The Peter Ebdon method of commentating...

whats that slow and boring,very exciting inovation in the snooker this year letting black people play ,1st time ive seen that on tv

A bit like swimming. Oft wondered why there is certain sports they don't dominate as they do others. Swimming is probably money unless you are a part-time dolphin; but snucker is very profitable..

are there any black darts plays who play regular on the circuit,or are they all on the door

Another strange one. Plenty of money in that 'game' now..

Desmond Douglas played ping pong but i can't remember another.

Ridiculous comment

Chester Barnes g2d, assistant trainer for martin Pipe for years.

Back on the subject of Peter Ebdon, he used to do my napper in. He'd take 3 or 4 minutes over a single shot and that's just not cricket.

I remember that match about 10(?) years back when he beat Ronnue. He was having the cue ball cleaned literally every third shot.

Imo, the incidence of ethnic minorities in particular sports is linked to role models. In all probability, a young black lad will want to take up football, boxing or basketball.

I never knew Chester was black, Slips?

Incredible shot by Shaun Murphy in the fifth frame against Ronnie.

Shaunas O'Murphy should have kept his gob shut about the brat..

I thought blacks are no good at swimming as genetically they have denser bones than whites.

Tell that to Antony Nesty.

Since (some) Black people have longer arms than White people of the same height, you'd think there should be an advantage for sports like darts, snooker and perhaps even horseracing -- so like i_agree_with_nick says, it's probably about role models.

This is probably also why we now have more Chinese snooker players in the top whatever.
