    Is it my imagination or when willies commentating on a match, he talks way too much?
    I mean he dicsects every little thing, every roll, every little bit of spin....just everything!! :mad:
    Sometimes i turn the volume down and just watch it, cause i cant stand him, its as if hes talkin to people who are watchin the sport for the 1st time...WERE NOT STUPID WILLIE!!, WE KNOW HE PUT REVERSE SPIN ON TO TAKE IT OFF THE CUSHION...NO NEED TO EXPLAIN HOWS ITS DONE EVERYTIME A PLAYER DOES IT FFS.

    Ok rant over...LONG LIVE CLIVE EVERTON!!!

    You do know Clive has been as good as axed from the BBC commentary team?

    He will only feature up to the quarter finals of the World Championship.

    Disgraceful IMO. :mad:

    I don't mind Wille, he's not as bad as Terry Griffiths, or those absolutely woeful commentators on Eurosport, I don't even watch it on eurosport as there is 0 atmosphere it's just complete rubbish. BBC give a great feel to a snooker tournament, it's a real pity they don't show that many anymore.

    JV and Steve Davis ftw!

    Ah here, don't forget Dennis Taylor! definitely the best commentator there is. In fact the best pairing n the BBC is JV and taylor, they just seem to go so well together. Willie thorne is a bit annoying alright
