Snooker Champions Matched

[jesusfreak1975]

yeah i think todays players dont realise how good they've got it what when you compare the short modern day matches to this! But also back then no one could really make a living at it - theres more pressure on players today who put all their lifes efforts into a game to survive. so hence this pressure - hence their behaviour. So its not so bad to be like a robot is it? I mean its not easy to just have fun and chill when you are playing for your livelihood. :)

we dont have exciting snooker anymore except ronnies game. The rest are all robotic potting machines. If the audiance can see these type of shot then they will love to watch it more plus the young stars will be inspired in playing snooker.

Amazing. The only thing more amazing than Davis' century break, is the fact that the match was 145 frames, lasting 2 weeks.

Were those masses (supposed to be an accent on the e) actually played as part of the final, or just for the benefit of this video?
