Michaela Tabb

Fast Eddies.Clyde Street.Glasgow.

So who is Ross Mcinnes?

When I was a young kid me and my mate Harry Allen would go to Fast Eddies,money permiting,at the weekends.So Ross ran Fast Eddies pool hall and Martin Shades ran the 8 Ball club at Anderston bus station.Ross and Martin would play pool for high money stakes in those days at Fast Eddies and I would drool at the side bets.How Ross never made it big time I will never know but that was in the early 1980's.
 
Groan. I'm predicting Dennis Taylor will say "she makes very few mistakes, does our Michaela" 346 times during the championships, whilst referring to the player's nationality 8,187 times a minute for the entire 17 days.
 
I've played Ross when he did an exhibition at my local somewhere around '93. Real nice bloke but i'd rather play with his missus anyday.:smile:


Think i was the only member of our team that did not beat him, and that was because i rattled what was an easy black. At the time he held the world title for speedball (or whatever it was called where the object is to clear the table of all the balls against the clock.) I remember him praising us as in about 20 frames following an exhibition normally he lost but one or two, and we were only a mid table side that took 12 or more frames off him.

Twenty minutes in and Taylor's pissing me off already.

10.02am "the Chinese sensation" - Liang, this time.
10.15am - "Makes very few mistakes, does Michaela".
10.20am - First mention of a "heavy contact".

If you don't like the commentary, you could plug your ears, or failing that, shoot yourself in the head. He's a snooker legend and a genuine person by all accounts. Who cares if he has a tendency to repeat himself?

There are people I'd rather listen to also, but he's not bad at all.

I think he's the best pure pundit there is, but the man can't seem to shut up for a second. Snooker simply doesn't need incessant yapping. Constantly going on about where a player's from, or what their nickname is, or how lovely their parents are, or who he's had dinner with, or how super and smashing everything is, is tiresome in the extreme.

You expect an Irishman to shut up????
You certainly have a lot of unrealistic expectations of that ethnic group.
