Quite like the snooker and used to watch all the time to. way back to ray reardon terry griffiths . Started playing regularly at spencers in stirling in the 80s when the game was booming . Marco fu and steven hendry played there , and amazingly you could find ursel playing right beside them . They had the bottom 2 tables in a hall of 6 and in the close season we got the chance 2 play on hendrys table , never again the bags were about half an inch smaller and the cloth was like lightning
took me and my mate about an hour to finish a frame lol but u could watch in a wee stand that was built and just like that wee lassie it was fantastic to c them making the game look piss easy .
Spencer was the best club in scotland
We went ther e after playin in a dump called bakies in falkirk stevie
As soon as u walked in the place it was a different class hendry used to keep some of his trophys in 2 big cabinets and it just gave u a great feelin being there even the normal tables were a world apart from what we were used to playin on.

It’s great to have played there, an amazing place tbh and run so well. ??
The Masters in Glasgow was the only other club that nearly matched it.
1So will we ever see a woman on the snooker circuit?
Yes i think so. The sport is crazy in china so for me its only a matter of time. If you think the 2 women who played in the pdc world darts at xmas so why not.
After seeing that video I’d have to say yes.. But probably not iin my lifetime tbh, because as you know Haz there’s many a circuit player out there and with China’s young stars just emerging it will be extremely difficult for a female on the lower end of the circuit.
If by chance BH done some trickery and got them made professional early on then she would stand a good chance with someone backing her. Whoever that her is
Yeah someone would definitely need to back her. It’s not as easy as people think. People forget neil Robertson coming over with £500 and been practically one match away from giving it up. My mate turned pro who i took it up with when i was 12 he didn’t do hardly anything. Quarter finals of uk beaten by Matthew stevens. That was it in basically 15 years as a pro. Loads of qualifiers but there just so tough to get to the t.v stage.

As soon as Mark Williams, Henry, Higgins and O’sullivan hit the TV stages it was game over for most players tbh with some exceptions Ofcourse.. Mark Selby Barry Hawkins were the circuit players ??? just shows how tough it was..
If Jimmy White was not playing SH in the finals I’d have wanted him to win.. Was sad he didn’t tbh ? An exceptional talent, if he could have stopped with the b.s. He would have won it I think.
Stephen Mcguire is the same as Jimmy, some talent the boy too when he was young and runs around with some serious blocks too… ???
I can’t wait for the WC it’s gonna be a good one ??
Your right there mate. I love my snooker watching and played since i was a kid. That’s such an amazing achievement.
Tooth Hooking Right Haz. I have a vast amount of respect for people who can play. I won’t name drop but my MIL is related to a top ranked UK player. I was lucky enough to meet him and a few others including the rocket at Plymouth some years ago. When Mr Robidoux was miffed at Ronnie for playing left and right handed, accusing him of showing off when really it just added pressure to his game.
My highest break is 47 with bad eyesight on a real table and 140 on Virtual Snooker where centuries were ten a penny, not that the game was easy. There’s a new one out called Shooters Pool, but the makers are braindead with the player position and ability to look around while on the shot. Dunno why am telling you this, you might not be interested lol
Always interested mate. Watched Ronnie get 1000th century on Sunday was amazing to watch when he potted the red left handed to get his hubdred. Absolutely brilliant. Looking forward to world championships next month. Not missed watching a final for 35 years. 84 was the first. Jimmy white losing 18 16 to Steve Davis. Was instantly hooked. Starting playing at 9 and loved the game ever since. My highest break is a little higher than 47. ??
Gotta be cheating lmao
My (ex) wife used to hate me watching it but I brainwashed her into enjoying it lol

Was lucky growing up having a games room with a full size table in it lol. Endless hours of practice. Had a session of nearly 50 frames with my mate once after a night out. Was 7 1 down when i sobered up. I lost 25 22 in the end.?
There’s no physical reason why females can’t be as good at snooker as males. Same with Darts.
It puts me off me game I’m always looking at their bottom and breasts when I play a female
Lol back in the day there was a really fit young lass , played a lot of pool in our social club, funilly enough she always seemed to find herself having to stretch quite a lot with her leg on the table for her shots preffering not to use the rest. She wasn’t the best but always managed to win ???? .
