Every dog has his day! But, this cat Ronnie will have many nights on the center stage with His hands raised in VICTORY!

Like I just posted in the Carom section, God help us if He ever takes up 3C professionally!
 
God help us if anybody ever takes up 3cushion again...Let it RIP! :rolleyes:

PS..Ronnie is way too smart to bother learning a game thats been dead for 60 yrs.! :embarrassed2:

Some 'players' heads aren't shaped right for thinking! :rolleyes:

Like an old broken down 1P player! :sorry:

I'm pretty sure Ronnie O can handle it.
 
Like I said, give me one good reason why he would bother? :embarrassed2::embarrassed2::embarrassed2:

PS..Some players heads are only shaped for learning extinct boring games. Thats why most big matches now are one pocket :rolleyes:

Surely you realize the 'world', (meaning Europe, Asia, the US, etc.) is almost entirely geared for nothing but pocket billiard games these days, be it snooker or 8, 9, 10 ball!..Any other billiard game is in a distant 2nd place!..South America is the only place barely clinging to billiards, in popularity!..Its been that way for over 50 yrs. now! ..Reason being, like 14.1, billiards is extremely boring for spectators..Thats what led to their demise! :rolleyes:

The fact is Ronnie several yrs back had a heart felt moment for Ding when he beat him yrs ago he had a heckler thrown out of the area Ding was seen often with a towel over his head Ronnie consoled the young Ding took him into is arms and hugged him and gave him words of confidence and said after that he was going to win a world championship,, he has great admiration for Ding and I'm not so sure it didn't play a part in this match, a spade knows a spade these 2 guys are very much alike very emotional just look at Ding resting his head on Ronnie's shoulder that's as real as it gets great great stuff ,
It's easy to see why snooker is the best cue sport on the planet bar none

I'm sorry sir..It must be tough being one of very few billiard die hards on this forum, trying to breath life into a long dead game! ...I never said it wasn't still played in certain places, I'm just saying pocket billiards (in any form) is far and away more popular!..Does that make me a fool for noticing that.:confused:

PS..I'm glad you got to showcase your love for the game..nothing wrong with that! ;)

The 146 was sensational. Most enjoyable total clearance I've seen in a long time. Played with total freedom - Ronnie might have lost the match but he was enjoying himself out there.

I wouldn't be surprised if he plays a bit of 3C in his later years. I'm also convinced he has a few professional pool tournaments left in him.

I love watching world class 3-C but just as Joe Rogan said, people like to see balls fall in the hole.
The Rocket makes a great living playing snooker. 3-C would not interest him at all. It would just ruin his stroke. Way different stroke and game.
I did see Efren play 3-c upstairs at the old Hollywood Billiards back in '96 using his Meucci. And I kid you not. Hell, he was eating chicken wings and drinking brandy while he was in action. He told me the last time he played 3-C was some 9 years ago that night. :eek:
And still won 35-31 for $200.

It does because your still attempting to make it seem as though billiards are near extinct when you clearly know nothing about it
