    Insert whatever F1 fans tell cricket or football fans saying F1 is boring.

    I remember when I was a small lad, my father went to a snooker tournament and was sitting in the crowd watching the game live. The TV camera panned on part of the crowd he was sitting in, I jumped up and down shouting hello daddy in front of the TV only for him to continue sitting there and "ignoring" me. I was p!$$ed at him until my mother explained that he couldn't see me :

    Snooker is just one of those games like golf and darts that I'd happily play myself but can't see the point of watching
    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    Golf and darts make me snooze within seconds as well, but snooker is different. Having said that, I'm usually only interested in finals or semi finals, where it's two really good players going at it, and that way it's not one sided and you get to see a good scrap for the win, some incredible pots, safety shots etc. Watch the last 2 frames of Sunday's match and you'll see what I'm getting at.

    Most people find the safety part boring, but I like it, it's like a chess game, back and forth until someone blinks and makes a mistake, takes enormous amounts of patience and talent, and I appreciate that.

    Then again, my interest in sports is varied. I absolutely HATE watching football. Usually it's a snorefest whenever I put any club matches on, I'm Zzzz in NO time. I can stand cricket somewhat. Absolutely love motorsports of any kind. Acquired interest in snooker over time, and lately got really interested in MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), especially UFC. Now, you can't find more polarizing sports than snooker and mixed martial arts.

    I've got well into snooker, and look forward to attending several sessions of the German Masters and the World Championship this year.

    The Reason Fishing isn't bigger? Anything you can do well drunk usually isn't a sport...which puts Darts in jeopardy!!

    Snooker is alright if there is Nothing else to do......
