Players Championship 2019

[trying]

I also noted later in the match when Barry was at the table and needed extns on the extended rest and his cues extn, that the referee reminded him (Barry) that he needed to pass him the rest! Given that Barry had to dismantle everything this request seemed a little bit early yet again and I think Barry's face notes this. (Almost looks like he thinks "give me a chance will you!!)

Anyone else get a view on that one?

I thought the same. Over zealous referee.

I think it was that which rattled Ronnie on the colour nomination too. I'm not saying Ronnie was right in getting stroppy though.

I was thinking that the fist pump was because there had been a bit of previous and Ronnie didn't want to shake his hand.

I thought a fist bump was an action of endearment?

Yeah agreed. Just thought it strange thing to do. Traditional handshake is normal etiquette. Is Ronnie that friendly with Terry that he decides to do "an act of endearment"?
Difficult to work out what's in Ronnie's mind at times. I remember him taking the hump with Marcel Echhard for no apparent reason. Just think he didn't like him.
Oh well never mind.

My theory is that it is all about Barry Hearn. Every time Barry says something like 'the game would survive without/ isn't all about one player', Ronnie does something to show that he is different and is treated different to other players. I think he thinks he's done a lot for the game, and is after what he thinks the game owes him- which isn't part of Barry Hearns script.

I don't care for Ronnie off the table (although the Australian accent did make me laugh), but I can certainly tolerate him more than Bazza.

[Cue crafty]

It's all about the #ranking points mate!! Good on ya cobba!!

[vmax]

Mountains and molehills come to mind, anything to have a go at the bloke, still if we didn't have this dumb arse miss rule none of this crap would happen.

Even Hendry couldn't keep a straight face

Yeah. It would appear that BH / WS have a lot to do with ROS' attitude...

Agree with the miss rule. There has got to be a better way or better ruling?
What that is, who knows...

[The Boss]

We'll never know if Willie Thorne has a big willy :biggrin-new:

This Selby vs Higgins match is zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Hey]

Ever notice how Selby is constantly smoothing the cloth with his hand, like he's manipulating the playing field to get an advantage

He's not smoothing the cloth at all, he's brushing away the chalk

Ever notice how John isn't constantly wiping the chalk away with his hand. It's like he's purposely leaving them to gain an advantage.

Gilbert is in front. I didn't expect such a close match.
