Wow. Stu should've put a candle on top of that frame and wrap it in some nice gift paper... Ôo

LOL! Well said.

Earlier I said that O'Sullivan's scoring was reliable, but he needed about 17 scoring visits to win this frame. He has struggled at times in this tournament, but I think today is probably his worst performance. Still, if he wins the next frame it's only 4-3...

how did Bingham miss that red :O

PS real surprised that ROS is loosing this

[neuronic]

Wouldn't mind Bingham vs Maguire in the final... not likely, but wouldn't mind.

[brusque]

Funnily ... it looks like ROS is the scared one here .... Bingham is useless usually but I gotta admire his performance today .... take that ROS ... let me see if u have an answer ... shame that its a best of 11

Stu's doing great so far! Good match, hopefully right up until the very last (re-spotted) black at 5 all

Lovely break in the next frame. Still could go either way.

[Ronnie's tip]

That was massive for Bingham.
3-1.

Very similar to last year. The 9-2 head to head is a little misleading. Bingham has caused ROS major problems as of late. Obviously beat him last year, the COC final was really close (8-8 before ROS won last two frames), there was a final frame decider in one PTC match IIRC.

[Dr_Doctor]

Could have been 3-0 if Bingham got the white further down from the red on the top cushion. Hmph!

[Ronnie's tip]

Tense!

I think it's a bit ridiculous how even the semi finals are first to 6. They should at least be first to 8.

[Ronnie's tip]

Gut instinct told me from the start Bingham would win this.

Got a bit lucky not to leave that red.

[neuronic]

I'm no ROS hater by any means, still love to see him in full flight, but I kinda think in a way it's gonna be good for snooker once ROS retires...
Pretty sure though they gonna try and build the sport around Judd Trump's game then :/

Anyways. Go Stewie^^

I've been sick of it for a while now. I think it's a little damaging to the sport because it creates fans who only watches one player and disrespects the others.

at the Welsh earlier this year, ROS was playing a last 32 or 16 match mid afternoon, with four tables all together.
There was one young lad (12-14yrs) he was just screaming all the way through the match, and then when ROS had won and had left the arena the lad was still screaming all the way leaving the arena, of course was not interested at all (maybe did not even notice) in the three other matches going on. He made so much noise he did not hear the calls for quiet from the referees or audience.
Of course (also) the lad's dad did not notice either.

I've noticed Ronnie having a lot of slow starts these days. He usually comes good in the end.
