Now I’ll go into essay… sorry for that to all who don’t care much about snooker - Blame Kingfreze, not me :).
Yes, well – seeing Championships while being there at the same time :) is definitely one of my dreams, but as it is with many dreams, cruel reality smashes it with every other thing I need to throw my money at. But, I’m not giving up, I know things will come in place someday. Until then, I’ll just continue to envy every single person in that audience :)
Awww, Ronnie. He looks so disinterested – yes, he always did, but it’s somehow different now and that is a real shame because snooker doesn’t get much better than Ronnie at the top of his game. He always is my favorite, no doubt. And he didn’t play all that bad at the UK’s, it was just that Allan was playing great. We’re just not used to average Ronnie, I guess and he is only human.
Besides him, Williams than Higgins are pretty safe bets for the final. And imagine if Hendry would wake up from the dead :). Right. I just don’t like the way Robertson plays, don’t know why – he just annoys me. I just hope someone will find something extra to stop Robertson before the final – it obviously can be done. Maybe Selby is “old enough” for this year’s final. I hope he makes it.

Agree with most of what you said there. And Hendry coming back to win another world title would be amazing. He still has the game in him, but lacks the consistency these days.
I don't like Selby though. He has 2 styles
1) his own
2) ebdon style grinding.
Also did you see his new hairstyle at the masters? Looks like someone straight out of the 1920s!...

I was way into teenage life to have been able to see Hendry at his prime, so every time now he produces some shiny moment, I hope – this is it, I’ll see the genius he is! But, you’re 100percent right – consistency really is the key, not only for Hendry.
Hehe…the weird Ebdon part is what I like about Mark Selby, he is just not clinical about the game like Robertson, for example, is. And the hair…well, guess he wanted to grow up to be a footballer when he was a kid, but all he’s got left now is “footballer’s style” :-) When we’re going there – what about Mark Allan’s highlights? :-)
I mentioned Selby mostly as an example of a player who at least shows some signs of inventive play… what do you think about Chinese players this year?
So glad I found someone who knows what I’m talking about when I mention anything snooker related, King :-D I see a friendship on the horizon :-)

No, I'm not too keen on Robertson myself. Both him and Dott fell apart in last years world championship final. It was so boring, I was asleep before the end which is very unlike me.
There's only 2 players in the game thoguh that I really can't stand: Ebdon and Allen. Ebdon for obvious reasons and Allen is just so 'big headed', and then suggesting Ronnie should retire was a step too far.
Whilst I like the Chinese players, I hope none of them win the world championship or become world no 1, as I can see the worlds leaving Sheffield for Beijing :-(. Liang Wenbo is always good to watch, Ding is a little inconsistent and Fu seems to have been around forever but not done much. I'm a little bit worried about when the 'older' players retire (namely Higgins, Ronnie, Williams, Hendry etc) the game might not be worth watching as theres not much difference between the rest.
Talking about Marco Fu actually... Its a shame Mark King went out of the Masters so early. I mean, what a Fu-King final that would have been!!!
8-| sorry.

Nice one about Marco-King final :-) That was for a real life lol!
And yes, I always get the same thought when BBC commenters mention how millions of Chinese are watching the tournament when, for example, Ding reaches a final. To quote the South Park “We all saw the Olympic opening ceremony”, meaning – things we love could just easily become something completely strange to us, as the whole snooker philosophy probably is to those millions of Chinese. Fu, on the other hand is from Hong Kong and that makes a big difference. But yes, he needs to improve a lot of segments of his game.
I’m sure you remember the epic Ronnie-Hendry match when Ronnie conceded. He felt he wasn’t at his best and I know he respected both Hendry and the Championships to continue playing on poor level. And then comes some hot-head like Allen who doesn’t get the point at all. So, who knows what we will be watching in years to come. I just hope some Ronnie like talent will show up soon.
