I enjoy watching it, never really had particular favourites but can't stand Ronnie O'SullivanI am a massive fan of professional snooker, myself being an "average" club player (highest break 67). I love watching it on TV and seeing emerging stars. So, if you are a fan, who is your favourite player, both past and present. My past favourites are David Taylor, Dennis Taylor, Stephen Hendry and Alex Higgins. My current favourites are Ding Junhui, Shaun Murphy, Neil Robertson and Kyren Wilson.
Saddest day in snooker? The passing of the talented Paul Hunter to cancer.

I wasn't going to mention R.O'S simply because of the backlash from of his many fans, but I really can't stand the smug twat. Sure, he has a phenomenal talent, but so did Stephen Hendry - a far superior player in my opinion. I absolutely love it when O'Sullivan loses.I enjoy watching it, never really had particular favourites but can't stand Ronnie O'Sullivan
The saddest day in snooker history as far as I'm concerned. A lovely lad both on and off the snooker table. He didn't deserve to pass away with cancer. I'm thrilled that there is a tournament in his name.My Current favourite is Mark Williams. The guy was pretty much finished, fought back, won the world championship, really respect that.
Past favourite has to be Hurricane Higgins. I know he had a turbulent lifestyle, but a true entertainer who was playing a different kind of snooker to almost everyone else around at the time. In his prime, he'd look very much at home if he was playing now. Pioneered the modern way of playing in an age of "grinders".
Hope Kyren Wilson can live up to his potential. I'd love to see a lasting rivalry between him and Judd Trump.
I was gutted when Paul Hunter died. Really think he'd have been an all time great, surely he'd have won multiple worlds, the guy was a real talent.
My favourite was Hurricane Higgins, but I also used to like the guy who was always impeccably dressed in a waistcoat (Hendry?).Haven't played snooker or followed it in years though since it's not a major sport over here. I used to be pretty good at it; we had our own table at home.I am a massive fan of professional snooker, myself being an "average" club player (highest break 67).

Just going on from the players and the actual game, who's your favourite or worst commentator? My favourite(s) are Dennis Taylor, Stephen Hendry, Ken Doherty and John Parrot. All extremely knowledgeable in the game. My most hated (even to the point of muting him!) is John Boring Virgo. He gets so much wrong. And he'll say something like "Well, I wouldn't have played that shot." No Virgo. That's why you won sod all. Okay, one UK Championship, but that was it!
If he'd have potted that simple red into the middle bag, he would have gone on to win. I bet he was gutted!Yep, held it together well for the last two frames. Brecel missing a red he'd pot with his eyes closed in any other circumstances!

I doubt if that's true! I have absolutely no idea who is "big" in the darts world these days. I've heard of Phil Taylor, but that is really it! I gave up watching darts after players like Bobby George, Leighton Rees, Jocky Wilson, Cliff Lazerenko, Eric Bristow etc.For me it’s had its day really and needs reinventing a bit like the darts have been. I’m sure more people could tell you who the world darts champion (pdc) is over who the world snooker champion is.
I used to watch the old show "Pot Black", here is one match I found on Youtube:My favourite was Big Break.
You don't get that kind of entertainment now. When they used to do the trick shots as well!
Or a cheatJust seen Shaun Murphy’s shot to escape from a snooker Yesterday. wtf. not only escaped, but potted the only red…. He has to be a wizard…
??Or a cheat
Not magic but an illusion
