2020 Northern Ireland Open

[Mrman]

Best match ups now for me are Trump v Robertson / Allen / Selby. I get the feeling Ronnie will retire soon citing boredom or not interested enough. He's nowhere near as consistent anymore since he discovered running.

[Cue crafty]

i'd retire tomorrow with Rons titles, nothing left to prove,,,

ok , judd trump said about the rasson either last year or the year before that it was too fast and too easy to play on , also Fraser Patrick on here said that star's play better than riley aristocrat's but i might have got what FP said wrong though , not sure .

The Rasson is no faster or slower than any other steel block table ,it’s only as fast as the cloth and heat it has on it ,the champion of champions event is non ranking so the table does not have to conform to w p b s a standards ,I believe they were using a new trial cloth in that tournament as well ,tighter middle pockets ,slightly. Bigger corners .As for Star i’m Sure this season they are on a year by year contract now so who knows what happens next year .Maybe it’s time for different tables to be used in more events ,we have seen the pros can play on anything ,after all golfers play on different courses all the time in different conditions ,World snooker should mix it up a bit ,I would like to see more British tables used in more Uk events .With so many tournaments and qualifiers these days it’s too much money for most company’s to use and set up all these tables .The players seem to like the Rasson ,it’s made of decent laminated hardwoods with a unique levelling system
So I don’t see it not holding up well long term .

I think he'd be disappointed not to have surpassed Hendry's WC record, but you're right, he really has nothing to prove.

I believe the running has given his career an extended few years at the top,

Great idea! Sand bunker at one end of the table... turn the heating off... turn the sprinklers on, let’s mix it up a bit

They could have a caddy to pass them the rest

Yes I agree! And I think it helps with his mental health.

I'm not so sure ,I think he could go back on the old pot smoking full time and still win ,he's a natural talent ,that at his best is hard to beat ,Judd can now beat him at his best and as great as Ronnie is ,he has declined somewhat .Still, at 45 and being in the top few in World is an achievement we probably won't see anyone do again .

I don't do cloud storage thing, as my files are mine, not theirs!


now if anyone techie knows how I can (if possible) control a connected TV with my pc so I dont have to do any commands slowly, let me know
maybe start a new Off Topic thread

you're right , all those harmless photo's i downloaded into the match the old player to a newer one thread have been deleted , i’m honestly quite taken aback , just from a principle and privacy standpoint i’ll make buying a windows pc a priority now .
