Snooker: Players Championship (3rd April)

[Paul Ross]

Ronnie is a loon - fact. Some of the things I have seen him do in tournaments I played in, you can't help but laugh, a few examples.

He played Stuart Reardon (used to be an excellent player) in a Pro-Am in Wood Green, everyone watching, he was on for a 147 with 1 red left and loads of people watching. He potted the red, perfect on the black, then potted the pink and cleared for a 146!

He played another guy in a Pro-Am in Leigh-on-Sea, poor guy was bricking it and Ronnie made the most of it. First frame, Ronnie knocked in a 138 left handed, 2nd frame he played alternate left hand right hand every shot.

Another example was he was playing a qualifier in blackpool years ago, on for a 147, potted the pink for 140 and didn't pot the black - he said to the ref, "set em up, I'm just going toilet"

A tiny profit made, but I think I should consider myself lucky that Ronnie and Mark were able to squeak by 5-4 .

I'm not too confident of this bet, but with odds of 2.34 I'm gonna give it a go .

2pts:
Williams M. v King M. @ 1.41
Lee S. v Parrott J. @ 1.33
Higgins J. v Henry D. @ 1.25
Odds of 2.34

always thought his nutjob act was just an act but your stories are good.I like the right/left hand one
He always refers to himself in the 3rd person in interviews, "Ronny thinks this ,Ronny feels that"
After the swapping hands story I wonder is he a skitzo!!! >:

up 4-2 v williams and loses! moron!
I have laid williams to win outright,looking dodgy now.although williams seems to be winning these games just about!
