Snooker

I moved from Cambridge to Sheffield in Christmas 2020 at the height of Lockdown 2. When life returned to "normal" 6 months later I said I'd try a bit of everything (except line dancing) Sheffield had to offer, so tomorrow I'm at the morning session (the cheap one) at the Crucible.

Never seen snooker live, hardly watched it on TV since the days of Thorburn and Davis and Parrot.

Anyone watch ? Who the hell are Anthony McGill and Liam Highfield ?
has that Maguire/Murphy game finished yet?
 
I watch snooker all the time now, after hardly watching it from about the boring Hendry era to a few years ago. When I finish watching it (around midnight) I think “what a waste of my time, I could have spent it much more productively”. I’ll do the same tonight and the next fortnight.

I was watching Murphy last night and thought Werbeniuk was back.
hard watch that one.
 
I enjoyed my first live snooker at the Crucible this morning, McGill gritting it out 10-7 in a safety exhibition. 8 frames in 3+ hours.

Sheffield seems a good home for the World Championships. Great view (better than TV), real ales at the bar, impressively silent crowd.

I can't help thinking I'd have beat either of those two after 4 pints of IPA at Fulbourn Social Club post work in my late 80s heyday (top break 15), mind.
