Most boring player of the lot?

[elvaago]

Joking? A windup? Not at all.

His attitude bores me. Moan, whine, give up snooker, walk out of matches, I'm sick of it all. I'd rather watch Cliff Thorburn cue up a 16 cushion escape out of a snooker.

well i have stood next to ronnie playing in full flow and i don't care if his antics are childish and his attitude grates, he is without any debate the most incredible player to watch and a massive natural talent. When i watch cliff thorburn playing I never think to myself , bloody hell i wish i could do that.

I agree with elvaago. He is so boring it almost pains me. Why is watching break after break so entertaining when you know he isn't going to miss? Plus his on and off the table antics are just tiresome now.

Ha Ha, I got unkown negative rep for that post. I wonder if it was from an O'Sullivan fan?

[ADR147]

what is negative rep? and why - you might be wrong but you are surely entitled to your opinion?

[PaulTheSoave]

I got a negative rep for this comment about Eireen Williams:

"Its not easy for a respot, but I have been to some tournees and he really makes a shambles of it. Sorry. If you dont know, ask for the video, but he did not."

I know who did it. probably not having a life.

Yeah, attitude, but when at the table and he keeps his mouth shut and he's up for the match, he can be one of the most exciting players. Though in my opinion there are no boring players. I may dislike a player for some reasons, but that does not mean he is boring.

I think it s horrible to see Dave Harold play because of his strange tecnique. He always stand totally still for several seconds. When I watching on the net I´m in doubt if the connection is broken

At this years cruicible I think the worst was second session of McCulloch Hamilton.

Very true, April.

oh god a match between thorburn and charlton would only have finished a couple of years back when eddie sadly passed away!

[Ellena]

I lived long enough to "hear" this too. 'Ronnie' and 'boring' are antonyms , he can be everything ya want but not boring ... (my opinion fcourse) .

To pick one from the list i'd say Bond , and to a certain extent Ebdon , but not always.

Welcome to TSF !

Well i got one negative rep for this post too. And i think it's not hard to guess who gave it to me. I only wished ppl would sign the reps they give , i always do that!

Most boring player

Definite Higgins. He plays very negative. Not going into the pack early to make it excited. He is of course a top class player, but boring imo.

I find it strange how people's views on "what entertaining snooker is" differ so much.

Personally, I find that O'Sullivan smashing the reds open early and then just potting them, a tad boring at times. On the other hand, the old style break building, i.e. the Davis, Reardon, Spencer way, is to pick off reds, playing delightful little cannons, nudge outs, using side etc - that to me is far more enjoyable to watch. It may not be so effective as the modern day break building but in its own way, required a higher degree of skill.

How you can call John Higgins boring is beyond me. What do you expect from snooker. Great points CYRIL
