Guinness 9 ball on sopcast NOW!

I don't agree with this stupid 40 second shot clock. It's cost them quite a few shots/safeties. This game is a thinking game.

I hate it as well.
Give them 60 seconds.

I forgot to mention that these commentators are terrible lol
Did they see that 4-ball was straight-in and Wang had no choice but draw it back?
The 3 ball before that was straight in as well.
:rolleyes:
Great out by Wang

Yeah the funny thing is the commentators are like "Why didn't he go 3 rails or just come back to the middle of the table"(on that 4 ball). Oh and he already used up all his 3 extentions by that last 8 ball, and the 1 commentator is like "Why doesn't he use his extention I would, he has 2 left". What a bunch of idiots!!!
 
As far as the shot clock goes, while it is indeed short, you have to remember that these matches are broadcast live over here in Asia, and that a couple of hill-hill (or close to it) matches can easily push the the schedule into overtime (sometimes by an hour)- the networks don't like that sort of thing as it screws up their timing when other live sports are set to be broadcast afterwards (I believe that four hours or so has already been alloted for today's matches- it's tough to ask for more).

I think one extension per game per player would be fair enough- three per match isn't enough if it goes the distance.

I agree .... wasn't that Antonio guy suppose to provide a "expert" commentary? I didnt hear any ...

And he was very unforgiving too.
Wang missing a blind side cut and long-straight in jacked-up shots weren't surprising to me. Jeesh, give the guy a break.
Orcollo hitting the 1-ball too thin ( combo to a hanging 3 ) with freakin inside spin was that dumb of a hit. Jeesh. He said it was the worst miss he saw .
 
I agree, ESPN Star commentary absolutely sucks and all of those guys should be fired!

Both of those guys are a bit over-critical when you know they can't make a ball between them...

But then again, ESPN Star Asia seems to be the refuge of British and American sports commentators who couldn't make it in their respective home countries..... The general standard for English language programming is pretty crap in Asia IMO...

My 2 cents.. :eek:
 
hope they show reruns....oh, and congrats to dennis! looks like the young guns of Philippine pool are picking up some of the slack from the heavyweights and stepping into their shoes seamlessly....
