Great youtube video! Strickland vs. Ronnie O'Sullivan!

Mosconi Cup, from back in the early days: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wGNfA_9EtQ

The shot that Earl pulls off at 4:05 shows how dangerous he is when he's in top form. Fearless!

Big difference then and now on Earl. Notice when he missed or got a little out of line he just bore down to get back in line...not have a PMS attack. When he missed he sat down right away and shut-up. I still say Earls bigest problem now is that he can't come with the 8 and 9 foot shots anymore and the players know it. So they just leave hime long for a safe and most of the time he will miss or botch the safety. It's a shame. I wonder if he has had his eyes checked lately by a GOOD eye doctor? Thanks for the link Steve. Johnnyt

Man they should still have to wear those snazzy electric boogaloo vests

I get a kick out of those early Mosconi and Patriot Cup vests. Archer always looked the most ridiculous, I think.

Well, they certainly didn't dawdle around; I ALWAYS enjoy watching players who play at a fast pace. Very enjoyable.

Thanks for the link.

Not 1 piece of lint was removed. Proposterous!

What about the kick in the 5:15 area? He didnt get out either time though.

i have the full video.
there's a segment where ronnie got really careless in this match. he hit the 6 ball before the 5. (talking about getting eyes checked)
even earl had a bit of laugh.

lol, that's classic. I admit I've done that before when practicing with friends. Thankfully I've never done it in a tournament with spectators and a TV crew!

It's probably the first time he played. I expect everyone gets the order wrong at first. It happens at snooker on the baulk colours - the correct sequence is yellow-green-brown. The other three are obvious due to their spot positions.

I notice Ronnie was playing with a snooker cue too. It's thin enough and seems to have a brass ferrule and classic joint and butt splices.
