Does Neal Foulds count as a pundit? He's in the studio sometimes.


Would classify him as more of a commentator personally


Yeah, you're probably right.

Agreed - but she is an average referee at best.

Shame that didn't happen.

I'd rather see Hendry there than Jimmy getting his bottom smacked again.

Hendry in a proper tournament with the top players would be a bit of a dream match after all these years away.

Henry would have got his bottom smacked too.

Season will start soon and we know 127 out the 128 tour players.

Will Barry gives a Wild Card to the guy who loose a best of 9 leading 4-0 against Jimmy ?

Did,nt watch the Final,but have just seen the scores.

Jimmy was 4-0 down but comes back to win 5-4!,that really is amazing. :clap: :dizzy: :dizzy: :bowdown:


It,s a very rare feat that a player comes back from 0-4 to end up winning 5-4.


Without lookin up,2 examples spring to mind.

I can recall where Hendry came back from being 0-4 down,to end up beating Campbell 5-4.

And i think Ronnie once came back from 0-4 down,to end up beating Higginson 5-4,at the German Masters,he actually ended up winning that tournament which sparked him back to life.


Many congrats to the Whirlwind!. :hatoff: <ok>

Thats a great question, it clearly asks is one world championship worth more than 6 World championship finals and a UK & a Masters title...

Not sure i could take 6 finals defeats but know i could live with one World title. Only a character like Jimmy could survive that and live on and still play like he did tonight. Legend!!


How is this even a question??

Jimmy's career all day long. He is a legend of the game.

Hello HF :hyper: Do you remember when Hendry also lost to Campbell 9 nil? :wave:

The word ignominious was invented for such a defeat.

<laugh> <laugh>

Just joshing. :win:

On a serious note, really ace to see the Bairn taking it seriously again with Sightright coaching... could there be a swansong in his career? I truly hope so. He's far too good not to be playing decent snooker.

Good morning Dan-Cat,


I actually forgot bout that 9-0 spanking,ta for bringing it up again though.


Check this out,......


,....... https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/sno ... 86150.html



Outta curiosity,i just looked up the H to H btween the 2,did,nt expect to see what it says.



They only ever played on 3 occasions and Campbell beat Hendry on 2 occasions,he almost beat him all 3 times.

https://cuetracker.net/head-to-head/mar ... hen-hendry





It,s indeed gonna be very intrestin to see what Hendry decides to do.


I dunno if he,s gonna be willing to put the practice in as well as make the odd adjustments though.



Oh,another thing bar his comeback against Campbell that i can also recall,i can recall WHEN HE WENT ON TO WIN THE WORLDS FOR A RECORD BREAKING 7TH TIME!!!!!!! and it wasnae long after his 9-0 spanking.

:win: :win: :win: :win: :win: :win: :win:

:happy:



Well,thats all yur buckin gettin fae me for the mom,gotta go,the missus has just yelled at me again,she,s cooked some beans on toast. :wave: :-D

Jimmy’s not a legend just because of his career, though. In fact career-wise he’s legendary as a loser.

The fact that Jimmy never won the World Championship should not detract from him standing among the greats. He must be inside the all-time Top 10, albeit with a couple of world titles maybe a couple of places higher.

He was unfortunate insofar he came up against Davis in a final, Hendry in four and a virtually unplayable Parrott in 91. With the greatest respect to Ronnie (or rather his opponents), his world titles came against Higgins (ok - fair enough that was tough!), Dott, Carter (twice), Hawkins and Wilson. It's just bad luck for Jimmy that he was around at the wrong time.

Yes, that drubbing probably spurred him on to that 7th. Although I recall there was something wrong with his tip. It's such a strange result for him.


He had the yips. I know this because he told us all.

Eh, Doherty and Ebdon beat Hendry, Dennis and Johnson beat Davis. Jimmy should have won at least two of his finals. I think bad luck is an excuse, to be honest.

I wasn't talking about Doherty or Ebdon - the example I gave was Ronnie's final opponents.
