He does not think he will beat Selby but likes a good semi....

I'm sure Jamie Cope made a 155 once too but i cant remember where.

I'm glad ROS got through, but i like both ROS and Williams! You can't get much different in terms of lifestyle though! Williams was eating a kebab for lunch!! :haha:

Ive always been a ronnie fan. Just amazed how easy he makes the game look sometimes and his records speak for themselves.

Jamie Burnett is only player to record a break of more than 147 in tournament play when he scored 148 in 2004, Jamie Cope has made a 155 and a 151 but both were in practice matches.

TL:DR

Are all the camera sites in the same area?

Where steve Davis does the talk in a cellar with a snooker table, is that near to the Crucible?

Sorry, if this has already been asked.

Only a few at Sheffield I think. Most are in the studio.

I've got more than one option on my red button, Snooker is definitely on there.

5-3 to Ronnie. Could have, should have been 6-2.

Anyone else see Mark Williams (successfully) play a one handed shot when getting out of a snooker the other day?

Does snooker chalk have to be blue?

he does a lot of unorthodox shots, one of the reasons he is fun to watch

For example on repotted black he quite often goes for the pot, which is against what all the experts say

I love the casual way Mark Williams plays. I reckon it’s one of the reasons he’s had a resurgence later in his career because I don’t think he’s that bothered. If it is act it’s a convincing one.
