What do you mean, boring sport for boring people? Snooker's not only about trigonometry, it's about having the amazing mental strength needed not to scream "FUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKK!!!!!" and smash your cue off the table when you miss a sitter and let the other bloke in to clean up.

Anyway - snooker fans. With the World Championship coming up soon, what do we think of Barry Hearn's proposals to take over and change the sport like he did darts?

Also, why are there no good Irish snooker players (my own max break is a lousy 38)?
