Not the first time Thep’s played the Williams underarm shot.

Someone should tell Dennis next time he says, “Mark’s* the only player who can play that type of shot.”

He invented it and was the first to do it, just like ROS was the first to play with his opposite hand, and now players like Trump do it on a regular basis too.

Dennis Taylor played left-handed shots in the 80s, in preference to using the rest.

But RO'S, I believe, is the first to make century breaks with either (or sometimes alternating) hands

This way the school programme wouldnt get in the way.

Didnt BBC show Snooker on BBC4 at the Worlds in August?

I just remembered this now. They should do it when their main channels cant.

Hum good question.

Probably yeah, especially considering he'd do it in his 40s. I doubt he can do it, more likely he'll win the UK Champs and win the 3 TC events.

You’d probably have to, I suppose.

He won’t, though.


It'd be interesting if the likes of Johnson,Dott or Bingham would have won a second World title. Even though Bingham obviously won a few other titles as well including a Masters.

But I'd like to see someone win more than 1 World title and barely do anything else.

They did, you're right; evening sessions only, though. For some reason, BBC4 starts at 7PM, and shuts down around midnight. always has done and this seems to be set in stone, and unchangeable. :grrr:
