Daisy1903 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 2 hours ago, elephantstone78 said: Agree, he pretends he doesn’t care about winning and it’s all about cue action and similar nonsense but it’s complete bollocks. Hendry definitely went downhill after last world title but hung around the top 16 or 32 for a good decade after, he most certainly didn’t retire soon after. https://cuetracker.net/players/stephen-hendry/tournament-record Didn’t realise he has made a fairly recent ill fated comeback. Embarrassing stats and should probably stick to commentary and the senior circuit. Yeah I probably should've said gave up rather than retired. I practised in the same club as him as a kid. He went from playing 6/7 hours a day 6 days a week to a couple of hours every other day after winning that 7th. And his comeback is a joke. Puts in no effort and should have his tour card taken off him. Link to comment

Yeah he keeps saying it's not a comeback. God knows what it is then. He'll be getting nothing in prizemoney really but he'll get a lot in sponsorship and exposure for his youtube channel Link to comment
Snelders Snottters 89 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Snooker is not as good without Ronnie! Fuckin idiots! Link to comment
YorkDon Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Thought Hendry got the snooker version of the yips? It totally destroyed his confidence.He also got older and lost his hunger for it. Ronnie appears to be phoning it in most of the time, and also has his own demons. The current crop of players appear overawed by him, and half beaten before the first frame. Link to comment
minijc Posted Monday at 10:00 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:00 PM A good bit of snooker there. Link to comment
Reed or deed Posted Monday at 10:04 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:04 PM Fucking brilliant for Higgins there. He’s got some bottle, he was properly on the brink in that match. Link to comment
maryhilldon Posted Monday at 10:33 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:33 PM Brilliant clearance. That double on the red was death or glory, and the red to get up for the baulk colours was some shot. Link to comment

He has lost a good few meaningful last frame deciders incl a couple of finals iirc in the past few years so good to see him get through. Link to comment
The Boofon Posted Wednesday at 03:37 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:37 AM Shame he's such a match fixing cheating cunt. Snooker has lost it's edge these days. Needs a couple more flair players in the game. 1 Link to comment

O'Sullivan as big an arsehole as he is makes it exciting. Higgins etc. just a grind watching them sometimes. Robertson mixes it up a bit and is a big miss this time round. Link to comment
Reed or deed Posted Thursday at 10:07 AM Share Posted Thursday at 10:07 AM Oh look, 3 englishmen in the semi finals. Who would ever have predicted that given it’s just another sporting event that has to always take place in england. Time some of these events were shared across europe and the world so the nigels don’t have such an advantage. English bastards. Link to comment
The Cockney Don Posted Thursday at 10:48 AM Share Posted Thursday at 10:48 AM Ooooooo those pesky Ingloids. Worse than Weegies and the Welsh. Link to comment
maryhilldon Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago The most uninteresting last 4 lineup in WC history. All the top ranked players going out early has ruined it for me. Link to comment

Baying for foreign blood. Link to comment
