2014 World Championship - Discussion

Fantastic break that.

Clearly another thing from Ronnies point of view is that he knows he's hammered Hawkins before.

The thing about Ronnie is that he doesn't invite kicks because of how positively he plays. In fact. he gets just as many as everybody else, but because he never makes a fuss about them or bothers having the white cleaned, people presume he doesn't get them.

Exactly this!

Well kick wasnt Barry's fault. Everything seems to play for ROS at this championship, that sucks

During his 147 against Ding at the Welsh Open Final, he had a massive kick on the blue, but just shrugged it off, got down and potted the pink. How many players would have done that during a 147 ??

It's looking like 5-2 behind now...Barry needs to up his game...and quickly!

Relax guys, you don't mention it when Ronnie gets a kick...Probably because he doesn't complain about it either..part of the game

[nYLo]

Well that was not a kick

Yes but in that last frame. Ronnie didn't have a shot on and played safe. Barry still could have won that with a better safety shot. He didn't. He knows he needs to play at the top of his ability to beat Ronnie.

And not miss easy browns into middle bags.

Maybe we'll see the kick count graphic again, like in last year's semi-final with Trump. :smile:

I know...indeed, very frustrating. Choking + kicks ruining it...

[missneworleans]

I am getting so sick&tired of players bottling it against ROS...every time at the end of a frame they choke or get a kick and leave him in to clear up...basically giving away frames.

Dammit it's just so utterly frustrating for someone who likes a close match! I can see ROS running away with it...again.

Already unbelievable stuff is happenning. Barry was making an amazing clearance only to get an enrormous kick, and suddenly O'Sullivan is 4-2. Hasn't deserved that by any means. This gime is some cruel unfair **** sometimes

The bbc need to get with the program.
If they had a sport channel, or considered showing the snooker and their other sports on BBC3 instead of the stupid comedy that's killing the station, they'd be able to show the whole tournament. You can't even sky+ the matches you'll miss unless you watch them on Eurosport. Too many cut-offs and station changes.
