Hard not to suspect "help " when I see a person do things that I can't even approach.
I have been exposed to incredible natural ability and understanding that I don't have it makes me work harder.
Natural ability and help.....???

No help for Ronnie. They have drug tests
Ronnie is in the shape of a 25 year old

seemed like a long break from 17-12 to the next session.
cooled down ronnies momentum
ronnie fouled missing a red on a safety try
i guess the rules are trump could shoot any ball from where the cue ball ended up
he made the shot and is running a century now
final score 151-0 judd
this game is history for ronnie
17-13

Yeah I'm learning too. The ref called it a "free ball". He shot the brown I think it was, and it counted as 1 point (red value), then he shot a color next.

 

[markjames]

next year o’sullivan wins the 17-17
decider with a 147, against trump or robertson

 

[BeiberLvr]

When you kick at a red, miss, and leave no direct hit on any red. Your opponent can shoot a "free ball" any color on the table and it's worth 1 point.

To the Snooker exprerts in this thread, do the "bangers" in England and other Snooker areas know all the rules? Do they play the full game when socializing? Or do they bastardize the game?

Yes if you're snookered after a foul stroke you have the option of nominating a free ball, which counts the same as the ball 'on' for the purposes of that stroke. Judd could also have elected to have the balls replaced, (no chance in this instance), or to make Ronnie play out from where the balls laid.

No you dont' play the miss rule unless it's an obvious deliberate miss. It was introduced to the professional game because the pros are so good they can slyly 'just' miss and avoid selling the farm. It adds a penalty in all instances, though it is sometimes cruel it's a necessary evil at that level.

Is it the beginning of the end? Hendry bragging on him could be the jinx.
