Got hold of this transcript of the Ronnie interview yesterday afternoon.

BBC Presenter: "So how did you find it out there today Ron?"

Ronnie (for it is he): "Well, mate to be honest it's like a bloody air raid in the blitz out there, there's geezers swanning about all over the gaff, I'm down on me shot and some boot faced old gypo is pickin' his nose and scratchin' 'is 'nads..."

BBC Presenter: "Oh, eerr"

Ronnie (for it is he): "...shut up, I'm talking mate. As I say, I rather expect to get bashed up out there 'cause it's like a bleedin' shoppin mall, but I'd rather do well 'cause I got problems at 'ome. I gotta stump up loads of school fees next week, I'm bleedin broke and me sprogs are all runnin' round wi' their baboons shiny behinds hangin' out..."

BBC Presenter: "eer, oh"

Ronnie (for it is he):"...so as I say, down this gaff I got boot faced gypos scatchin their 'nads and at 'ome I got me sprogs runnin' round wi' their baboons shiny behinds hangin' out..."

BBC Presenter: "Well, we have to leave it there Ron, but thanks for coming in."

Ronnie (for it is he): "...No problem mate, do you know where you can get decent Chinese nosh round 'ere?"

4-1 to graeme over wakelin. Could have been a different story though but for two excellent steals. The first frame with a 75 from 49 down and the third with a 62 from 65-4 down to win by a point. A 97 in the fourth rubbed salt in the wound.

finding some form


He also found some form at UK Champs and then got beat by McGill in Last 16.

With Higgins nowadays he can be near perfect one day and the next can't pot a ball performance.

Luca 2 nil up against pengfei :-D

Hopefully he doesnt bottle it now, his work with Chris Henry seems to have done him the world of good having already qualified for Indian Open and thrashing Milkins 4 nil here.

he needs to be way more consistent though, one good performance is absolutely nothing if you cant back that. We've seen it at UK Champs and Masters this season, and this tournament may end up in the same road.

According to Willie, he's going through a "lean period". :chuckle:


He's absolutely dire.

Well, I think getting older and getting unfit is never the most likely combination to produce good snooker form.
