Lew-T Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Won it tonight against Judd 10-7. Cracking game between two of the current best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziderarmy Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 The best to ever have picked a cue up. A natural talent. We’re fortunate to be living in the same era snooker wise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Snooker is very much minority, but the talent he has is ridiculous. He is miles better than the next best, when he is on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s hard to put into words the talent he possesses. His left hand game is probably good enough to be a top 16 player which is also simply absurd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on both points. That said, it's pretty shocking that there seems to have been no new generation of talent come through to really challenge him. That the likes of Mark Williams and Higgins are still near the top of the game at coming on for 50 shows a dearth of talent in the wider game. I really like Robert Milkins (Bemmie Down boy) but he's 47 and has had all kinds of health problems including battling alcoholism, but is still a top 16 player. The sport is still pretty much dominated (in terms of numbers at the top of the rankings) by players from one country: England. Ronnie is a genius but I believe he has made the point himself, that the overall standard in snooker (particularly outside the top 16) is pretty poor. Sadly, without him, it'll probably continue to decline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 O’Sullivan is regarded by every other profession snooker player as the GoaT and no one can dispute that. He has to be short odds on winning the World Championship this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange that isnt it? Considering the sport has been very popular in China for more than a decade, and we have only seen a few Chinese players break through. Apparently 50M players pick up a cue in China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slartibartfast Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 Brilliant player, yes, but a crappy human being ! I can't stand to look at him when between shots. His ugly gurning prune face and constantly picking his nose and ears.......ugh ! Can't stick his loud mouth fans either ! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
