The best commentator in my lifetime of watching this game, he never wasted a word and never over talked, only ever delivered pearls of speech with immaculate timing. Rest in peace Clive, you will be missed but always remembered. ❤
Let’s get to the facts . Snooker was on its last legs before Hearn took over . Fact. So you have to admire what he has achieved for the game and the players , fact. Know matter how good a player is in any sport , they are not bigger than that sport , Fact . O’Sullivan, had his chance at the Norbreck castle hotel qualifiers, when the game was opened up to any body that wanted to pay £500 to turn professional and then £100 per comp & £300 to enter the world championship. Without that opportunity for players , it would have taken years for the dead would to drop out of the top 128 . Fact. Hearn is right . Why should there only be 64 pros ? Just because it suits Mark Allen and the top 16. Sounds like he’s scared of dropping down the rankings . Why should the top 16 be guarded ? It has been proven already when there has been an FA cup style draw . That the players Lower down the rankings , can beat players in the top 32. My real worry with snooker is that in another 10 years time , snooker will be like table tennis was , and the Chinese players will dominate the top 64. This could kill snooker ? But by that time Barry Hearn will be well gone ,-and so will the Rocket. To get shut of the Crucible, would be CRIMINAL, get a life Hearn . Greed is the end of all walks of life . Just look at the world today . All this countries fighting over oil and land , and killing human beings . Snooker is the least of our worries , the next 20 years will be crucial to man kind . Simples. As Michael Van Gerwin would word it . And by the way that is now the sport to watch , snooker is like watching a 5 day test match compared to Darts . Long live the ROCKET V the FORCE Peter Ebdon ,,, and we all remember that match . It just shows that O’Sullivan is not unbeatable. He is happy when things are going his way . Let him have is breakaway with John Higgins, Hendry , Mark Williams Mark Allen etc , it won’t last two minutes., and it’s all bull , instigated by Barry Hearn , so that Dubai and china offer more money. I bet Barry Hearn and O’Sullivan are best mates really , and get together on the quiet , to plot how to keep snooker on the front page of the Newspapers . I bet Hearn tells Ronnie , what bull sh… to come out with next ???? Just a thought ????
I wish I had whatever Ronnie had thrown into the crowd! That's definitely a conversation starter! A Guinness world record fastest 147 ever. Im sure no one will ever beat Ronnie's fastest time! Its seems impossible to beat!
Jo Insan khud King Star hota hai wo phr Tinday tomator ko like ni krta wo Asal King Star ko he like krta hai Gando k bacho gushati k bacho In sab sy zaida Duniya Mai nam hai Mera Ezat Allah ny di hai mujy Tum kiyo Jalty ho Munafiqo Khuda apni Marzi sy apny piyaro k sardari dyta hai Tum kiyo Jalty ho
That first red at 2.01 is simply incredible. Stephen realises that Ronnie's safety play is inch perfect, and will lead to an opening for Ronnie, so Stephen who instinctively was always an attacking player, decides, no, attack, go for it, turn it in your favour. Even then, that red was a very difficult pot, even if it had been in a no pressure situation, but Stephen had nerves of steel and an unshakeable belief in his ability to make the shot, and that pot on the red and 147 clearance in a deciding frame demonstrates his brilliance and pure class at that time. Astonishing.
He is not that good others are better mark Allen judd Trump Williams Wilson more hungry for snooker and others I would love to play him the attitude prick and cocky like all cockneys
Steve came along at the right time. Many of he game's best players were getting old, & most of them were probably in two minds about whether or not they should work at their game like they did when they were younger. Steve virtually took over the sport, & it happened very quickly.
