Is it bad?

I don't really 'do' sport - never been interested in football, rugby, cricket etc, and only had a passing interest in F1 and BTCC a while back. Anyway, yesterday, I got to watching the snooker on BBC 1, and really enjoyed it - especially the afternoon match between Shaun Murphy and Mark Selby;

Now, I fully intend to watch the final this afternoon, but is it bad that I really want to see Mark Selby thrash the backside off Ronnie O'Sullivan? Don't get me wrong, Ronnie O'Sullivan is a cracking snooker player, but he doesn't come across as a very nice person. How many times has he taken the huff or even 'retired' immediately after winning, only to come back a few months later?

Mark on the other hand, seems like a genuinely nice bloke.

Anyone with me, and going to be ooooohhhing and aaaaaahhhhing at the telly later?

 

Fair comment - he is certainly showing Mark how it should be done this afternoon.

 

Thanks for the warning about the Snooker Match, FC. I'll go and do something more exciting like staring an empty Snail Shell to see if it's owner might come back.

 

Ooooooh, harsh!

Might not bother with the second half, looks like a foregone conclusion

Never!!! I don't know why it is but I go into immediate mental shutdown when Sport is mentioned It might be the effect of School where you were forced into some sport or other, usually without being asked what sport you might like!!! But I really get a mental block when I see thousands of "Fans" at football matches screaming, waving, jumping up and down, crying when their team loses/wins or puffing out their chests and looking superior when their team wins.............it isn't as though they themselves were on the ground playing with skill and scoring goals but they act like it Maybe we need something to divert up from the stresses of Life but the chanting, looking down at other teams or even hating them, wearing of the Kit [even if they've got a Beer Belly and would be out of breath after the first kick of a ball] just smacks of Tribalism.

 

I'm with you on just about every other sport - not my thing at all.
However, there is something about a good snooker match that I enjoy - don't get me wrong, its only the really well matched ones and doesn't apply to allb

Spurs? Are they not a component of cowboy boots?

I ain't worried about street cred - I go clothes shopping and ask to be directed to the dull and dowdy department

He looks more like someone has crept up behind him with a billiard cue and left it somewhere!!
