However as a coach you probably also have to work with people who dislike Ronnie rofl


Resisting temptation to set £15 aside so I can tourist Ronnie off to Cannonball for an hour...


rofl I can see a great line of people with 15 quid in hand....

3-2.


He's the best break-builder in the biz, and Ronnie said that. His touch is immaculate (when he's on form) and he really understands cannons, stuns, stun-run-throughs intimately. Roland did a great piece on Ding's ability to make breaks look easy a while back. Worth a read. It's technical, but then so is break-building.

Are players banned from alcoholic beverages now or do they just refuse a drink? I always imagined that if I was a pro, I'd take in a hip flask full of my favourite malt and sip it out the flask neat.

I think he sounds a bit like Latka from the tv show taxi (played by Andy Kaufman).

Who would know if someone was drinking gin or vodka instead of water?

That's what I meant by third time. If we're just counting frames won requiring snookers, there were four as Mags won one of those against Judd.

It just proves that you never know what happens. I remember Selby winning a frame against Hendry after needing 5(?) snooker in the WC 2011.

Unbelievable! But this one tops the other two! And it wasn't even a great snooker.


To be fair, it was a very poor escape by Ding but what a clearance that was from Perry. Balls of steel.

Also remember that match, Hendry was bemused by all of it rofl

And dont think Ive seen a tournament, especially this early, where players have won so many frames when requiring snookers. This one that Perry won, crazy....

That's why I don't understand why people whinge when players play on for snookers. If there's enough balls on the table, why wouldn't they? Shows a desire to win.

Needed four, but Hendry got a snooker himself part way through the process.

That's one of my favourite moments in all the years I've been watching snooker. If someone had given Hendry a knife after that frame I think he would quite happily have used it to stab Selby to death with it.
