By the way: am I the only one who is starting to get a bit annoyed by the BBC worshipping ROS like a new born christ?

nope, don't think you're the only one :wink:

I much prefer watching Eurosport worship of ROS like he's a new born Christ.

Not by a long stretch of the imagination..

[Ronnie's tip]

Great start for Bingham.

He always seems to start well vs ROS.

[Ronnie's tip]

In the 2 matches I've seen from him so far, Ronnie's safety has been pants in both.

He just hasn't been punished.

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.

I've just spent the last half hour watching the snooker on Eurosport, cursing the BBC for not covering it, even on the red button.

I'm so used to the snooker being on BBC2 that it never even occurred to me to try BBC1

Anyone who has that attitude to snooker isn't a snooker fan in my book, and therefore don't count.

[Ronnie's tip]

This is a big frame. 2-0 and it's looking similar to last year.

LOL. I know. I've done the same before.

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

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'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^^

[Ronnie's tip]

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

Got a bit lucky not to leave that red.

[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.
