Having thought about what ronnie has said about torneys not being as fun as they used to and stuff do any of the oldies on here think it was way more exiting back in the day when torneys were great to win and just playing seemed more exiting. i mean the days of 107s being a great achievemnt and the orig high break being 130-140 am i just not going with the times? or does anyone else agree

(oldies only)

Who do you class as oldies lol

Ronnie never mentioned funkysnooker?

people who wer around in the spursjay era mainly they know who they are

Well for orig it hasn't changed much, only a couple of us with a max, don't really see it changing in the near future much. It hasn't lost it touch.

he was using real snooker as a metaphor :P

ahh right

Well the more people play the more people are going to master it, shame in a way.

yeah i suppose thats what i mean i prefered getting excited about a 50 break and getting an announcment

I got excited about getting a 30 break and getting announcement! Took me ages to get my first half.

Yes it is becoming more often that you see breaks of 107s and centuries etc. But what can you do? It's just a case of more and more people getting used to the game and getting better at it as they play it for longer. The game isn't any easier than it was 2 years ago, it's just there are more people who have got their heads around the game and know exactly what is going on on the table and exactly what they need to do.

It doesn't matter what everyone else does, If a 30 break is a good break for you then its as if a pro is getting a good half.

can i ask when this was?

The likes of spursjay, funky_al, rotherham6, kimmymiller etc. were all around when I first signed up, and that was over 2 and a half years ago...

i was around about christmas 2006 if that helps but it maybe before them since ive only heard of suprsjay
