Re: Snooker And The British Class System
I resent that. I've got an attention span of a goldfish and I enjoy snooker

I'm not that clever but I have learnt that to really appreciate something it needs to have some depth and subtlety. I like a lot of superficial things, but the things I am really passionate about - like snooker and cycling and really good music - take time and effort to appreciate.
But not many people are prepared to invest that time these days. I don't know if it is their fault or the fault of society but it is uncommon to find people who are willing to play the long game. Maybe there is too much choice now, and snooker can't compete in the modern era.
So in my opinion, all of us on here are the connoisseurs of an art - for snooker at its highest level is an art - that transcends sport. We might become embroiled in debates about who is the GOAT, or whether Woolaston is the best player never to have beaten Higginson in a best of seven but we know that this sandy Island that we inhabit is a rarefied place of infinite beauty and charm.
Viva snooker.
