2014 World Championship - Discussion

Good start for Joe, but Ronnie did seem quite subdued and I don't expect that to last for three sessions. I was a bit surprised he didn't try for the one needed snooker at the end of the 3rd frame, yellow and green seemed to be a nice target to get in behind, could've made a big difference that. We're bound to see a better performance from Ronnie tomorrow, but a lead is a lead, and I'm sure Joe will take confidence from this evening's result.

C'mon GJ!

Expext at least a 5-3 from ronnie tomorrow. He will be up for it i am sure

Ronnie's tip, even losing 2 of the first 3 isn't to bad! that's 7-4, only 3 behind!

[sealer]

He was cuing across today really bad. Perry played very well. Ronnie surly is pleased with the score. He was close to be 4 all with the worst performance of the year(apart that qualifier). He should improve for the next session as it would be hard not to

Yeah that's interesting, but Steve Davis said that earlier he rolled the black in for the ton, ignoring position on the last red.

Well, if the frame's safe, sure he's going to go for the 100, but I think he means he has to resist the temptation to risk frames for the sake of a century.

I think you need to youtube some compilation videos of shots Ronnie's taken on. He quite often pots the impossible.

Yeah when he pots them, fans would say "he's a genius". When he misses them, they would say "he didn't want to win."

Ronnie's mannerisms can make himself look really good, or look like he's not bothered.

If Ronnie loses the next session 5-3 it will be over, utter garbage of long ball success, the red he missed in last frame would of been easier if he rolled in for the black!

Hmm.. I'd say if Ronnie loses the next session 7-1, then it's over for him.

[Ronnie's tip]

Last time ROS was 5-3 down in the WC was against Robertson and he won 6 or 7 on the trot the next day. Not saying he'll need to do that again but the match could run away from him if he loses 2 of the first 3.

Do not be dumb bud ... anyone who knows anything about snooker would tell you that was the wrong shot under the circumstances.

Well played Perry. Keep it up.

[Ronnie's tip]

5-3 Perry.

I'd say that was a fair score.

I didn't say it was the right shot bud, just not impossible !!

[cox orange pippin]

Uh oh, Ronnie O may have just woken up.

[brusque]

Well it was far from impossible lol
