They could introduce a Power Play where the player gets double points for everything he pots in the next minute. Or they could introduce chicks in thongs playing. They wouldn't pot anything, because snooker is hard, but who would mind?

Some brilliant snooker played in the final. Good breaks and great potting, frames taking about fifteen minutes then that frame that lasted over an hour. Still great to watch. The safety play and snookers and the players getting out of them is as impressive as the long pots. The frame that put Bingham 16-15 up lasted about 65 minutes and was absolutely enthralling. Very pleased for Bingham, he seems like a decent bloke too. |

Or a toaster in the shape of a car.

I must admit I've always found Ronnie O'Sullivan a difficult bloke to like. To be fair to him he is without doubt the best natural snooker player the world has ever seen, who makes it look effortless and is streets ahead of the next best when on his game.
That said, he is never far from being a massive cunt imo. If he's not pratting about with someone's shoes while in the middle of a game, or putting his chalk on the table, or saying how snooker bores him and he can't be arsed anymore or crashing his car with his 6 yo son in it while speeding down the M6 after losing the World Final, now he's deliberately fucked up a potential 147 at the Welsh Open because the £10,000 apparently wasn't worth it.
What about all those people who'd paid good money to be there in the audience and were desperately hoping to be able to go home saying that they'd seen one of the rarest of snooker events live and in person? Did you think of them at all, Ronnie? Even £100,000 is nothing to you I'm sure, you must be a millionaire several times over with all the exhibitions, endorsements, sponsorships and prize money you've won and you do something like that.
I'll be cheering on all your opponents from now on I think, even if it robs the tournament of the most exciting player in it.
Prick.

I agree with him turning down the maximum if that's what he chooses. £10k is a small amount for achieving one of the ultimate pinnacles in sport... Besides, it roll over with every comp on the circuit so he said (to the effects) he'd rather let it build up and have a crack at it another time when it's worth more £. It's not like he's influencing any outcome of trying less hard, he still won the frame with a total 146 clearance  ? |

Good point. And fuck the paying public with their once in a lifetime chance of seeing a 147. They don't deserve to see him try to do it unless it's worth his while, right!
The blokes an arsehole. Read his twitter account, blathering on about some conman or other. Embarrassing
"It's like going into a Mercedes garage and when they say that you can have the car for £3,000, you reply, 'No way, that's too cheap. I'm not buying it for that'. What a fucking tit ;D

What a fucking tit ;D It's not like hes not tried, he's done a complete 146 clearance, pretty much as worthy as a 147... If I was in the crowd this would be more memorable to me as an event than him making a 147! |

I think the snooker should be like the darts where people dress up and cheer and all that malarkey.

Snooker is for lads who can't get a woman to fuck. It's boring ... Piss boring.
