Speaking as the man who didn't know snooker was being televised on Quest until a few days ago, I thought you'd appreciate the obvious being pointed out.

Just a tad frustrated, nothing else. Ronnie will come good soon and win a title again. The 41 year old is still capable of winning titles, even if that annoys some haters.
To be fair, you have spent the past couple of hours whining.

I don't see Milkins troubling Judd too much.

Couldn't agree more.
He messed up again. Looking like 3-0.

I think, it's fair to say Higgins would be the UK Champ for sure now, had Selby not stopped him in the decider.

Most probably.
Glad he did, better Selby winning than Higgins that's for certain.

You only show up when he wins a tournament or has a big win over an opponent... didn't see the sight of you when he lost to Selby in the decider at the UK for instance... just 1 of countless examples.
hey andre, yes iv always been an infrequent poster but i do like to 'show up' to give john some support if thats ok.
i admit i also do it to wind up ronnie fans, especially that whiny one thats always crying .
and you say you never saw me when john lost to selby in the decider? thats wrong, i did post. here it is again as you missed it the first time.

Staying behind to sign autographs too after matches. I've seen him doing that throughout this event, and a few others lately. That's something he /never/ did pre-Peters, ever.
Mark Allen deserves a lot of smack, but he's a player that also stays behind, sometimes
extremely late after his match has ended, to sign autographs for everyone that wants them.
Yeh... he probably pretends they are other player's Death Certificates

Milkins is capable of playing top standard stuff like Ronnie, blowing opponents off the table.... OR....
Playing amateur stuff when things dont go his way. Non-existent B game sadly.

I expect a lot of frequents, myself included, like to view other peoples posts on here and only comment when we actually have something to say, I don't comment much about players except Ronnie and maybe a handful of others.
Doesn't mean we're not here though

Milkins vs Higgins would be a complete mismatch for the semis. Hope Judd wins this which he should do.

I think it means that you are there when john higgins plays well and returns the summets like since 2015.
And he is not wrong..

I know, and there's more to life than a Snooker Forum.
Just saying some here only show up if their favourite wins. If he loses they don't. GJ is another example... miss him though, he's a nice lad.

I found a little damage. It is interesting to analyze what does not go in the game of our favorite player.
And to believe that things will be arranged, to always support his idol in spite of the difficult passages.
Rather than boast when our player wins titles and disappear when things do not happen the way they want.

Actually, I've barely watched this week. But one day I turned on for about five minutes, and it was Higgins moaning about conditions.
That and Goldstein trying to be funny.
