Replying To KillingFields: "What is it then? What's your definition of a sport then?" Something with a bit of physical effort. Something with an element of winning or losing. Somethin g with confrontation. It's not sitting down in a cosy chair, with a pint at your elbow. lionofludesch (Down) - Posts: 369 - 20/05/2020 16:45:54 2278826 Link

Replying To lionofludesch: "Something with a bit of physical effort. Something with an element of winning or losing. Somethin g with confrontation. It's not sitting down in a cosy chair, with a pint at your elbow." So there's no element of winning or losing in snooker? I must mention that to Jimmy White the next time I'm sitting down in a cosy chair having a pint with him... streaker (Galway) - Posts: 385 - 20/05/2020 18:02:35 2278834 Link
Replying To streaker: "So there's no element of winning or losing in snooker? I must mention that to Jimmy White the next time I'm sitting down in a cosy chair having a pint with him..." Sure - you can win or lose. You can win or lose at Snakes and Ladders. Not a sport.` lionofludesch (Down) - Posts: 369 - 20/05/2020 18:36:04 2278835 Link
Replying To Morty: "What about potting a brown?" If you are potting a brown you are probably in the wrong town. Ollie2 (Louth) - Posts: 221 - 20/05/2020 18:36:08 2278836 Link
Replying To lionofludesch: "Something with a bit of physical effort. Something with an element of winning or losing. Somethin g with confrontation. It's not sitting down in a cosy chair, with a pint at your elbow." Confrontation doesnt make a sport. Nonsense to say that. Is swimming not a sport then? Cycling? Plenty physical effort in snooker. And winning/losing. Tou serious about that?? KillingFields (Limerick) - Posts: 1636 - 20/05/2020 18:37:25 2278838 Link
Replying To Breezy: "Sore they're garrison games Both pale in comparison to a true Gaelic sport like tiddlywinks" Bridge was proposed for the Olympics. Didn't happen mind you. lionofludesch (Down) - Posts: 369 - 20/05/2020 18:46:53 2278840 Link
Replying To KillingFields: "Confrontation doesnt make a sport. Nonsense to say that. Is swimming not a sport then? Cycling? Plenty physical effort in snooker. And winning/losing. Tou serious about that??" Plenty physical effort ? Lol. In what way ? OK - how do you feel about Subbuteo ? Similar skills, but, for me, still not enough physical effort to be a sport. lionofludesch (Down) - Posts: 369 - 20/05/2020 19:20:04 2278847 Link
Replying To lionofludesch: "Sure - you can win or lose. You can win or lose at Snakes and Ladders. Not a sport.`" Eh, yes I know you can. However, I wasn't referring to Snakes and Ladders. I was referring to snooker. streaker (Galway) - Posts: 385 - 20/05/2020 20:11:20 2278850 Link
Replying To lionofludesch: "Plenty physical effort ? Lol. In what way ? OK - how do you feel about Subbuteo ? Similar skills, but, for me, still not enough physical effort to be a sport." Sport isnt all about physical effort though its about skill or physical prowess and snooker possess plenty. Highly ignorant to say it isnt a sport. Also very childish KillingFields (Limerick) - Posts: 1636 - 20/05/2020 20:37:06 2278856 Link
Painting was an Olympic event. Plenty of visualisation to prep for it. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 5955 - 20/05/2020 20:44:23 2278857 Link
I suppose if Golf is a sport so too is Snooker. You can minimize anything if you were to try to I guess. Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 1082 - 20/05/2020 21:12:54 2278861 Link
Basketball No. 1 with the number of plays, Rugby next, Soccer & then GAA. Best GAA coaches at plays in games were John Morrison & Liam Sammon. Conditioned games is true coaching, watching 10 lads in a small marked out square pushing & shoving is the new coaching & an absolute ball of sh#te. moc.dna (Galway) - Posts: 1049 - 20/05/2020 22:48:45 2278878 Link

Replying To KillingFields: "Confrontation doesnt make a sport. Nonsense to say that. Is swimming not a sport then? Cycling? Plenty physical effort in snooker. And winning/losing. Tou serious about that??" Swimming and cycling in a race is a sport. Tootling around the Mournes on your bike, admiring the view at 60 miles a week, not a sport. That's "exercise". lionofludesch (Down) - Posts: 369 - 21/05/2020 09:04:07 2278887 Link
Replying To KillingFields: "Sport isnt all about physical effort though its about skill or physical prowess and snooker possess plenty. Highly ignorant to say it isnt a sport. Also very childish" Lots of things have skills. Wood turning for instance. It doesn't make them sports. Childish ? Because I have a different view to you ? Ah - come on - sure, you're better than a cheap jibe. lionofludesch (Down) - Posts: 369 - 21/05/2020 09:06:26 2278888 Link
