Merkie84 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Yes it looked like the generation of young chinese players such as yan bingtao etc we’re going to be the ones to upset the old order before they all got themselves banned. I wonder if ,seeing the likes of Williams, Higgins and o’ Sullivan still competing at the highest level, if Stephen Hendry reckons he retired too early? They all went through slumps in form before coming back strong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trackdaybob Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Hendry's attempted 'comeback' answers that to a point. He was nowhere near and it's gone very quiet on that front. That said, I'm sure if he didn't retire when he did, he'd be there or thereabouts. Maybe. He'd have been sharper for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merkie84 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Yes that is what I mean, if he kept plugging away and not retired when he did, I am sure he would still be able to compete. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Hendry needed better coaching when he chucked it. He's working on different things in his game now and his YouTube channel is really good for showing you what he and other players are up to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I'd love to be a snooker player beating Ronald in front of a crowd full of his gimpy fans. Full on Mourinho at the end: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keptie Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Just now, scottsdad said: The "Come On, Wonnie!" morons are out in force toniggt. Indeed they are, moronic. I know he ain't a favourite on here but that 6-1 thumping of Ding was incredible snooker from O'Sullivan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 (edited) Ridiculous standard. He's playing better than he ever did in his twenties or thirties. Edited January 20 by Bully Wee Villa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trackdaybob Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 What a match that was. I don't think I've ever seen snooker played like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkySuperSub Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 He has a "bellendness" absolutely, but Ronnie is beyond compare for me, where other snooker players are / have been. The whole panto persona as well, it's all an act, to see people actually getting wound up about it does seem to validate his reasoning for doing it. Guy is a legend in my opinion. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 In this sort of form the only player stopping Ronnie winning another world title is Ronnie himself. That was absurd tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Still a total dickhead of a boy and I hope he loses in every match he plays. His peerless ability does nothing to endear him to me. If O'Sullivan wasn't good at snooker he'd just be know as a weirdo you wouldn't want to sit next to in the pub. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) He's a twat. He was laughing and joking to some young interviewer in China that she should suck his cock. He clearly looks down his nose at fans, and is always slagging off the game. Used to be a massive fan but can't stand him, now. He is, quite clearly, an unbelievable player, and almost certainly the best of all time. But, like Phil Taylor, it doesn't mean I have to like him.

The GOAT no doubt about that. His disrespect of the game and other players because he finds the game easier than them though is a pretty nasty trait though. If it is all an act he must be pretty weird to be getting a kick out of it, hardly a reason to validate his behaviour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trackdaybob Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 He's got out of jail there. The absolute opposite of yesterday. That last clearance though. Superb. Trump a little shakey despite the lead Looking forward to tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I think if it had gone 6-2, Trump would have won fairly easily. He's one of the few players who aren't scared of O'Sullivan. Fancy whoever wins the first frame of the evening to win the match, now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
