Title: Snooksy
Post by: oxford_fan on Monday, May 7, 2012, 10:29:11
I watched bits of the snooker yesterday, and was fortunate enough to be when O'Sullivan did this.

It's the best frame of snooker I've seen, absolutely incredible. Just look at where the balls are when he begins the break.

I was watching this yesterday, it's insane how he gets that break. On the archives bit as well it shows his 147 break in 5 minutes  :eek:

He plays anywhere near his best in the rest of the final, he wins easy.

That frame was a bit special. Snooker needs the Ronnie's of the game. If it wasn't for his ability at self-destruction he would (he should anyway) be in the same bracket as Tiger, Federer, Pele, Senna, etc. Talent like that doesn't come along often.

I was sure last season, or perhaps the one before, he'd lost it again and was, as usual, considering retirement. Glad he's back to his best.

Didn't see the snooker, more of a football fan really.
You soon lost interest in football didn't you.
Wonder why ?

Well a deserved win for Ronnie.
Nice to see him with Ronnie Jr at the end.

He's still the best by miles when he can be bothered, the last 2 weeks show that, but anyone else getting bored of his constantly going on about jacking it in?

Half hoping Barry Hearn calls his bluff and tells him to do one

I can see where he is coming from though, hope he doesnt quit seeing as he is the only player who can make something happen out of nothing

Love watching him play, it still fucking amazes me that he is as capable left handed as he is right handed. Anyone who has ever tried to play snooker with their opposite hand can appreciate how difficult this is.

I agree about his constant moaning when he was being interviewed during the tournament, was pissing me off listening to him go on about how he has fallen out of love with the game, how the tournament isn't that special and The Crucible isn't the best venue, yada, yada, yada.

Oh, and that frame that oxford_fan mentions in his first post was amazing, how he cleared the table from there I don't know.
