That plant always had a chance of going off that red.

It looked on at hindsight, but still, it was very unlucky.

[scottley]

Dennis, Willie and Ken think you could never have predicted it so i'm clearly wrong.

[statto]

I'm sick of all the excuses they're making for Barry. If it's not a kick then it's the "unlucky" plant or the weird bounce off the cushion. Stop making excuses!

[montoya10]

Sometimes, the player double checks or triple checks the pack to spot those, but even with that, it's impossible to foresee it clearly.

They are not really "excuses" though, they are legitimate reasons why Hawkins lost that frame. He had two great chances in the balls and broke down without making a mistake himself. :wink:

Here is another chance...

What about that miss on the pink ? Surely that was not Barry's fault....

[Dani]

Ronnie will need to improve his safety if he gets to the final.

What do you mean? Of course that was his fault...

[culraven]

Anyone else think Barry Hawkins looks like Pob?

[montoya10]

Brilliant pot from Barry, but he couldn't follow up, that was bad luck.
Ronnie still in with a chance for a steal.

[Dani]

That was a bit too much Ronnie...

[brusque]

What a clearance that would have been but Ronnie fell at the final hurdle .. still scary to see him turn it on just for fun anytime he wants to

[vilkrang]

Would have really had his foot on Barry's throat if he'd pinched that one.

[Masterdoctorgenius]

let off.
ronnie missing some key balls. potted some good ones. and than after all the hard work the last difficult shot

[montoya10]

Wow, what a let off now. Just when the frame looked set to be over..
