Interesting start for the welsh open, cracking 146 from Ronnie.

I was a bit miffed, but he seemed in a good place in the post-match interview and for me that's all that matters. Just want to see him play and enjoy himself.

Make no mistake, in 2010 we saw the max that was nearly refused by Ronnie, this year we saw the max that was actually refused. Brilliant! <laugh>

Has Selby had a 147 attempt today? I've not followed every match.

Honestly, Ronnie is very last player who should care about money, he already made money for rest of his life.

Only £10,000, hey? I'm lucky enough that I am able to cover my bills, and still attend the odd snooker weekend. But there are a lot of people working their bullocks off all week in this country, who are struggling to eat, struggling to pay rent and struggling to live. And Ronnie thinks 10k for the few minutes work it'd take to for him to make a maximum isn't enough money? It's hard to make a case against that being a twattish comment.

Like I said, the fans have seen a 146, which is rarer than a 147. So, in that respect, they can still claim to have seen something special. I've seen three 147s in proper tournaments and two more in Snooker Legends. Not sure I've ever seen a 146. :lol: So, at least for the fans, there is that consolation.

What happened with the Messi penalty?

Did he decided the prize money for scoring a penalty wasn't enough? rofl

You get the same amount of money for making the last 64 of the Welsh Open as you would for making a maxi. <laugh>

To be honest, making a 146 isn't a big deal in itself. He made a match winning break, getting the 147 is just a bonus. That's pretty much always been my view.

Making out that £10,000 isn't a lot of money is a dumb thing to say. Especially when that's a fortune for a lot of the people who are watching him. (I'm taking people's word on here that he did say this. In fairness, I didn't hear it myself, so if he hasn't said this than I have no real problem with the 146.)
