World Pool Masters Doesn't Seem to be on ESPN3
- Thread starter dnschmidt
- Start date
I like Alex Lely, but he has no business playing in this event. Neither does Earl for that matter. This is pretty much a European Open with Shane, Dennis and Alex thrown into the mix. Too bad they couldn't get any of the other top Asian players on board. Have no idea what happened to Wu at the last minute. Visa issues should have been handled far in advance. Definitely not one of the strongest fields this event has had in past years.
This event was billed as all past winners and Alex Lely won it in the past as has Earl.
They had severe storms for a few days in Gibraltar and many flights were cancelled and i think WU had trouble getting a flight not visa issues.
IMO, the biggest news here is no ESPN3 coverage. That seems like a huge hit to me!
I think that was just a matchroom decision since it is broadcast around the world on live tv in many countries but not in the States.
Matchroom prolly thought a facebook live istream is a better option than having to pay to have it on ESPN 3 .
aaahh, matchroom, recognizable graphics and gambling is the sponsor

I've seen where matchroom reaches out to all to pick up their games
don't make cents...
...glue sales should change all this.

Earl just gave one of the greatest post-match interviews ever. He's ahead 6-4, has the balls wide open, dogs the five, Darren makes a kick shot and an even harder long rail shot, finishes the rack, breaks and runs a three-pack while Earl sits in his chair, and all Earl can say is how "lucky" Appleton was!
You can't make this up. Don't ever change, Earl.

The dogged 5-ball was in Game 10. In Game 11 Appleton made 3 balls on the break but missed the 2-ball. Strickland apparently tried to bank it cross side but scratched. That was his last shot. Kudos to Appleton for the 3-pack to end it. No one else had more than a single to that point.
Cheap!
Stream sucks. At least they learned from yesterday and did a re-boot.
I hammered them about that.
Some of yesterday's matches are up on You Tube.
Why do you hate American players so much? Your contempt for them is always obvious in your posts and the way you commentate at the Mosconi
I watched the Niels and Raj match and their lag didn't even get to the first diamond from the rail. That can't be real simonis. Or the installer put it upside down.
I wish they stayed with diamond tables and standard pockets.
Thanks. ...
It was classic earl lol did Appleton get a few rolls . Sure . Thats 9 ball but he also ran out whenever he had the chance. That aint luck .
I heard SVB played lights-out....
