has a voice-over review by...

Some even called him Cesar or Caesar, even. Go figure [emoji848] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s really hard to believe that the OP’s judgement could be so impaired as to spew out this racist nonsense in the first place and then think this will come out good for him if made public. Tim, I admire your patience and poise, man! I would have told him to go whistle five lines into that...

I took it to understand as a colourful ie expert commentator, not a person of colour, which may or may not be what the OP has intended this thread for. At least, I haven’t seen any objections from the OP that this thread has headed in the wrong direction. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did think Darren but you are right, he’s from Yorkshire. I knew he was from up north. Let’s call it a senior moment Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Marvin won the one-pocket division at Stardust in 1968 and came in 4th in 9-ball the year before. “Cannonball Lefty” Chapman was another great player and a class guy to boot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m surprised no one mentioned Leonard “Bugs” Rucker and Glenn “Piggy Banks” Rogers - two top bankers of their time Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This could be the guy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think HawaiianEye meant James "Texas Blood" Brown. I will dig out Freddy’s Encyclopaedia and post up a pic. There was also a little story relayed by Freddy about him Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I second Darren Appleton! He’s amazing. It may take you guys a little while to tune in to his Scottish accent but that’s an easy hurdle to overcome, imho. Imran Majid is also a very good commentator. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Accu-Stats have a DVD of the Medina-Varner match from Sands (1998?), with Efren and Jerry McWorter doing the commentary. Efren’s accent is pretty much incomprehensible to me. His command of English and pronunciation may have improved since then but somehow I doubt that. Sent from my iPhone...

I remember Jay commentating Earl’s match at the World Pool Championship in Cardiff (1999 or thereabouts) and calling Earl an embarrassment to America and a disgrace to pool for his poor sportsmanship in that match. All of that was broadcast on BBC and Earl got quite upset about it. I don’t...

Thanks for the update. Stalev was (and maybe still is) a force to reckon with. What I remember is that he had a very powerful break (probably on par with Larry Nevel of old). Scratch pool was his best game (this is where you score points by scratching the cue ball off an object ball), probably a...

Same here Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Subscribed, thanks for the effort! Sadly, there are no Russian pool tables in London. Russian pool is an extremely difficult and frustrating game. The corner pockets are only 1/6” wider [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33]than the diameter of the balls. It’s just crazy! Does Stalev still play pool...

I’m not sure a credit card backup works. It normally doesn’t here across the pond. To avail yourself of what we call the Section 75 protection, there has to be a direct creditor-customer-supplier relationship. Paying via an agency is specifically excluded. Paypal is not a supplier but a payment...

In a different match Ronnie also asked the ref what the prize was for a maximum. Having been told that there was no additional money (other than the prize for the highest break in that tournament), he intentionally potted the pink in the middle of his run for a total break of 146. Barry Hearn...

I have found the Ponzi book in my archive if you need it https://drive.google.com/open?id=1QvMEsxEg6wQcPoqsQYmsTkix7G2GYRXW

Anger turned to humour. That is heartening. Just grow some thicker skin and you’ll be fine! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
