  • I'm a ROS fan but I admire Mark's sportsmanship.Appears very genuine in his appreciation of opponents game in defeat & victory alike.His game is definitely different from everyone else's as he plays shots others wouldn't think of playing.A true Gentleman imo.

    Brilliant editing. Perfect. The commentary is vital to snooker and the sound and vision matches beautifully here. Spot on old bean!

    12:33 Here you can see the digital display under the table. This display tells the temperature of the table which is controlled by heaters, which keep it at the perfect temperature according to the environment of the venue. If a snooker table wasn’t heated and was left to survive on its own throughout the course of a tournament then it would inevitably become too cold and damp to play on. It would also cause quite an uneven surface. The usual temperature is kept at 50 degree celcius, but this heat, by the time it reaches the table slate and the baize, is about 20 to 21 degree celcius which is the optimum for playing conditions. :)) Thank you for the video Cesar. :))

    I've been watching (and playing) snooker for well over 45 years and I've not seen anyone in that time who plays the table the way Ronnie does. That first yellow to split the pink and black is just outrageous but he does stuff like that so often. There was a blue he played in the mixed doubles where he ended up splitting the pink and black and the way he played it was the only possible way it could have turned out perfectly to release both colours and finish on a simple red. He is an absolute genius at geometry. No-one before has ever had such complete control over the entire table. Everyone else plays to split reds when they need them open, Ronnie plays to open the black on the first possible opportunity. He is absolutely unique.

    I'm also a R.O.S. fan and like Mark as well. He is not a player to be taken lightly. I enjoy watching him play, and he deserves to be listed with one of the great pool players and a great sportsman.

    The difference between 2016 against 2018 mark Williams is amazing. You can see In his eyes that he’s watching for it to go in. Whereas now he knows it’s going in. Sightright doing him good 👍
