Sometimes players raise their game. I wouldn't call it squandering a big lead.

When it's one visit snooker, Trump-style, one bit of ball run and the frame is over. This is hardly squandering a lead. I've watched these matches.

re-spot!

Ronnie played well most of the match has to be said. Xiao raised his game from 3-1 down, and when he leveled Ronnie responded.

Could have been 5-5 and then who knows, but it wasn't.

Ronnie plays Maflin next, never had a pro match.

Maflin has never had a pro match? What, against anyone? :gag:

King v Astley not on live scores

I've no idea why that game's not listed! I'm taking the 'update' from the Snooker.org 'live' scores...
Time for another update? Let's go!

I do agree, especially recently.


10 - 1 a few months ago Hawkins.

6 - 0 Robbo two weeks ago


UK Final, European Masters Final just to name a few. Glad he won the UK in the end. :phew:

I think the "greatest frontrunner in the game" tag was always a fallacy anyway to be honest.

Overstated would be more accurate I suppose. Go back to any period in his career and you'll find notable instances where he's lost from being well in front.

He's humiliated plenty of opponents in the last couple of years, I honestly don't think there's much of a difference between now and then.
