I found Shaun's post match comments about his match with Ronnie very interesting.

I wonder how many of O Sullivan's recent opponents who didn't have a chance feel after seeing Shaun squander the chances he had this match.

This trickshot dude irritates me for some reason. He looks like he should be working in IT.

God, why am I such a judgmental arse!?

5 balls with 5 cues?? WTF, i'm shouting no chance at the tv before he plays it even though i know he will do it, unreal!!!!

Barry Hawkins is getting nervy about the prospect of another drubbing at Ronnie's hands so he's tanking.

LOL. I think you might be right. He's seen that Shaun got royally shafted and doesn't fancy another touch your toes session.

Did you see the size of his tip that he used to get that massive spin on the ball. It was massive.

Tension doesn't come into play during a simple break or safety shot. I felt no tension watching Neil takeover 1 minute on some simple shots.

Each to their own. I certainly feel the tension and I am sitting at home drinking a beer.

Both players must feel the tension during a long frame/session. It comes down to who can handle it better.

I do wonder if Neil playing slowly hurts his form as his normal pace is faster unless it is a complex shot.

Really enjoying this match.

Centu..... No, i wont say it.

...then I will. Century nr 100 heads-up!

edit : ouch...jinxed again

This Dale-Hawkins match is heading for a very exciting conclusion. Who would have thought that when Dale was 11-5 down?

If Neil was playing his proper game he would've got this century ages ago.

I think the problem with Robbo and his speed of play is this. Folks don't mind watching a naturally slow player. I actually do enjoy the slow Ebdon frames almost as much as the quick Ronnie ones. But when you have a naturally quick player like Robbo deliberately slowing down his game it does make you wonder why. I can understand that he's behind and that he's trying to be accurate and careful. On the other hand. I do feel that there is a touch of gamesmanship going on here.

Indeed. Totally agreed. Neil can play fast and he usually does. But now he tries to slow down, fragment the frames and annoy Trump....hopefully it wont work and Judd will win.

Wow - what a great come-back from Dom. Barry must be getting worried now.
