Quote from: onefineday on Today at 01:34:25 AMAgree big loss for us, I think his early withdrawal in the semi v Kerry last year was a factor in ultimately losing that game. Not sure Mickey was his biggest fan though, seems to have been pulled to shore pretty sharpish these last few games.
Wishing him the best of luck with the rehab and return.

What you see on the screen in terms of people playing snooker hasn't changed a bit, whether it's Higgins or White or Jak Jones. It's just a lad at a table potting balls. Some do it faster than others. Some are incredibly slow. Same as it ever was.
Rubbish. Some still players show a bit of personality that sets them apart from the rest. O'Sullivan one example. He mightnt be very likable but he still shows his personality with his regular interactions with opponents, refs and the crowd. Ditto Mark Williams except he is more easy to like than Ronnie. He sometimes takes on trick shots unnecessarily and jokes regularly with the crowd and refs. During the World Championship in 2018 he made a vow during the competition that if he won, he'd do his first news conference naked. He won the title and lived up to his word.
Players can have personalities, and while some are happy to show it, just not enough of them are.
Did that in the middle of a frame live on TV, did he? No he potted balls like the rest of them, same as the four lads in the semis will

LeBron still very much got it though. Was terrific last night.
