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.
So, at least for the fans, there is that consolation.
