Belter! did that the difficult way.

….although I once got an impressive 28 break, I have no idea about snooker but seem to recall this event happening every Easter.

World Championships?

Kirk Stevens 1984

Marco Fu 2015
Ding Junhui 2024

Mark Allen 2024

His seventh competitive maximum of his career. £15k on the line for this tournament top break, and £147k on the line for anyone making two maximums in the triple crown events this season.

Amended.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Shares the £15k with Ding. Haha.

World Championships?

….yep, I thought it happened at Easter back in the day. I’m on the rum so my thinking is probably wrong.

Have a double for me muck...

The Willie Thorne and Thorne family story for Selby there. Crackin'!

 

[Rita_Poon]

Had O'Sullivan by the unmentionables there and let him off, some mad shots and then the laughable 'granite safety'. 3-1 Ron up. Murphy with a lot to do.

 

[blue to the bone]

5..2 Ronnie now . 1 away from another major final

 

[Rita_Poon]

14 finals in 30 years...

 

[Rita_Poon]

well, sometimes there's just the impossible of beyond genius...

 

[blue to the bone]

He's just outrageous. He was very very good today.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Done, 6-2. It's inaccurate to suggest a league of his own, because he's leagues apart from the rest when at his best. A sporting phenomenon. A revelation.

Ronnie after the match haha


"I don't feel that old. I feel young in my mind. I feel a lot younger round the table when I play these younger players. They look old and their brains are quite slow. I still feel my brain is pretty quick round the snooker table, which is enough.

"They need to get their acts together because I am going blind, have got a dodgy arm and they still can't beat me."
