Ali Carter battered in two world finals,Nobody potting em off the lampshades so ronnie has potential to settle down and rack up the wins.



Looks good for semis at least <ok>

For sure man <ok>
I would like to see him go further but this is the real world and a victory over marcus campbell is a walk in the park compared to what could possibly lie in wait for him.

I will be honest in the past i disliked ronnie but that was due to a certain forum admin who was a spacer and put any non ronnie fan off ronnie with his BS.

That is fair enough mate,Not everybody is everybodys cup of tea as people.

Ronnie is quite a straight up and down fella with a god given talent,

I have disliked Ronnie myself at times when he has opened his gob too much or made rash decisions in matches.

When Ronnie is unhappy he is a very vulnerable person,But a nice person deep down and a cracking exponent of the game.

has fu made any notable comebacks at crucible before ?


Think he came back from 15-9 to 16-16 the year he made the semis, but ultimately ended up losing. Still shows he can get back into the match. Can't think of any others.

It was very candid wasnt it.
I also think he showed a tremendous amount of bottle on coming back to snooker.

You know Ronnie is the break-building king and Neil Robertson is the long pot king.

They have their roles in snooker.It makes it interesting to watch m8. <ok>

hope milkins plays better oin round 2 than mags conqueror


Hello Gj,

Indeed. Mags has taken years off my life. Dopey Decha wasnt missing much though to be fair to be him especially medium/long distance pots. I knew he'd be turd against White though. Typical.
