Anyone been watching this? 10 minutes, 1 frame takes all.
Haven't watched it all but I'm quite enjoying it, shame Gilbert lost after an excellent frame on the first day.

I've never watched this but have watched numerous attempts at short form snooker.
For me it's a game that benefits from the longer format, nothing beats a best of 35 frames imo. I understand the need to try and appeal to those who prefer their sport fast and furious though.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

Watching it just now and already the crowd are getting on my nerves with their shouting. Not my idea of snooker at all much prefer the long drawn out matches with safety battles. Have spent many an hour in snooker audiences and this is not for me.

I made a 46 break last night (3 shy of my PB) - Unfortunately I ran out of balls

I love snooker and pool but I'm totally hopeless, bizarre considering the time I've spent in pubs on pool tables. Best break is 30 (red, black, red, pink, red , pink , red, pink, red.)

Not the straightest piece of timber I've used, but it worked a bloody treat and I won the money

I love playing snooker but have never reached the heights I would like too.Considering I spent my time as a snooker fitter for ten years and played an awful lot during that time I'm still pish. Still had some great times and met some great people during the heydays of snooker through the eighties.

Rocket Ronnie showing his class today. Some player but a total prick at times.

It was surreal to watch, but what a genius that lad is. It was basically sticking two fingers up at the authorities as neither the 147 nor the £10k meant much.
It was some break and worth looking for it online.

It is on youtube if anyone wants to see it.Cougars!!!

I'm sure there are plenty charities or good causes that would happily have taken £10K if it's beneath Ronnie.

Think he said the £10k rolls over so he'll let it get higher and give someone a chance when it's a bigger pot.
Fair play to him - I like a bit of arrogance in a sportsman.

However he does have his demons within his head and when he's in the mood when he can't be bothered he's very unpredictable and he can end up doing things like this.
It's a shame really because guys like him shouldn't be looking to make a 147 for financial reward, they should be doing it to entertain people.
