The Masters Jan 11 - 18, 2015

I'm a Ronnie fan, and while I agree that "we" tend to be fanatical, it's no different than a fave football team getting knocked out of a tournament. For a lot of ROS fans still watching, the idea of a Murphy/Allen vs Robbo final isn't too appealing, I'll still be watching though.

What was it that Robbo was alluding to regarding Ronnies tip? Apparently he wasn't happy about something?

I really do like Mark's short punchy cue action.

The one thing I don't like is that he often looks at the white when he strikes the cue ball.

So it's first blood to Mark. Good first frame.

when ROS was about to walk on he was looking at his tip and asked someone off screen for a file or sandpaper. I assume someone later handed him something and he treated his tip.

I think Murphy needs to be a little more patient.

Looks like I finally put my money right .... Allen is no Maggie ... Allen can win scrappy n can score big too .. Shaun has no clue in safety ... his only chance is his potting n that does nto always work .. no wonder he has not won much ... come on Allen ... both were gifts from Smurf but one still has to put it away n Allen did just that very well

When he picks up his 8th world title. I might agree with you.

By that time I might agree as well.

As a pure 'snooker' fan I don't understand this analogy - Ok to have a favorite player or team but in football if sorry I mean when England or Ireland get knocked out of a football tournament I can still watch your Brazil's Argentina's play in the final and enjoy it for what it is.

Talking absolute rubbish again. Shaun has won just about every tournament in snooker including the world championship.

Well Shaun you'd better make the most of this chance!

It's because they are ROS fans and not snooker fans.

Allen .. what have u done .. wat a chance to be 3-0 up without really doing much ... wasted big time

[daffie]

I spotted referee Olivier Martiel sitting in the front row enjoying the snooker as well. That's pretty cool

(hope he's not checking up on Alex Crusan )

[Rane]

Important frame for Murphy just as he was on his way to 0 - 3.
