Shame really, as I think the Irishman has the potential to go all the way in the game, and has done well to get near the top 16 after just three seasons on the tour.<BR/><BR/>Sam TAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-75043306391669338092008-04-22T15:49:00.000+01:002008-04-22T15:49:00.000+01:00It's a shame STEVE DAVIS couldn't have kept his to...It's a shame STEVE DAVIS couldn't have kept his top 16 place. You know if he could qualify for the 2010 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS he will have played at the Crucible in five different decades. What other top sportsmen would be able to boast a record like that. Not many<BR/><BR/>Nick BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-13588262335720176822008-04-22T15:03:00.000+01:002008-04-22T15:03:00.000+01:00First of all: Hendry is not going to win.

It may be enough to see him through another. But... He is not playing anywhere near well enough to win the whole thing!!<BR/><BR/>Despite this, it's great to see the likes of Hendry and especially Davis at the cCrucible, and getting the reception they deserve from the crowd. It's only a pity Jimmy White isn't playing. Todays players just don't seem to have the aura or the personality around them that the greats of even 10 years ago do/did.<BR/><BR/>Davis is my favourite snooker player and i pray that he will be back next time round, and hopefully can roll back the years and get a few wins. Would love Hendry to surprise me and make it to the latter stages.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
