I reckon even Reeves would find a way to get round that. Again I wish Judd all the very best. I wonder if she would be more likely to hit him with tax bills for setting foot in this country when competing in the World championships?

what made ronnie pull out and throw his cue in the bin

He he yes. Ronnie entered the Championship League in Group 3. He only won 1 of his first 4 matches when he came up against Robert Milkins. In frame 1, Ronnie was 51-0 up but Milkins made a 63 clearance to win the frame. Ronnie won the next 2 frames with runs of 78 and 90, and clearly felt he should have already won the match 3-0. Things didn't go so well in the next 2 frames and Ronnie slammed his cue into the table in anger a couple of times in frustration. Milkins won 3-2 with Ronnie fuming he should have won 3-0. In the Players Lounge afterwards he was reported to have said he was crap, and threw his cue in the bin. His manager later retrieved it.

Ronnie withdrew from the Championship League which meant all his matches were declared void. Unfortunately, Milkins and the other players that beat him, all lost their point they got for beating him, so they'll have to just satisfy themselves that they beat him.

hopefully he will go and get his head sorted out for the masters

DON'T MESS WITH BIG BOB MILKINS
