It has always been "shot to nothing", he's the only one that says it, he must know it's wrong, anyone who knows anything about snooker knows the term, JV: It's "shot to nothing", right!

I know what a shot to nothing is balders, please read my post again.
When I know that John Virgo's commentating I always use the 'mute' button
Has his commentating gone for pot this year?
...when I know snooker is on, I always use the "change channel" button.
I have always heard Willie Thorne say it - but I didn't know it was an official term of the game.
Where's the cue-ball going?!"
Actually, shot for nothing makes more sense.

Just confirming it, right!

"shot to nothing" is one of many age old phrases in snooker, not official as such but it's like many sporting terms, eg the "one, two" in Soccer. Virgo knows but he's started saying "shot for nothing" which is wrong, even if it does make more sense grammatically.
John Virgo is the most boring commentator.If you get chance, tune in to Eurosport and listen to Joe Johnson, far more informed and definitely far more unbiased.
Yes, I much prefer Eurosport for commentary.
As NJ mentioned, his ridiculous cries of "where's the cue ball going?", when it's clearly going nowhere near a pocket, are becoming annoying.
I don't know about his "shot for nothing" utterance.
