Quote from: Kidder81 on Today at 10:18:34 AMQuote from: tiempo on Today at 09:51:18 AMThe level of self-agrandising by Tommy Nibs leads me to think he's gone full parody and is only saying 'most powerful yet' on a weekly basis as an in-joke/piss take. Does grate at times, trying to sound nuanced with phrases like 'the modern GAA calendar'
Like all platforms, they flit from the GAA being in existential crisis to a life affirming Championship on a weekly basis depending on the most recent high profile game. If Down-Armagh had been the only game last weekend there would no doubt have been an inquest on various rules, coaching and the provincial system - but because Tyrone-Donegal was a bit more watchable and they got an interview with Ryan McHugh then all is right with the world ... until next week.
Was it ever confirmed what happened Thomas Kane, was he cannibalised by Nibs in the end?
I have to say Mark Sidebottom has aged like a fine wine, the silver fox, one for the mums and anyone with a wandering eye
From what I have heard I wouldn't be too sure on that
Quote from: gallsman on Today at 10:47:25 AMI have absolutely no idea why he does "no look" shots whatsoever. I don't think it's in any way famously a regular feature of his game.
He plays the underarm shot because he (in)famously prefers it to using the rest or the spider. Again, he's trying to win.

My point is and was that the "product on the table" you're sitting at home watching on TV today compared to 20 or 30 or 40 years ago has barely changed at all, other than for the actual standard of it going up. Admittedly you can see the table considerably more clearly since they stopped them smoking.
If your argument is "snooker is shit these days because Kyren Wilsen doesn't eat sweets with fans" I'd suggest your issue isn't with the snooker itself.
