Ronnie wins world championships; threatens to quit snooker (again)

There we go ... the most talented snooker player in the world wins his overdue 3rd World Championship, beating Ali Carter even though Ronnie wasn't playing at his best. Quite a fitting final as well, as the 2 players who hit 147 in the championships went on to play in the finals (I believe this is a first). Well done to both players.

As I mentioned before, I do hope that Ronnie finds new focus and concentration in his game. I actually think the game needs him than he needs the game, as snooker without him now, is quite a dull setup.

Again, his usual hint that he may quit the game now, exiting at a high. He said it before a few times, and one could literally hear the groans from the crowd when he said that during the prize presentation. Oh well. It would be great to watch him play on and win a couple more championships at least. It does seem like his life is back in order =)
