BetVictor Northern Ireland Open Last 128 !!

He said that he thoufht that people were leaving but it turned out they were being let in.

But I agree he makes a meal of things sometimes. Imagine how snake hissed off he'd have been if it cost him the match!

Would like ROS to play Selby in the Semis. Either here or more importantly at the UK.

About time these two played again.

I'm going to go with Terry Griffiths at 19 and Paul Hunter at 20.

UNOFFICIAL AND OPEN TO SERIOUS DISCUSSION:
21. Stephen Lee
22. Stephen Maguire
23. Graeme Dott
24. Stuart Bingham
25. Mark Allen
26. Matthew Stevens
27. Eddie Charlton
28. Dennis Taylor
29. Ali Carter
30. Barry Hawkins
31. James Wattana
32. Alan McManus

Doug Mountjoy and Marco Fu are not out of the running yet, but they need a strong case to convince me.

Graeme Dott is very high for a man who won two ranking titles, but he's getting a boost for some terrific performances particularly at the World Championship, having played in snooker's toughest era. Similar story with Matthew Stevens, who has two majors and a lot of fine performances at a teak-tough time to be pro.

I have not bothered with the Davis brothers and Pullman

I'm sat watching the snooker with a good friend of mine (who is a bit of a hammer). He said that all this list making is trivial and can't be answered. He even suggested that Hendry is better than ROS because he has more World Titles and ranking events. What an blue frog

How do I answer him?

Hendry's wins dried up big time during what should have been his peak years because three young whippersnappers started finding their range. He was toast then.

What the buck are you doing?
Has Pinkball sanctioned this?

He will, as soon as he sees my brilliant reasoning

Chuck it in the bin. Load of rubbish.

Maguire should be above Lee. He's won the UK.

I don't rate any Top 20 lists, unless Pinkball has authorised it. On any issue.

Saying that, I stand by this list I made in the other thread.

Hendry just rated his top-3 players on Twitter, so I sent him my suggestion of Leo Fernandez, Patrick Wallace and Joe Delaney.

I eagerly await his response.
