Why dont you say what you feel sickpotter rofl

I actually agree with you 100%, Robbo winning would be great for the game and considering how fanatical the Aussies are about their sport, i wouldnt be suprised if the game would skyrocket in Australia should he win.

Im not overstating it but Mark Selby is making Snooker interesting.

the same people who sais Stephen Hendry was Boring Winning Everything are the very same people who wants to see Ronnie winning everything.

No mean intent, I just get :wild2: having to listen to ROS fans complain there's nothing worth watching once he's gone.

ROS is important to the game but he is not the game. Unless the new players are front and center there is little chance of moving the game to the international stage and expanding it's audience.

Fans of snooker wouldn't see someone from outside the UK winning as a bad thing. When one suggests it is a bad thing it just gives the appearance that they care little for the sport and only appreciate one player. That's not the kind of fan the sport needs as their shelf life is limited to that of their favorite player. ROS is late in his career so attracting fans who're only interested in watching him does little to help the game's future.

It frustrates me bady sickpotter. The Ronnie fans complaining because he has gone out have driven me crazy. I have been having running battles with eejits on the 606 for the same reason today. They do not realise that they are the ones that are damaging the sport by tuning out when Ronnie gets beaten.

Robertson Needs to push on Here Carter doesn't look capable of stringing pots together so far if it isn't 6-2 or 7-1 then Carter would have got out of jail the way hes played the first 4 frames.
