Thread: Snooker - Ken Doherty

  1. #1

    Snooker - Ken Doherty

    Does anyone else watch the snooker now and again?
    Why, on earth, is Ken Doherty allowed to commentate? He's the most droney, monotonous, boring man I've ever heard on commentary, I've honestly never heard a more boring bloke in almost 40 yrs of watching/listening to sport.

    Seriously, who on earth makes these decisions when it comes to picking commentators?
    I'm sure they're just taking the piss.

    There's not a lot for them to say really is there ?

    Same as darts

    Is John Virgo still on the scene ?

    Not sure, but wish he was tonight. Doherty would make Virgo sound like the most exciting pundit on the planet!

    Have you heard the CCTV commentary crew?
    It is like having Mark from Peep Show offering his thoughts.

    I have.
    A tenner a match is an insult. Don't get me started... I get the impression that nobody at the club really cares or gives a toss about the channel.
    It's a potential cash-cow if done right, but it's done so badly that it's literally quite shocking.
    If you're in the business of making money, CCTV Is definitely a good lesson in how NOT to go about it

    John Virgo was commentating on the Welsh Open from Llandudno last week.

    I quite like listening to him. I guess snooker lends itself to droney, monotonous voices in commentary.

    I think BBC are getting rid of Dennis Taylor and John Virgo this year after the World Championship. Taylor will be sorely missed as a broadcaster but I find Virgo annoying. I'm sure lots would disagree.
