Ronnie - is there any way to cheer him up?

Just because he has his own crappy blog and is able to namedrop a few pros here and there does not make him any different to you, me or Smart.

I guess that's just the nature of the internet. Not everything on it has to add value. I mean we post on a snooker forum, he posts a blog about snooker. None of it has to have any grand meaning.

If you don't want to read his blog or follow him on Twitter, you don't have to. In the same way, you don't have to come on here and talk to us muppets about snooker.

There are countless blogs that I'll never even know exists on the internet. Their kind of easy to ignore.

Agreed. I mean at the end of the day we post on a snooker forum, as you said. We share our opinions and we aren't arrogant enough to think our opinions matter a great deal because they don't.

I guess it grinds my gears abit when I see people like Snookerbacker and Hendon pontificating and putting themselves up on a pedestal. They are fans, nothing more.

I see what you're saying, it just doesn't really bother me that much.

I kind of like the idea of people creating a blog to write and discuss things they're interested in. Especially when it's something like snooker that gets a lot of bad press for being boring.

On the other hand, I like horror films for example, and have seen people putting up blogs and reviews of horror films that you can get on DVD. I own a gazillion horror movies on DVD, and watch a lot of quite obscure ones. Somebody once said I should give it a go. Blog my thoughts, as I watch them a lot. And I shrugged and said I'm not sure anybody would care what I think. I guess the idea of blogging does lead to a slightly arrogant idea that people are going to be interested in your opinion.

But then so does me posting this on a fourm. All things considered, it don't really bother me. It's nice to see people have passion for stuff, I guess. And writing is a good creative outlet. It's better to show your passion that way, then go out and beat people up in a football match because they support a different team to you, or something like that.

Yeah I like to know what YOU think about XYZ snooker topic - but I don't think your opinion sways my opinion or that I could not live without knowing your opinion. The feeling I get is that these bloggers feel they are a different breed. They clearly are not. Hendon / Snookerbacker seem to think they are worthy of attention or worthy of being listened to.......

I think not. No more so than you or I.

Roland. I remember that name from somewhere....

One of my boxing forums maybe?

Maybe Ronnie should make a blog if he's so bored. A lot of people would read it.

It's a blog, but it's often been confused for a bog as my posts are grammatically flawed and my opinions are divisive

your opinions often stink

Ronnie has a blog on the eurosport site.

Oh yeah, course he does!

I'm a big fan. I think about it all the time.

September. Is that the most recent one?

No wonder he's bucking bored, tell him to get busy.

Masturbation does give you a nice feel good factor. I wonder if Ronnie is right or left handed.

Are you offering to give him one?

That's hurtful man.

I wonder if he's thought of taking up running, perhaps as a way to spend his time away from the table.

There's a lot of Sherman tanks on here who clearly no nothing about snooker. Haha

Maybe Ronnie should join TSF, I reckon the cockwomble would like it there. He's good at trolling tournaments a forum would be a walk in the park for him
