Welsh Open 2014 - Discussion

well I hope for more than two frames more
silver lining though is we can get to the restaurant before last orders, it was a close one last night

I can't see Ding getting more then 1 frame tonight. You'd better book your McDonalds early

You sound like you're having a blast. These are the memories that stay with you forever and always gives you something to smile about.

Maybe playing less events is the key, Ding looks very tired

I do wonder whether Ronnie could keep to a high standard if he had to travel around the world constantly.

When he had his twelve month sabbatical all the experts were saying that everyone else was match sharp and he had no chance. Now everyone else is burnt out or tired.
Fact is he's always been better than the rest as far as talent goes, and now he's got the mental strength to simply relax when he plays.
Reardon didn't turn pro until he was about Ronnies age, there could be an awful lot more to come if he wants it.
Ronnie's got them all just a little bit scared, simple as that.

what he's bringing too the game now is just different

Alot of homosexual unrelated snooker talk in the last few posts. Come meet up fun boys.

[j6uk]

nice name gayton...drago but you got me from behind with that one

I suppose Ronnie is a pioneer of taking breaks at the right time. Lol

[Ronnie's tip]

A lot of people saying ROS hasn't played that well - I disagree. He's been very good IMO. Obviously not at his best, but that's hardly a fair indication. It's been a B+ performance for me. For anyone else that probably means A-. Dind hasn't been very good though, has to be said.

Still, if he reel off the first 3 frames, then who knows?

I thought he was pretty mediocre to be honest, he pretty much gave Ding a good chance in every frame except one, the kind of chance you would expect an in-form player to take. Whether O'Sullivan has another gear in case Ding starts playing, that's another matter. Personally I think he does. But if he wins the last two frames pretty unspectacularly, it will arguably be the worst performance to win a ranking final from anyone this season...

I'm not too optimistic for tonight, in terms of getting either good standard of play or any drama, but you never know with snooker...

[scottley]

I doubt we'll see an interval, i wonder if the person (cant remember their name?) had all that money on Ding?

[cyberheater]

What we need it for Ding to win the first frame of the session just to keep Ronnie on his toes.

[scottley]

Fair play to Ding!
