Snooker would be dead without Ronnie.
Think he should've made the 147 then thrown the 10g's into the crowd

Champion.
Lets have Andy Hamilton win the darts world championship and Wes Morgan win the ballon d'or.
Don't know where they'd fit all the knew fans it would drag in to the sports though!
That's right, he was champion.
If Hamilton worked hard enough, and played well enough, and coped with the pressure, maybe he could.
Not sure what the Ballon D'Or has to do with the price of spuds, either.
I don't think Bingham winning the worlds is a bad thing for the sport, quite the opposite, imo.
You obviously don't like him, which is fine, but quite laughable statements from you

"Twenty years as professional – blood, sweat and tears on the road. Qualifying in places like Prestatyn and Malvern. So many family and friends have backed me. It is unbelievable. I'm world champion but I'm going to be the same person, I'll be playing in all the tournaments and hopefully I'll be a good role model as world champion. Any kids growing up wanting to play, just stick at it. Lots of hard work, practice and self-belief, things like this can happen"
Absolutely terrible for the sport when someone like Bingham wins the World Championship

Fair enough mate.
I had a bit of a sarcy comment written there but i actually cba to type. We just have diff opinions on the matter.
Fwiw i think a complete unknown winning the worlds would be etter for the sport than a journeyman pro.

Haha, nothing wrong with a bit of sarcasm, you should have fired it in there
I don't disagree, and think that a player winning on their debut would be superb. However, that's a fair way from your initial statement.
I think Bingham was a fair way from journeyman by the time he won it, even though he was underdog through the last 3 matches.
Having looked at it there, he went through a murderers row, having to beat Trump, Ronnie, and Murphy.

ZZZZZZZZZ. That's going to attract lapsed viewers like me. I'd never watch snooker nowadays unless O'Sullivan or Davis is playing.

I would award £146k now for a 146. Much harder making a 146 than a 147 nowadays. Pretty sure that will be Ronnie's first 146.
Been trying to figure out why it's harder. I'd have assumed there are plenty of opportunities to take a pink once half the reds are cleared. Might have to put it in the middle instead of the corner, but is it much harder? I accept could be wrong on this.
FWIW, I can see O'Sullivan's point. And I don't get the disrespectful point. He still potted all the balls.

Those political updates must be tiring, I'd get yourself a nap
That was in reference to Bingham winning being the an all time low for Snooker, which I disagreed with.
People move on, and their time gets taken up by other things, and I myself don't watch anywhere near as much Snooker as I did.
I'd imagine the large majority only watch when Ronnie is playing, or maybe Trump, too.

Its harder because you give up 10k to score one.

I assume its harder because generally, if you start red-black, it means the black is on its spot and available into corner pockets. Whereas the pink is more likely to be tied up with reds around it.

On a slightly different note, why do you think the Hearn's have had such success with darts and boxing, but really haven't had the same impact on snooker? It seems to me, and per this thread, that the overall interest in snooker is declining, and it all looks a bit stagnant.

Worldwide, snooker is massively bigger than it was. There's a tournament every week and the market in Asia is growing vastly.

Hearn has massively invigorated snooker. growing worldwide, and into new countries
it lacks characters, thats all, at the moment. plenty of depth but only one star

That's right I guess. I suppose it's the difference between it's British popularity, and it's worldwide popularity.
