I like currling ayee
Loved the video, but I have to say that I knew Alan wasn't going to do terribly well when I saw that it was only 5:18. 😁
For someone who hasn't played for two years using a different cue.. that was damn impressive
What's that language they're speaking??
This show is just so good
Great channel. On a side note, I worked on your barn conversion about 14 years
We Dutch love the Scots. Alan and Stephen make clear why.
Aye good show 🖖🔝😉💃
The original tough table as played by Stephen was easier than he is presenting to his guests. Many reds were further away from the cush. The table was easier. He should play his round again, with this updated tough table.
Stupid scottish accent
These two should play a match and the loser has to say purple burglar alarm.
Has Ronnie done this yet? …What did he get? …147?
I subscribed.
Get Ebdon on
we want ronnie on the tough table challenge
Ohhh The TTC!
Nice one Alan McManus!👍
Great watch, love the channel Stephen. On topic of ash or maple cues. Maple cues dont gave a grain in them like ash cues is that correct. Also do maple cues flex more with a say, power shot. I thought most pros used ash cues, yourself included Stephen?
My two favourite snooker commentators together.
I remember meeting Stephen a few times at Spencer’s snooker club in Stirling, those were the days, now a Lidl.
👍
When your getting Ronnie in the video from india
Hope to see ronnie～
Get Ronny on
Love your Channel Stephen, great to see Alan again too. I played snooker with him in his old house in Mossend, Bellshill. when he had his “Wee Table” as a kid.
It would be great if you do a video all about side. What I mean is, when potting a ball (Red) and let’s say hitting it half ball will pot it. That’s fine with plain ball. However, if you’re using side on the cue ball, the cue ball will deviate. Therefore, missing the intended target. So, how do you guys workout how much the cue ball will deviate by the strength the ball is struck and the distance from the target ball.
What the pros say is that the cue ball will curve, but they never explain. Ok, half ball will pot it, however, I’m putting righthand side on the cue ball so I have to aim maybe quarter ball to compensate for the deviation.
Hope that makes sense.
All the Very Best

Who wants roonie to attempt this.
No Country for Old men, what a legend.
He wasn't playing fast enough
