That match took years off my life! I wish I could just watch snooker as a neutral and enjoy all the drama like most seem to be able to but I'm just too partisan where Neil Robertson is concerned. Don't think I'd ever have got over that one if he'd lost.

Another great night of snooker, just missed the midnight finish by a couple of minutes. :smile:
Could have been different had Bingham landed slightly more favourably on the green at the start of the frame. Still, credit for his great comeback. I didn't think he would make a match of it at 8-3.
Robertson did miss match ball in the decider, but he still played a pretty strong frame. Winning it in one visit would have been quite something under that pressure... Some great shots he played, particularly the red to the yellow pocket when he was out of position.
Will it be another Robertson-Selby final? Should be interesting either way. :smile:Comment

2010 final. Williams was 9-5 up. Also at 9-7 Williams was past match ball but Higgins got the required snooker. It was an unbelievable (and successful!) comeback.Originally Posted by Ronnie's tip View PostComment

Well done both players! What a match!
Go Neil !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My favourite players: Walter Lindrum (AUS), Neil Robertson (AUS), Eddie Charlton (AUS), Robby Foldvari (AUS), Vinnie Calabrese (AUS), Jimmy White, Stephen Hendry, Alex Higgins, Ronnie O'Sullivan, Dominic Dale and Barry Hawkins.
I dream of a 147 (but would be happy with a 100)

There seems to be something about the UK Championship in the last five years...Originally Posted by zombieman View Post
In 2009, O'Sullivan came back to 8-8 from 8-2 down against Higgins.
In 2010, Higgins won the final 10-9 from 9-5 down.
In 2011, Allen was 8-3 down in the final and came back within a frame at 9-8.
In 2012, Murphy was 8-4 down to Carter and won 9-8.
In 2013, Bingham was 8-3 down and came back to 8-8. And there are still two matches to go... :smile:Comment

Great match! Too bad for Bingham, so close.
Anyone know, who was the Brazilian dude with Neil's mom in the stands? Wasn't Renan Barao, was it?Comment

I thought that was Vinnie Calabrese (fellow Australian pro who practises with Neil) but I may be wrong.Originally Posted by FerruleFox View PostComment

what a semi final, i was rooting for Bingham, i didn't think he was capable of that comeback, what an effort. if he only took his chances early in the match he might have won comfortably.
you have to take your hat off to Neil Robertson though he stayed calm in the last frame when many would have just been a bag of nerves. well done to a great match.

Have to say, great match,, but think Robertson can never ever talk about ebdon and slow play again, 2mins on the green he could only play it 2 ways, when he crosses his arms with the cue,I put the kettle on, kids to bed and still catch the shot, when Bingham made it 8-8 they both went out, yet please correct me,Bingham was sat in his chair for ages??,, maybe it's me, but I feel Robertson was border line playing gamesmanship!! He knew Bingham was in the zone so took extra time, it shouldn't be allowedComment

Is there anywhere I can watch the robertson/bingham match or at least the last frame?Comment

Just watched the re-run on Eurosport from Bingam 8-4 down...what a comeback he made, wonderful stuff. Very sad to see him loose in the end. Would have loved to see him in the Final. Neil is not my personal favorite player, but will have to give him credit hanging in there and taking the last frame. Onwards to the 2nd semi today...should be a good one as well.Originally Posted by alabadi View PostComment

I'm a huge fan of Mark Williams and I was truly depressed for a few days when he lost that UK final against Higgins.Originally Posted by Where's Willie? View PostComment
