Championship League Update

How long is this tournament going on for?
Stage 1 will finally end on 5th October
I think the while tournament will end at the end of October
A farce really
Yep it is getting really boring now.
So does the European Masters start today?
It does yep, it's on Eurosport, Judd Trump is playing a 14 year old Ukranian player at 19:00
Question chaps, do you now think Ronnie has fulfilled his talent? Yes he's won most triple crowns, 6 Worlds, & many other tournaments, but has he fulfilled his talent?
I've heard of him, he's also in Ronnie's group in the Championship League.

=========================================
Absolutely not in terms of ability.
But in terms of his issues mentally, you could argue he has over achieved.
One thing he has done is he has tried things, getting fitter, Ray Reardon, Towel, Joe Davis Book, Steve Peters, even his recent uber attacking play. He's always trying to add things to his game to give himself a better chance. Some things worked, others didn't.
He should've won 1 World in the 90s, definitely 1 more in the mid 2000s, maybe 1 in the mid 2010s, so yes in that sense he has under-achieved.
By the age of 40, he had only 27 ranking titles, so I would say he under achieved there.
But he is making up for it now and maybe if he won more before, he wouldn't be so good now, I suppose we'll never know.
Good breakdown, remember he's also lost 6 Masters finals, but he should have at least 2 more worlds by now, like you say though, with his issues & love hate relationship is say he's pretty much smashed it, but given Hendry or Davis's single minded winning mentality he could have 30 triple crown titles with his longevity
Sunny Akani is one of the slowest players I have seen... 🙄
I don't remember him being that slow. Maybe Neil Robertson bogged him down. Neil is also one of these annoying players that will constantly play on needing 4-5 snookers. Fair enough though he did win 1 frame today needing 3 or 4 snookers lol.
Judd beat the kid 5-0
No real shocks, let’s just hope Jimmy can finish off this match
Sunny Akani took Ronnie to a decider in the UK Champs in 2017.
Hasn’t really pushed on since then
Jimmy White loses 5-4 to Ian Burns.
Oh no, Jimmy should’ve won that
4 players tested positive for Covid Michael White and Daniel Wells are 2 of them. I forgot who the other 2 are.
Just True,, I know you like the old matches on YouTube, I've been watching Steve Davis v Willie Thorne the 1985 UK final, the famous missed blue that let Davis back in to win, I always thought that was around the 15-14 mark in the match, its actually at 13-8 ( I think) to Willie, then he only won 1 more frame, its a good watch.
