[Ronnie's tip]

I couldn't believe ROS took that red on. He was always going to miss. To be fair though Ronnie made two mistakes and left easy pots. Perry missed two and got lucky once, and left Ronnie with a long one the next.

4-1.

[brusque]

why is Ron so stupid ... I mean why did he even attempt that impossible last red? I hate to see when he just does not apply himself n gifts away frames .... i already want him to lose to Perry just for that lack of respect he shows to the game

Well it was far from impossible lol

[nicklowry12]

The strangest thing about the way he's playing in my opinion is that his safety has been really good, just missing what should be easy pots.

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

Uh oh, Ronnie O may have just woken up.

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

[Ronnie's tip]

5-3 Perry.

I'd say that was a fair score.

[Dr_Doctor]

Well played Perry. Keep it up.

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!

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

[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.

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

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.

[Billy]

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.
