Anyone watching this then?

Watching Ronnie earlier, he really is an excitement to watch, so unpredictable, its like a breath of fresh air to the game. Some people on other forums have said his conduct during the 147 and him reluctant to pot the black at the end wasn't very gentlemanly, but this is what we have come to expect from Ronnie. He was in a mard from the previous frame, and when ronnie is in a mard, thats it!

However, what a fantastic 147. I wish i had 1/10000 of this man's talent. Very much looking forward to Jimmy Vs Ronnie in the last 32

For anyone that missed it, here is his 147: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_sports/snook...

Amazing 147! In terms of shot time it can't have been much slower than his record one surely?

I think the record was 5 min 47 sec... (expect to be wrong on this) but it was around there.... He is just incredible and he made his point about why pot the extra ball when there was only 4k in it for him

If he hadn't messed around with the Ref asking what the 147 prize was, it would of been pretty quick. Probably a few mins slower than 5m 20s mind!

It was an amazing frame and there really should be an extra award for getting the 147. It's quite an interesting tournament as well, opening it up to let anyone qualify is a great idea and I'm sure in a few years time we'll get some unknown players causing some upsets.
