Is Snooker a sport?
 

Not sure whether this is the right forum, but meh. Other thread gave me an idea for this one.

Is snooker a sport, or not?

Yeah I would consider it a sport....they have skill and practice as much as any other sports .......

Yes, Snooker is epic.

theres matches..one loses one wins..deffinetly a sport!

Of course it is, and a very enjoyable one at that. The World Championship is coming up soon, right?

This,

Lots of Skill involved in Snooker it's not as easy as potting the Ball Positioning is everything

It's great stuff. The final frame deciders are magic.

Indeed, and you can get some epic safety exchanges too. Whoever said snooker is boring quite clearly has never watched enough of it.

Yeah plus you've got to try and break the pack up, plus the best one, trying to snooker people...

Or hasn't played it themselves. The control and mastery involved is something to behold.

Remember as a kid thinking it would be easy to be a snooker player

but potting is hard enough...and they dont even think about that when they play, its second nature..let alone having to think about where the white ball will land

yep and so is darts

Yeah plus the fact that they are thinking 2-3 shots ahead...it still amazes me how they can think like that...

Agree with this statement big time. Honestly don't know how they do it in Darts. I mean we've all hit big scores once in awhile, but to do it on that big stage, and perform at such a high level under that kind of pressure. Amazing.

Yeah, playing snooker is certainly not easy. A few shots after the break for me and the table is already an appalling looking mess.

Darts has really took off in the last 3 years


Sky of course

not that bbc cack

Yes.

Snooker is sooo hard, I am ok, great at pool, but there is alot of difference.

Right you're on baby. Pool's my game.

Used to play in a pool club every saturday, was very good at it for a while, then i found alcohol..........:(

It's my game ;)


I am the Fast Eddie of Yorkshire haha

Yep, snookers good :thumbs:

Yadda yadda. Bring it on.

Sounds good. I used to play for pub teams and that, but it was a really serious one and they got actually annoyed at you if you lost, not just banter. So like stopped all that, took the fun out of the game.
