mrD Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) it's crass to say the least to knock back ten grand when that's a shit load of money for most people. on the other hand the amount of money professional snooker players get in relation to other sports professionals is pitiful given the much higher skill and tactical level of snooker has vis a vis other sports. Obviously it's not relative skill levels within and between sports that determines what money can be earned by a professional. it would be good however to see snooker get the respect it deserves in relation to other sports.

mrD Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 next question would be where people stand on the osullivan / hendry debate ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowenBoys Posted February 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Perhaps the next question should be; Is snooker a sport or a game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) Perhaps the next question should be; Is snooker a sport or a game? Good question. I think the "motor skill" part comes into whether it should be considered a sport. Players need to control their movements, breathing, posture, eye-hand coordination, etc. They don't need to do that in dominoes, chess, or poker (though some might try to claim otherwise), for example. So for me, it's a sport, in the same way as darts, archery, or pistol shooting. But, the real difficult one is....... tiddlywinks.

crazy davie Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 What about winding up h*ns? That seems like a game AND a sport... hahahahhaahhaha I'm so funny.!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingerjag Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 next question would be where people stand on the osullivan / hendry debate ? Loved Hendry. Used to hate O'Sullivan but have since grown to love him and he's undoubtedly the greatest ever. Now he's almost 40 years old and seems to settled down off the table, he looks to be playing the best snooker of his life and streets ahead of anyone else. I predict the Rocket to win his 6th worlds in April! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingerjag Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Oh well....Just won £22 on Hawkins beating O'Sulliavn. Hendry's getting better every year Ronnie doesn't win it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
