They're showing the final on Sunday morning but that could be 1 session?

Are they not showing the whole final? Really? They find that acceptable?????

they cant please everyone and regarding sports coverage id say theres more snooker on eurosport than any other sport.

id say during the course of a season now snooker is very well represented on TV Full stop with over 100 hours for the world championship alone the equivalent of about 33 football matches including build up.

It's still ridiculous to show a tournament and then cut out the most important match (the final), there is no excuse for that, it's simply incompetence on their part.

Would you find it acceptable to show 75 minutes of a football match when the scores are even?

They show repeats of matches throughout the day so I don't see why they can't do that with the final, there is no excuse, if you're going to commit to something do it properly, I can't believe they charge extra for this channel.
