As long as it’s just a game of it. Even his suit somehow annoys me.

Just settled down. Showed my boy four clips today.

Highlights of the 85 black ball final.

Ronnies 5 min 147.

Ronnies 5 min 147 side by side with a Peter Ebdon 12.

Ronnie stopping the match after potting two balls to ask what prize was for a 147, then proceeding to get to 140 and put his cue down.

He likes snooker now.

One thing I noticed from the '85 final was everyone in the crowd wore their Sunday best to the final.

It looked absolutely class and made it look like a really big, proper important event.

They should bring that back.

My Grandad Solly was a trainer and involved in it in the Midlands. Alex Higgins would stay at my nan and grandads when he had games in birmingham etc but my nan kicked him out for trying to bring women back. Watching the long Embassy’s and the Bensons were massive events.

Yeah. A product of a different time and world. Like the best skaters it can’t burn like that forever. That’s my gramps Sol at the boxing at around the same time on the right. Rascals

Back to back steals.

Got to hand it to Murphy that was class. A 70 break and you lose the frame? Gut punch.

Just can’t look at Murphy’s Pilsbury doughboy grimace anymore. Gives me the queazies.
