I prefer to watch it live but often can't. I do sometimes attempt to avoid all media/ Twitter / SI so I can watch it without knowing the result. I did that with the UK final this year on the iplayer. It's really hard though. I have to text my two snooker buddies and tell them not to text anything about the result. Cue loads of texts saying 'Ronnie got a 147!!!!' But I never know if they are winding me up or not!

I don't seem to have taped much during the week in the China event this year I didn't watch the end of Higgins vs Tramp last night as I knew the result.
Still, hopefully I'll get to see the end of whomever is on television this morning.
personally I hate watching non-LIVE snooker unless its archive footage. Snooker has to be watched live for me.
I usually watch snooker non-live, since I never have enough spare time to watch a match all in one go.
that's a terrible shame
I am the same with football and cricket, in fact pretty much all sport is terrible for me unless its live
It's not a shame - I don't mind watching it non-live. I could watch a last year's match and still enjoy it.
oh

When you watch snooker do you sit in an armchair, armchair?

On the Eurosport commercial. He says it's a marathon not a sprint. Something about how much he likes running.
Eurosport remind you that The Crucible is soon.

Basically he's running around in gloomy lighting saying stuff like it's a 'marathon not a sprint' and other stuff that could apply to running or the Worlds. It's an ad on ES.

I think we need some kind of support group to get over her. Did I tell you about the time my mate and I met her and asked for a picture? We were grinning our heads off and she said 'you lads are easily pleased!' Such a lovely woman.

First time I met her, I got my mate to take a photo of us. I told her she was the best referee. She cheekily asked if best meant prettiest. I said she was prettier than Jan.
Second time, I'd started getting players autographs in a book. I saw her across the foyer at Wembley Arena. I shouted, "MICHAELA!" She turned round to see some fat guy making a bad attempt at running towards her. I arrived, panting, going; "Can I have your autograph?"

I really wasn't feeling The Crucible this year. But now I've seen Ronnie going for a run, I'm really psyched.

today I am watching via SkyGo on my PC, sat at a dinner chair.
If you want to reduce the number of characters you press when talking to me, you may address me as: ADC
Does that help you at all ?

One time, I was waiting for Michaels to come out of the player's entrance of The Crucible. Jan happened to pop out for a fag. I went up to him to ask when Michaela was coming out. He said she was just doing some TV work.
Anyway, I thought I'd better say something nice about him. So I blurted out; "My mum likes you."
He was like; "Ahhh, thanks."

Hahaha it does. I'd rather call you Armchair though.
I'm watching on my MacBook in bed. Watching snooker in bed is my third favourite thing to do in here :)

I had my photo taken with Leo one year in Sheffield. Not sure if anyone saw that photo, but it really was the highlight of the whole championship.
