You mean against Ronnie, or just generally.

I hate these players giving it their best. The audacity of a professional player trying to win a game. :grrr:

The only screaming queen is you.


It's a good show, but you probably need to be into horror movies a bit to enjoy it.

Maybe not though. I'd watch the first season first, if I weer you.

It's annoying to the point where they only do this once in a lifetime performance just... ONCE! It's not only against Ronnie of course, but he has been on the receiving end of some. Then their return to their journeyman status.

I've watched one and dozed off halfway through.

The last decent horror show I saw was Stranger Things on Netflix.

Is it once with Kurt Maflin? Weren't we saying that he 'nearly beat Selby' earlier.

Besides, it can't be that annoying if you're watching it impartially. I always thought Lu Ning's performance against Shaun Murphy at the 2012 China Open meant he was going to be the future of snooker. I just googled him, he's not currently playing snooker. <laugh> At the same time, it's a match which stuck with me and I feel honoured to see that performance. Shaun didn't know what hit him.

I'm not upset at Lu for producing it.

That's what I was driving at. You're not annoyed that he's playing well, you're annoyed that he's doing it against Ronnie.

Anyway, I'm 'working'. What's the score?

Mate, Im just saying how it is. Of course its quite annoying from a topplayers point of view when a journeyman is playing to a very high standard against you and then dropping to his usual low standard the next match despite playing a much weaker opponent than the opponent he beat a round before.
