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

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!

The slow and labourious,
All of us, glorious parts of the whole!

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

I don't think Ronnie's bored, I think something's bothering him - he spent 5 minutes adjusting his trousers, tucking his shirt in three times etc, keeps getting up from the shot, grimacing a lot, making occasional sighing noises. I don't know if he's ill, distracted or has some kind of issue with his cue, but I hope he turns it round tomorrow. Perry's playing alright, but still made quite a few mistakes tonight, Ronnie just failed to capitalise.

Fair play to Perry, a few people thought this would be a walkover, but Joe is showing he's no mug, looking forward to the next 2 sessions, should be intersting.After 15 reds and 15 blacks i did this http://youtu.be/DupuczMS2o4

Ronnie always plays the aggressive shot. When he gets them it looks great and he wins matches, when he doesn't it looks wreckless.
There's only one way to play snooker I'm afraid: like you don't give a crap. Ronnie knows that, and that's what separates him from everybody else.
Waiting for chances, keeping it tight, refusing anything half difficult. Nope sorry, doesn't work.WPBSA Level 2 - 1st4Sport Coach

I've always been a bit neutral in my opinion of Ali Carter, but I have to say his attitude is starting to grate a little. I'm watching a rerun of his match with Selby and his reactions to his misses and runs of bad 'luck' make him look like he thinks the game owes him a living. He goes back to his chair every time his break ends, shaking his head, muttering to himself, sighing, smirking ironically at any flukes Selby gets.
If a player isn't getting results in a match, it's because he isn't playing well enough. It's nobody's 'fault' but their own.Last edited by Billy; 25 April 2014, 01:22 AM."Kryten, isn't it round about this time of year that your head goes back to the lab for retuning?"

No excuse for it really, sometimes you have to take your hat off when your opponent plays a great shot, i'd never noticed any unsportsman like behaviour from Ali before tonight, but he made himself look a little bit spoilt earlier i thought.After 15 reds and 15 blacks i did this http://youtu.be/DupuczMS2o4
