    Apparently Rob Walker has done some as well and was terrible.

    Anyone been watching on BBC

    What have you made of Dave Farrar?

    Seen alot of mixed reviews from snooker players on twitter

    Not really sure what I have made of him myself yet, 
    He's obviously very professional and has done his research etc but I don't think he knows too much about snooker. He should stick to commentating and leave the analysis to the players.
    Most snooker people i follow including the players have been raving about Dave Farrar , positive feedback i haven't seen any criticism for him yet... Will try to watch a bit more on BBC so i have an opinion, people have said its quite refreshing. Some commentators are bit repetitive in my opinion.

    Yeah he has, but I liked him lol

    BBC limited with commentators for obvious reason, so have used Alan McManus, Joe Perry, Ken Doherty, Dennis Taylor, Rob Walker and Dave Farrar are in the arena

    Then obviously, Steve Davies, Stephen Hendry, John Parrot, Jason Mohammad and Seema Jaswal are in the studio

    ? BBC coverage is shocking, they miss alot of action and dont often stick with if its a close one like last night. Neil is ok, not my fave but bearable, i find a few grate on me sometimes so will switch if i can.

    They only miss the action if you have the wrong channel on as for me i usually keep it to the red button so i dont miss anything(even during the interval) and with last night it was easy enough for me to quickly switch on the bbc website and watch the last frame so it didn't effect me, obviously as I said last night older people who don't know how to do that it would have done and thats where its unfair and BBC need to look at it.

    But for me its a small price to pay to get away from Foulds for a tournament lol(during the qualifiers even Kelly pointed out how annoying he was lol)

    TBH Joe Johnson is just as bad as Neal Foulds if not worse.

    Dominic Dale is the only bareable one on Eurosport lol

    I like Foulds, think he talks sense. Phil Yates is a bit annoying.

    Quick Q School 1 update on some of the names I am looking out for(obviously the earlier rounds like last year there are to many matches to keep doing for updates so will just do the bigger names)

    Lee Walker 3-0 Matthew Glasby
    Hammad Miah 3-0 Bash Maqsood
    Fang Xiongman 3-0 Elliot Weston
    Patrick Wallace 3-2 Jamie Wilson
    Harvey Chandler 3-0 Kayden Brieley
    Robbie McGuigan 3-0 Mike Hallet
    Craig Steadman 3-2 Oliver Lines
    Ross Bulman 3-2 Ross Muir 

    Thats the results I have seen of note so far some good wins there but also disappointing defeats for the likes if Lines and Muir only 2 more events left for those 2 now

    Josh Thurmond (might have spelt wrong) is on my page due to pool bets, he posted he won 3-0 then gets a bye in the next round.

    Maguire is a good shout e/w, he is in Trumps half but also has been on some really good form. Think he has been varying between 25/1-33/1. Playing really well of late and won a recent tourney, i have a feeling Trump might go out next round which also makes it even better price

    A couple of minutes ago, Yan Bingtao knocked a glass over and broke it(first time I have ever seen it happen) a few minutes later he knocks the broken glass over again 

    How clumsy can 1 person be lol.

    Then he pots frame ball and knocks the black in they say its 7 years bad luck for breaking a mirror well maybe its the same for breaking a glass lol

    The irony, the one player who is most like Alex Higgins is Ronnie, you could say trump too. A bit before my time too so seen glimpses and not really been a huge fan same as Jimmy really as when i started watching him he wasn't in his peak.

    Used to like John Higgins growing up and Ronnie, Higgins not really anymore as you could imagine, Robbo my next fave after Ronnie these days, cant really get to like Trump because his attitude when he was younger but he is class, just not my cup of tea personality wise.

    Lol now thats Irony, you like Ronnie but cant to like Trump because of his Attitude when he was younger, Ronnies Attitude is why I hate him so much lol.

    Guess thats why I have no bad opinion on Alex Higgins, maybe he was like Ronnie, but as I never witnessed it I couldnt really form an opinion lol

    I know what you mean about Trump in his younger days, but I think he's matured a lot since then
