Stephen Maguire – 21 points
Matthew Stevens – 22 points

might as well say "pints" in their case. if they had treated it like a sport and not pissed away their careers in hotel bars they probably would've won the WC. no hate, i liked both in their prime.

ding i guess became too rich at a young age. not hungry enough. it's been said he's the most financially successful cueist in the world (most of which is endorsements/sponsor money). i guess what he did do, with the academy, has been very helpful for others though.

https://www.sportinglife.com/snooke...-ever-in-world-championship-semi-final/231832

Wake up folks the longest frame in Crucible history is all over and yes i watched some of that but with 8 reds and the black over the pocket and the crowd going woo woo i decided the time was right to have a bath , dinner of potatoes , broccoli and chicken and go to bed and listen to how the frame played out on the radio .

it was either that or fall asleep at the TV !
