I also grew up in the 80s but properly got into snooker in the 90s (the Hendry years). And I've loved it ever since. Never been a player though, as I'm pretty awful at it.

Also looking forward to the Masters - it is usually my peace time in front of the box for several days and I don't get disturbed.

Do you know if O'Sullivan is playing this year - can't recall seeing him at all last year in any of the tournaments.

Watch this video to get you in the mood:-



Classic O'Sullivan  :smiley:

Yeah Ronnie is playing Mark Williams on Tuesday afternoon in the Masters. It's his first competitive tournament since the World Champs in April - he's been doing the odd exhibition since then (including my local club a few months ago) and he's been playing in the untelevised Champs League very recently, and playing very well from what I've heard!

It'll be great to watch him play again. I've seen him at the Crucible a couple of times, which was good, but there's nothing quite like putting your feet up at home in front of the snooker for a week or two with a beer/cup of tea/whatever. I find it therapeutic! And the seats at the Crucible are horrible if you're anywhere near six foot!

Probably sounds a bit sad but somewhere along the way I got truly hooked on the game. Love it!

Oh and that 5:20 max... it's still amazing every time you watch it!

I eagerly await Tuesday's match in that case......

Yeah it's always special watching Ronnie. Maybe even more now that some sort of real decline in form can't be far away unfortunately. Amazing to be playing at the top of the game at 40 years old. And duly recognised with an OBE in the new year.

I've got the week off work so I'll be creating a big dent in the sofa and enjoying the whole tournament!
