He'll get a max now ive said that lol.

Ali's body language says he's had enough here.

10-7 Selby. Close frame that was, Ali could have won it as well. Looking forward to this final session...hoping we will get a close & tense finish (with Selby winning it in the end of course).

It's only my opinion and I am a ronnie fan. Styles make fights and peak Higgins style gives ronnie a lot of problems. Federer is probably greatest player ever but his record against nadal is awful.

You will get the bunch of predictable idiots who wont watch the event once theyre favourite player goes out....im one of them.......once jim goes out of qualifiers i wouldnt watch another qualifying match, and once ronnie goes out of a major event, i have ZERO interest left in the event. Thats why its so devestating when either/both of them lose.

Mick Price could beat Ronnie by the same scoreline in 5 minutes.

God himself would have to come down from above and enter the event in order for osullivan to only reach 5 in a best of 35.

[scottley]

I'd be lying if i said i did'nt look forward to watching Ronnie the most, but i'd happily sit through any match.

I've recorded it. Looking forward to seeing it.

But you can't blame folks wanting to watch Ronnie. He is the superstar of snooker.

I don't, but to me these people aren't true fans of the game. I can't get enough of the sport, regardless of who's playing, and if there were more people like that the game would be in a whole better place.

On the (very) rare occasions I'm anywhere where people are discussing the game, RO is almost always the focus of attention in the discussion. I just want to slap them and say, "You're a bunch of predictable idiots! Go away from me quickly."

Shame to see such a poor turn out for Doherty Vs McManus - just another indicator that the game is fast becoming a young man's sport. Here we have two 90s boys battling it out in a match which, for me at least, has a lovely nostalgic air about it, and no one's interested in watching

A peak ronnie would beat a peak higgins 18-5, and that wouldnt involve a betting inquiry.

It wasn't domination but it isn't a fluke. Higgins at his peak is awfully hard to beat. His safety meant that you got few easy chances and he cleared up when he got his chances. My view is that a peak Higgins usually beats a peak ronnie.

It's all about Ronnie these days. Once he goes out, the game will have much less interest (at least in the UK). A lot of the young players do not have the consistency to keep generating and living in their hype. Trump could have been more popular if he had been more consistent.

Better than a peak Ronnie?? No way. Hendry, Davis, White all say that Ronnie at his best is the best ever. In my observation, they're right.
