Of course Yan has 'bottle' , it takes 'bottle to wear those spat shoes ! :wink::grin:

Deciding frame and how many years experience has Neal Foulds in the game of Snooker ? A lot more than 18 years old Yan , Neil called the shot to get the Blue off the cushion and you could tell Yan was weighing up all the options and played the Yellow the get the Blue off the cushion as recommended by Neal . At 2-1 up in frames I thought Yan had him , maybe next time . :rolleyes::wink::grin:

Hi Bob !

I don't know who the commentator is but he sounds enthusiastic about the game .

I had to ask the question what language is this this because at times it sounds like he's on helium and could be cussing away but he makes me laugh at times ! :wink::D:thumbup:

The 'Devil Mode' .

There's a lot of love in and gushes of high praise and admiration of Ronnie O'Sullivan on various forums and threads etc etc blah de blah.....

The 'Devil Mode' .

Ronnie O'Sullivan has it , Stephen Hendry had it and in his era Steve Davis had it . Neal Foulds , Alan McManus and Stephen Hendry tried to explain it so let me have a go .

The 'Devil Mode' is when the Snooker table turns into a Chess board and the cue ball becomes the White Queen and the black ball becomes the Black King and the reds can be any piece you like and on the baize table every shot selection is correct and every safety is played to perfection . The check mate is the win .

Ronnie played 'The Devil Mode' V Marco Fu at the 2018 Masters then got knocked out in the next round , also V Xiao Guodong at the Grand Prix , Yan Bingtao had chances to beat Ronnie and Stephen Maguire had him contained at 3-1 up until his brainstorm rest shots . Ding Junhui was a spent force when the Final began so I'm in no rush to run to Da' Bookies to bet Ronnie to win the World's at 7/2 Fav . Players are improving and then there's the draw etc but a quick glance at the odds .

Hi alphadog !

Ronnie seems to give players he likes a chance to beat him.
Appears that he is very interested in the "Grand Centuries".

The beads are moving towards the 1,000 century breaks , just a matter of time before Ronnie O'Sullivan reaches that target but records are set to be broken so I wonder who will break this one when it's set ! :wink::thumbup:

The Selby Syndrome.....

Bob Jewett said:
Poor Ding. He had been Selbyized.

Mark Selby has a habit of transforming into a Vampire and sucking the life blood out of opponents , win or lose and the audience to sleep .

Mark Selby V Ding Junhui match was just 10 minutes or so shy of 5 hours , meanwhile back at the hotel no doubt Ronnie had his feet up with a few beers watching the football , rugby and boxing asking a mate what's the Selby V ding score man ? Oh really ? :wink::grin-square:

Might 've been a better Final if Ding Junhui had the day off before the final 1 :wink:

Ding , Ding , Ding , BOOM !

Ding's had a bad day at the office in more ways than one , let me explain .

Ronnie asked Ding the questions in the Final and he had no answers and lost by 7 Frames , 10-3 to finish runner up .

Ding Ding the horse ran in the 16.55 at Fontwell on Sunday so how did it get on ?

So bad day at the office for Ding the snooker player beaten by 7 Frames and Ding Ding the horse beaten by 4 1/2 lengths . I wonder if ding Junhui has shares in this horse but it's kinda spooky that when he wins the horse wins etc.....:eek::wink::grin:

For the first time in a long time a Mark Selby V Ding Junhui match never sent me to sleep ( I would'a be Ding to win 6-4 so I saved a quid .) but Dng's head was gone in the Final , that was a miss-match .

congratulations Ronnie O'Sullivan . Well plaed , best player all week by far ! :cool::grin-square:
