Turns out, I thought correctly.

Mostly about how it feels to play Ronnie, and the things you can do to try to stop Ronnie, like slowing the game down, putting the balls awkward or playing a very attacking game...
He also says he admires Ronnie and Higgins and learns from watching them.

That is one of the big reasons I love Snooker.
No unfair play bullocks, 99% of the players are brutally honest on the table.

The crowd have used up a good range of vocal chords today.Lots of ooghs and aaaaghs.Definately got their moneys worth.I'd give this game 9/10 with Marco contributing 0 out of that.

Over a bit quick. You could argue Ebdon was better value for seconds vs pound spent.

It's quality over quantity.Short and sweet.Leaves the crowd sated but hungry to come back for more.

Robbo just said Ronnie’s the best to ever play the game and one of the greatest sportsmen Britain has ever seen. I agree.
