    Deffo looks like he got it wrong. Wouldn’t be the first time. Mind you TV camera angles can be deceiving.

        yep I believe he announced it on Sunday - so no time to get someone else in for the opportunity.
        As usual using the cover-all of "mental health issues" so wont get fined.

        I have seen many people predicted this - probably before Ronnie knew himself
        I think WPBSA and WST should now look at the rest of the events this season and have a standby notified and ready to go, for the next time (or should that be "when"?) Ronnie drops out the night before day 1.
        A bit difficult when there had been qualifying rounds though I suppose.
        Up the TSF! :snooker:

          That’s true enough. The number of times I’ve been convinced a ball β€˜doesn’t go’ only to see it from the floor camera and you could get the proverbial bus through.

            Seems obvious he is biding his time, practicing new techniques with a newer cue and waiting till he's completely ready before coming back to any tournament. All of this must surely be part of his preparation for one last proper crack at the WC and an eighth title. Anyway I hope that's what it's all about, been wrong before though! πŸ˜‰

            Very selfish of course and all that, but I'm also guessing he isn't overly enamored with WST these days and is enjoying giving them the bird in the process. πŸ–•

                that's what I love about your post CC
                always a positive spin LOL!

                With all his academies around the world, Hong Kong residency, hobnobbing with the really rich in both Middle and Far East; I am sure your right, playing for peanuts (to him now) has lost its attraction.
                I will not be surprised if after the WSC he retires and do lucrative exhibitions for a few years.
                And I for one, will not miss the "will he wont he" (drop out that is) atmosphere we are in at the mo

                  Not sure if it’s the venue or just a trait of the Welsh people, but this crowd look like they’re rather be anywhere else but here. No applause for shots, half-hearted welcome when the players are announced. More like the crowds you get at the bowls.

                    Scott Donaldson bottled it. Butchered a few reds.

                        He needs to get some clippers on that Barnet before he's got a full comb over. I'm sure that would improve his confidence.

                          Why is the same match always being broadcast on both BBC RB and BBC Wales? Why not show one of the other tables on RB so that we don’t have to keep booting up BBC iPlayer?
