Doug Mountjoy?

I remember way back he made something like three on the spin against Hendry, also Hendry has made seven over two days in a UK final. However, off the top of my head I can't think of any other player to have made six in one day.


For the record Hendry made 7 centuries in one day, the 1994 UK Final was Best of 19 so yeah he made those 7 in a single day.

That must be a record I think, but what I do know is that Ronnie yesterday was was close perfection at times, and no matter how Wild tries to paint it, it's always a joy to watch him or any other player for that matter playing like that, no matter what event. And like you said, Robbo was more than applauded for his centuries of centuries thing.

Also he forced himself into needing snookers in the 4th frame because he misread the screboard <laugh>
Then laid a genious snooker right after it.

MJW seems be playing well, had a 144 earlier today.

Trump has lost his first 2 matches today but seems like he'll win this one v Hawkins.

Stream better than usual and commentary. Seems wasted on a nobby event like this.

Always strikes me that the little room they play in is nice, as well.

This commentator on Trump match... Michael McMullan, or whatever his name is... not a bad comm, seems like he only commentates for CL.

I remember the 2003 World Championship that Mark Williams won quite fondly. My final year at uni, and I did as little work that weekmas possible.

Doherty's comebacks were the stuff of legend.

I found a plot about that movie, is this it?

"A man afraid to fly must ensure that a plane lands safely after the pilots become sick."

Ronnie sure made sure he landed the plane safely. rofl <ok>

That tournament was all about Doherty.

Even though MJW duly won it in a cracking Final, Doherty was the champion in many people's hearts due to his amazing comebacks.

That's the one.

The pilots, and many of the passengers, eat the fish served on the plane. The guy who lands it can do so because he ate the chicken.

Hence my joke.

That tournament was really marmite.


Robbo took Ronnie apart in that Final, won 5-1.

How that was a ranking tournament I'll never know... well it's similar to Indian Open and Grand Finals i guess...
