I fear for my TV if I have to hear Dennis Taylor say any variation of "JT Special" once more :))

It's that time of the year again folks! - Eyes down...........
|

By:
If you're going to miss a shot like that, better to miss it on the thin side.

I just hope Hendry is there, not sure I can stand much of Davis and his Parrot.
|

By:
Looking forward to hearing Hazel grilling Davis & his sidekicks as to why so many older players are doing so well in the game.

One thing for sure there'll be a lot of tension in the cueing arm over the first few days, will explain all the balls being missed off their spots.

When you're sitting in that chair it can feel like the lonliest place in the world at times.
Would you believe that? That's the only place on the table the cue ball could have finished where he hasn't got a pot on. |

lol^

and after yet another ball looks wide, only to mysteriously drop into the pocket - "Been a lot of debate about the pocket sizes, but I can assure everyone at home they're the same size for every event" JV.

"Trump a thin c*nt... sorry cut, cut." Terry Griffiths.

Two more shocking omissions, imo:
"You need a bit of luck/the rub of the green in this game." "You won't see a better shot all week/tournament." |
|
By:
"ohhhh, how did that go in!!??" JV.
think we'll be hearing that a lot the next 2 weeks  |
|
By:
Couple of good ones over the first two days:
"I don't care who you are, if you don't pot balls in this game, you'll never get anything out of it." (JV) "Murphy literally can't miss another pot from here on in." (how else can he miss them Willie?) Also Ken gave us "tension in the cue arm" and "amazing what happens on a 12x6 ft table" though I'm sure Denis and John will already be on to their lawyers to sue for copywrite infringement. |

Fingers crossed we will hear "Clinchers Disease" during the 2016 feast.

"Bit of noise from the other table"

Just now,"you cant win the match in the first session but you can certainly lose it".total bolox,whenever taylors on im gonna have to mute the tv .
|

By:
Always bugs me that one, in a two player contest surly if one player has lost it the other one must have won it?
|

No one has yet mentioned somebody who really irritates me . Phil Yates. He was bearable at first but now i can't stand him. Why does he have to make every sentence so complex? Just talk simply. He seems to always want to use extravagant words and it grates after a while.
One thing he always says which i can't personally stand is ... 'Of that there is no doubt ' ergh. Anyone else find him annoying? |
|
By:
Whos this new fella on the bbc , bit of a bore
|
|
By:
George something or other...former journalist/reporter it seems, VBF of Hendry or so he'd have you believe. Seems ok, bit of a change anyway from having another former player riding the gravy train.

On the 'Chinese lads' thing. Virgo always says "its not easy living out of a suitcase" How long have ding and fu lived over here now? Im sure both are shacked up in a decent opair of mansions somewhere by now!

I've often heard that one "You can't win a match in the first session, but you can certainly lose it" Mmm! If you can lose it where does that leave your opponent?

"Mind your Work" just landed - JV.

He seems to always want to use extravagant words and it grates after a while. I have to agree - although he is knowledgable, his commentating style really gets on my t!ts. He sounds like he is permanently surprised (or has a carrot stuck up his 'arris!). |

"These super fine cloths" landed several times today.
|
|
By:
"Where's that cueball going?!" landed.
|
|
By:
Thats landed about 20 times at this stage app

Love where's the cue ball going. My favourite was when the balls were scattered all over the place, and after "where's the cue ball going" there was "where's the black going?" and then "WHERE'S THE RED GOING?". Brilliant drama and JV's the best in the business at it.

Just waiting for a line Willie Thorne uses all the time:
"I can't for the life of me understand why he played that shot". |
|
By:
On one occassion both baize boys agreed there was a problem with the cue ball and that it should be replaced. As the camera followed an official carrying the offending ball out of the arena, Virgo declared: "where's the cue ball going?"
I enjoyed the remark. |

I often wonder what snooker commentry would sound like if 5Live covered it. Too much dead air i suppose.

Classic JV
 |
|
By:
I dont follow cricket much ccd, but if Test Match special can become a cult classic, then dont see why the same couldnt be done with snooker. Put virgo, hendry, foulds and jimmy in a booth for 4 hours and wont be much dead air time there i reckon.

"they've allways been there them pockets"
|

By:
I think you are right John - we would prob be talking about an-online only broadcast for just the mastets and worlds. Is there a snooker podcast out there? Anyway i guess we shd keep this thread free for annoying/funny commentry quotes.

JV again: "That's why billiards never caught on" during tippy-tappy session between Trump and Ding. Old favourite weighed in.
|
|
By:
"Worrying times for (fill in player name - usually Joe Perry)"
|
|
By:
Surely the following classic has been weighed in a few times: -
"the black is now out of commission" |
|
By:
"he has a rolls royce cue action" (although that was normally said about Stephen Lee)
|
|
By:
I think both of the above classics are normally said by JV
