2023 World Championship

Maybe he is listening, and that's the problem.

Exactly!, what can Ebdon do for you apart from telling you to take as much time over each shot as you can get away with, after all that's all he ever had.

Any suspicious betting patterns for Ronnie 13 Hossien 2 ?

Lol, yes , I was never much of an Ebdon fan to say the least! 🙄

Ah come on, he gave us the fist pump.

Well despite Jak doing his best impression of an Ausie lifeguard, throwing ring after ring in Neil's general direction, he keeps tossing them away and seems determined to sleep with fishes.

When you decide to call a player like Ronnie out and then fail to play the match of your life, you're left looking a bit of a fool. And I do feel Hossein has been a fool, to himself mainly because I actually think he is good enough to be a world champ and how many chances does a player get?? Don't throw any away!!

Nice gesture from Ronnie at the end and I hope that nonsense is put to bed now.

When was the last time if at all, that both matches finished within a span of 5 minutes at the crucible?

What a moment there between ROS and Vafaei. Loved seeing that. Fantastic stuff!!!

[PatBlock]

That crowns a very disappointing season for Robbo. He needs to go away and seriously consider his commitment to this sport, because right now I don't think it's anywhere near as strong as it should be.

Agreed. O’Sullivan looks unbeatable.

Missed that. Did they have a little cuddle? What a silly Billy Vafaei has been, hope he can recover from it.

Ha yes they did. They kissed and made up. I’m such an old romantic.

Robertson is a great front runner but under pressure his shot selection and confidence go AWOL.

[Odrl]

Went pretty much according to expectations. It's already questionable whether Vafaei has the game to beat O'Sullivan on the table, and then he also behaves like a lunatic at the start of the match. Don't know whether that was a conscious effort to play mind games or not, but the only message it sent was that he was going to be easy prey for O'Sullivan. Maybe it would have worked 25 years ago, but definitely not nowadays.

Weird to see Robertson go in such an underwhelming way as well. Must be the first time in decades that he's completely fail to win any titles in a season.

Looks like Vafaei returned the favour in frame 2 yesterday.

I know. Bet you'd love a little cuddle with Ronnie, ay daffie.
