8 years ago...

Determined to find a pool site to typed in free pool game on google and it was the bottom result of the first page....


Very similar to ritcho, but was almost 7 years ago now. and yes it as low down on the google page compared to games not half as good.

and during the World Snooker Championships around May you could be looking 250 or even 300.

i remember times when nick had to up the server limit because players struggled to log in because of the snooker on Television.

At least its recent. But its definitely something we need to look in to. End of the day, even if we have a sudden boost of newbies, we could set up events to help train them up into the mean potting machine I am today

Brother started playing it about 9 years ago, he was a complete troublemaker, never got banned but always caused arguments on the server and in the forums.. And i began watching him closely..

Signed up myself about 8 years ago, an then i became a troublemaker, only difference is i actually got banned. Brother shoots into my bedroom, kicking off because of the i.p ban so he couldn't play pool either..

Shortly after, my account was banned, so was his! Again he storms into my bedroom going mental.. And i've had maybe 25 accounts in those 8 years all banned.

Started off on phillydude

First i was interested in finding a free snooker game online as there were very few sites that offered it few years ago. Found funkysnooker on a simple google search

Maybe no one has much cause for online pool games nowadays when there's PS4s n XBOXs

In the good old days when money grew on trees and the celtic tiger was alive and well, i used to work in a honda dealership. One of the mechanics there showed me this game. He'd sit in the service section and i'd be at the parts counter; we'd just play for hours. That honda dealership has gone bust since.

I reckon if you had ads for funky on websites for real pool leagues, or at least pool websites. I remember seeing an ad for some virtual 3D pool thing(which looked crap) on a pool website and it got me thinking that it'd be a good place for funky to advertise.

Sure half the reason i joined on here was because i play pool in real life. I'm sure there's plenty others the same.

I first heard of chips and gravy from a yorkshireman friend...I still prefer the old chips and cheese or chips and curry sauce combos but if it's KFC gravy then you're on to a winner.

He's 21 , which means he was 12-13 ish.

I was 13 when I started, a few friends in school said they'd found a good pool game and I got hooked, they dropped it after a few weeks but I stuck around and have been on and off since.

I heard of it by looking through for different snooker games to play, and the one which stood out was funkysnooker.com that i found via Google. I tried it as a guest and saw the forums but had no clue what it was about, but then I played that from may 2009 to late 2010, and got to know the clan world better from here on, eventually going into one. That then went down for a week odd once, and I came here and tried this one, having already seen it was here. I then since have played here and on snooker, but did play here more when i first got started and didn't do snooker much.
