Another "threat" to quit snooker after losing to Judd Trump in the UK Championship.

On his day he's probably the greatest to ever play the game, but anyone else getting a bit tired of the "I'm not sure if I can be bothered anymore" routine?

He does this every 6 months or so. He'll be fine after a session or two with his shrink. And then we'll hear the same again next year. And round and round we go.

I still think he has another couple of World titles left in him. When in the balls he's a class act although his long game has suffered in recent years. Aged 36 I guess he'll finally call it a day in 4 or 5 years time.

PS - anyone else pissed off that Barry 'lets make snooker more like darts' Hearn has cut the length of the UK Champ matches?

He just needs to get back into the cross-country running season to sort his head out. Nothing like getting cold, wet, muddy and knackered to make you realise that your paid job isn't that bad hehe

yes. Barry has well and truly pissed me off. that said however as long as he doesnt feck about with the World championship i reckon he will get away with changing whatever he wants in snooker, for better or worse.

Yes he came with a couple of mates to do a 10k race at our club in Dunstable a few years back, think he was a member of a london running club, but he did a mighty good time , he had a good chat and had a few photos with club members after the race.

yes He runs for my old London club - Woodford Green (with Essex Ladies) AC. A valuable member of our team in the XC league races when he's not potting.

He's back to somewhere near his best now. Won the German open recently and now is in the semis of the Welsh.
