Victorian Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 Epic amounts of folk hacking their lungs up in the Crucible tonight.

Would love to see him push him to the end because he'll grow stronger the closer he gets to a win.

At least he's started tonight better than the morning though. 😁 Spoke too soon as he's missed an easy one. Needs to keep the head. Edited April 26, 2022 by neilnunb

Victorian Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 WTF was that about? Two drunk guys in the club.

Worry is the two players who can get in his head (Selby and Robertson) have shat it.

JudyJudyJudy Posted April 27, 2022 Posted April 27, 2022 He’s on fire . That’s him through to the semi final 🚀 🚀 rocket 🚀
Craig_ Posted April 27, 2022 Posted April 27, 2022 Can't see past Ronnie now. Trump probably the only one who could stop him, but he's a strange one. Great talent but doesn't seem to have the application.
neilnunb Posted April 27, 2022 Posted April 27, 2022 Great response by Higgins. Into a decider we're going...
Mikey1874 Posted April 28, 2022 Posted April 28, 2022 (edited) Mark Williams said something interesting after he won his Quarter final. He said he was really tired in the 2nd session of day when he lost the session 6-2 against Yan Bingtao and said he would have lost the game if was played to finish. Said he struggled playing 2 sessions in day. 7-1 down to Trump after 1st session. 2 sessions tomorrow. Edited April 28, 2022 by Mikey1874
neilnunb Posted April 28, 2022 Posted April 28, 2022 Commentary love-in for Ronnie on Eurosport 🙄 Saying how Ronnie has never publicly been critical of table conditions. Pretty easy to prove that wrong. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbc.com/sport/snooker/30269961.amp

Yep, that's what the Eurosport commentators were banging on about and how he had never complained about table conditions etc in the past. Sure it was Neale Foulds and whoever the other bloke was. Bumming Ronnie up constantly. Ah well, 4-4 after the first session.
Victorian Posted April 29, 2022 Posted April 29, 2022 O'Sullivan starting to bash Higgins. Good. Big last frame for 10-6 or 9-7.
neilnunb Posted April 29, 2022 Posted April 29, 2022 The Ronnie supporters at these events are actual dicks. Cheering when he decided not to take a risky pot on and play safety shot instead. 🤦♂️🤣
neilnunb Posted April 29, 2022 Posted April 29, 2022 Taylor & Doherty...pair of throbbers. "never seen anything like it" Get a grip. 🖕🤣 Sadly that last frame is a sore one for Higgins. Hard to see him win now.

Victorian Posted April 29, 2022 Posted April 29, 2022 That was phenomenal resolve to hang into that frame and produce the clearance, considering where the black was. I think he lives for the chance to prove that kind of genius. Higgins can carry a bit of luck and it can be quite subtle. Looks like it's run out. He's still in it if the A game makes an appearance though. He needs to win 11-6 or better from this point. 'A game' Higgins could do that. Sub-A Higgins will need a lot more luck.
JudyJudyJudy Posted April 29, 2022 Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) They should toss people out whos phones are always ringing or pinging. Surely the first thing you do when entering the arena is put your phone on silent? Must be annoying for the players. Edited April 29, 2022 by JamesM48

Mikey1874 Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 That was a master class in safety play. Probably be used to teach everyone now. But just unfortunate landing allowed another brilliant break. All the breaks over 40 are from Ronnie.
Craig_ Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 I know he rubs a lot of people up the wrong way, but you can't deny the quality of Ronnie. Playing absolutely devastating stuff right now.

ri Alban Posted April 30, 2022 Author Posted April 30, 2022 It's taken Ronnie 30 years to get near Stephen Hendry's 7 world titles and beat his other records. Hendry did it in half the time, and they were all there.

Ronnie has taken 30 years and he's still on 6, against worse players. If Stephen changed his game to play more safety, he'd still be there . Edited April 30, 2022 by ri Alban
