BWG Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 O'Sullivan has looked more lethal since he started using this sight right method. Won the Champion of Champions at a canter. Mark Wilson seems to have given up. Link to comment
The Cockney Don Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 O'Sullivan has looked more lethal since he started using this sight right method. Won the Champion of Champions at a canter. Mark Wilson seems to have given up. Think you mean someone else there. Mark Selby ?Mark Allen ?Kyren Wilson ? 1 Link to comment

dazzy_deff Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Why do you think that?Because the media say so, silly. O’Sullivan has done more for snooker than any other snooker player in history combined. Will never be matched. A genius and a proper gent. Link to comment
Poodler Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I think he's brilliant. Absolute top of his game, he's charming, a great interviewer, brilliant personality. The only player worth watching. Link to comment
BWG Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 O'Sullivan won't be topped in our lifetimes. 1000 is pretty incredible. Link to comment

Tommy Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Big shock today, O’Sullivan losing to an amateur. Link to comment
YorkDon Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Virgo in commentary saying the best ever to play the game.For me you canna split him and Hendry.He’ll stay on 5 world titles to Hendry’s 7 for another year at least then... Link to comment
Guest milne_afc Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 The pockets were bigger for most of O' Sull's era, and Hendry had much tougher oppos. Link to comment

ROS still in his absolute prime and seems to win most of the big tournaments he enters. He has won more majors, has more 147s (probably), more centuries and could easily win another 5 or 6 majors. Only reason he hasn’t won more WCs is because of the long format. His style is not suited to the marathon / long drawn out war of attrition that the crucible entails. Plus, players like ebdon and Selby (and hendry tbf) knew if they played a patient game he would eventually crack. And he usually did. Link to comment
elephantstone78 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Haha hendry commenting on mcguire v Cahill last frame decider. “Mcguire is gone he can’t win this match”. McGuire then wins the decider comfortably, limiting his opponent to a single point scored. Very good hendo Link to comment

elephantstone78 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 So if Hendry can play the patient long game would that not make him better?For the bulk of the 1990s it certainly did. But, ironically, Ronnie managing to play the long game and maintain a career at the top level for over 25yrs seals him top dog status. IMO. I would like to see trump win it this year. His match v ding should be a good one. Link to comment
The Cockney Don Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Like to see Bazza Hawkins win it now. Link to comment

And he usually did.Longevity doesn’t necessarily mean O’Sullivan is better tho?In the early to mid 90’s Hendry was unbeatable and even won a world championship coming back from a broken arm.He also played against the likes of Higgins and Williams in their prime.Who is around now of that calibre for O’Sullivan to beat?He was also world number one consecutively for something like 7 or 8 years.Ronnie has played longer,has more centuries etc but I bet if Hendry hadn’t developed the snooker equivalent of the yips,he’d have some more.He also beat the Rocket in a final frame decoder with a 147.O’Sullivan without doubt one of the most naturally gifted ever to play,but if I had to pick one of them in their prime it would be Hendry. 1 Link to comment

The Cockney Don Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Was on for a 147 till the cue ball collided with yellow and snookered himself on the last red. Cue ball on it's way to behind the blue. Link to comment
