Starting to think the WPBSA need to look into match fixing with Ronnie.
A betting company (cant remember which 1) were offering odds on if Ronnie will get his 1,000 Century this week.
He had the foul yesterday and today on 99 he had a blue that he could easily of potted rushed it and missed.
In his interview afterwards he said he doesnt want the 1,000th this week.
Seems very very odd to me
Give over! He wants it at the Worlds, thats not match fixing as he has already won the frames....
Just because a betting firm was offering odds he would hit the 1000 this week, he has no obligation or ties to this. As far as i am concerned there cant be Match (Key word) Fixing just for someone not hitting centuries even if deliberate....
My mates have said he has sort of just been bashing balls about this week, i cant really comment as i haven't watched it, disrespectful by the sounds of it.
Stretching it a bit Paulie, I think he's being a dickhead but don't think it's anything to do with betting. I think he wants the 1000th at the Crucible.
Also live on Eurosport in HD. Not seen it before. They don't get long for a shot which makes it more exciting I think. Not sure about putting the white anywhere after a foul though...
Might watch it, do enjoy it but just annoys me how its considered a ranking event. Its a totally different game so should be treated as an exhibition. Different rule set so why can it still hold a ranking title?
Winner of the shootout and some bonus ranking points.... Thepchaiya Un-Nooh beat Michael Holt 74-0 in the final He got the record high break in the snooker shooutout in the semi final 139 vs Jamie Clarke A youngster Ryan Davies made the 4th round 16yo born April 2002 :O
Indian Open this week, current champ John Higgins. This event was initially due to take place in September 2018 but due to flooding in the Kerala region it was postponed and will now take place from February 27 to March 3.
Snooker updates will begin properly tomorrow for anyone interested.
Just qucikly tho earlier this week Zhou Yuelong got his first 147 and snookers 150th
Also the Indian Open final is starting soon, not a great event really and the final is best of 9 which for a final is poor and shows how little this event is IMO
