Needle


I forget what that needle was about now.

Did Kyren forget to congratulate Judd on buying a new pair of shoes, or something?


Never mind. Found it.

I must've just blanked out Judd's nonsense from my memory.

Just looking at the Mark Williams vs Neil Robertson head-to-head, because I don't really remember seeing them play much before.

https://cuetracker.net/head-to-head/mar ... -robertson

They've played a lot of short matches, a few best of sevens. A load of Championship League matches, and a Premier League one. But not many matches longer than that.

They only seem to have played five matches against each other longer than best of seven, two of which were at The Masters.

Funny how some people seem to play each other loads of times a season, and others less so. I'd probably have expected more from two such successful players.

Are you brain dead or just susceptible to hype without substance?

I've seen many great snooker matches played at The Masters.

Paul Hunter vs MJW in 2002 and vs Ronnie in 2004, Ronnie vs Higgins in 2005 and 2006 and Ronnie vs Selby in 2009 and 2010 come to mind. All great finals. And don't forget Davis vs Ronnie in 1996 and MJW vs Hendry in 1998.

Trump vs Wilson semi last year was great as well.

I’ve seen some great matches in the Welsh Open, too.

I just have many great memories of watching The Masters. Really enjoyed a lot of finals. Also, Ronnie's my favourite player and he seems to like it a lot as well. He's played some of his very best snooker at The Masters and of course he won it a record seven times. Paul Hunter's finals were brilliant as well.

I'm surprised it was only you. I thought more people would vote Ronnie, no matter who he was playing.

I think the two that are winning are the two that deserve it though.

Though I'm looking forward to Ding vs Lisowski as well. That could be a belter.
