You're having a bad night mate...those Brut fumes have ****ed with your brain. First your fingers, next your speech...
What is wrong with me tonight? I lost interest when they stopped supping booze as they played. Bill Werb a wotsit, the big fat Canadian bloke could hammer a few pints down during a game and I respected him for that. The game's gone soft.
i agree , it is all a bit soppy today . A bit like the darts , it was better when it was a drinking competition and the bloke that could still see the board kinda won . then someone spoiled it by bringing milk to a pub !
Used to be into snooker a lot but lost interest lately, not a fan of any of the players about anymore. Graeme Dotts a nice guy though met him before.
coke fiend Kirk Stevens playboy Tony Knowles pi$$ in plantpots Alex Higgins and the king of all snooker hellraisers, Eddie Charlton! the quality might be better but a girly strop, spiky hair and zany shoes just don't offer the same as those old school snooker characters.
Bill Werbeniuk - 6 pints before a game, one pint between each frame. He used to have a caravan on site with a few barrels stored inside..... not as good as Cliff Thorburn, the other Canuck. Good win for Selby tonight.
Tony Knowles looked like the bloke who played Kirk St Moritz in Dear John, which was very underrated IMO. The players these days are a bit boring aren't they? Ray Reardon was a bit boring so to hide the fact he wasn't a piss artist or coke head he dressed as a vampire. Credit to him for at least making the effort, which is a lot more than can be said for today's lot. Oh and for the record that Australian bloke( Roberts of Robertson I think) his hair actually makes me feel ill to look at. Ponce.
Carmine, correct me if I'm wrong but didn't that bloke also play Dogfood Dan in the eponymous early 80's series alongside the Carmarthen Cowboy?
And it was said that he claimed tax rebate on every pint as he had a 'medical condition' the beer helped steady his nerves, so the story goes.
