Ronnie is playing like ****.

Finally turned the red button feed on....

lol 3 frames gifted so far! oops

[vilkrang]

Ronnie doing his best to gift a few frames to Hawkins.

Well, this is some irony. Barry first played a poor shot to split the pack and somehow got a red. He then played a much better one a couple of shots later and got nothing to play with.

[montoya10]

As soon as Hawkins starts to play half decently he miraculously wins a couple of frames against the "invincible" O'Sullivan.

Funny that, isn't it?

It's a huge stretch to call what Barry is playing half decent. Too many absent-minded mistakes. Frames that could go either way and Barry managed to pinch them. Nothing funny or surprising about that.

[cebs]

Hawkins odds have just gone from 200-1 down to 100-1 to win the WC, what a difference a few frames makes...

He really needs the last two as well though, before he can start thinking about coming back in the third session. 10-6 is not too bad at the halfway point, but 11-5 or 12-4 would be a bit much.

red button is there for this reason, this is a joke.

Is a number to complain to?

They keep saying watch online, red button or connected tv, love to see one of them explain what a connected tv.

Comfortable win and would have been more emphatic over a best of 33.

I thought it was a great match, 13-10 in the end, and O'Sullivan was behind after the opening session. I don't know, maybe it's wishful thinking on my part, but if Neil Robertson can't give O'Sullivan a decent game then it really is all a bit pointless. :smile:

Anyway, unlucky for Hawkins not to be on a red after that great split, maybe he could have started to put something together, but things are just not going for him. O'Sullivan with a chance to pull further away...

[RaveDave]

ffs there is nothing on the red button why the **** aren't they showing it on there? At least it is on BBCs website I guess...

Yes we could watch it online or Euro but why is it not on the red button? You've got stations like bbc 3 doing nothing until 5:30, why not bang it on there? Hopeless!

BBC3 shares bandwidth with CBBC during the daytime so it's not possible.
