Of course he could always twitch when the winning line approaches.

Thats exactly what I think will happen, mind you though there's less pressure on him now since he finally won a match at Masters, but still he wants to win this obviously.

Much better than a journeyman.

Really? Is that why his trophies are spilling over his mantle-piece these days?

We clearly have different definitions of journeymen. I'm guessing you're classing as someone who doesn't win all the time (or at all), which is a fair description of Perry but he has got quite close and can play very well.

I'm using the more common definition of snooker, players who basically just turn up to the venues because they can play well in the cubicles and have no/very little chance of beating the top players aka a Peter Lines, Alfie Burdn etc.

Do you think any players apart from Ronnie are good then?

In that case, I'd say Mags and Murphy could at least handle a Masters semi, especially against Allen or Perry.
