Ssb - hendry slams new ranking system

[snooky147]

You telling me my friends lie to me now?!?!?

Yup

Yes, Graeme is not a fan and never has been of short format. Hope he does well though.

[thinsy]

Well Dott certainly does not like the he is call it a cut throat lottery

Is it the World Open - Best of 5 he doesn't like

-or-

The PTC'c - Best of 7 ?

(or both - of course)

[thinsy]

Yup

Yes, Graeme is not a fan and never has been of short format. Hope he does well though.

Hey Mr Laidback you sound a bit rattled!!!!

And i agree i think it is a cut throat lottery too well put Dott

Ha, never rattled...

Agreed, Best of 5's are a bit cut throat but I'm not against it being 'tried' (Let's face it, can't be worse than a round robin!)

What does he think of Best of 7's?

[thinsy]

Sorry Thinsy...What are you on about?

You claiming to know what other people think!

[snooky147]

He has supported the PTC's, without success because he supports the Hearn administration but short format games just do not seem to suit him anymore, which is strange because as a junior and amateur he managed just fine. Maybe he just needs to adjust.

Well he said he prefers the longer format and that nobody is favourite in this one.

[Mr P]

He's only looking for excuses because he is in a massive decline in my opinion.

[wildJONESEYE]

snooker players prefere longer formats it gives you time to get used to conditions etc.

in this by the time you got the speed of the table your 2-0 down and 40-0 down.

stephen over the last 2 or 3 years has had to win so many matches from 3-1 down at the interval well in this he is out he is a slow starter. during his peak the amount of times he got off to a flyer with a century from his first shot was frightening but thats gone now and its scaring him.

IMO, Hendry knows he's struggling and he is getting ready to call it a day.

I hope that isn't the case but he looks fed up to me.

He's been looking fed up for ages..

He's been looking fed up for ages..

Stephen wants trophies its that simple Steve and Jimmy having the thrill out of competing Stephen isnt happy unless he is winning tournaments he has always thought of Runner up as failure well What does he call Losing in the Last 32 ?

I wouldn't say that Steve and Jimmy just enjoy the thrill of competing... I'm sure both WANT to win every match they play... The difference is they have realised they are no longer going to win everything and still enjoy the game!!

Hendry looks like he's in a 'job' he no longer likes....
