if Dennis Taylor could stop sucking up to Ronnie I might actually enjoy watching the match

[Bigmeek]

Ronnie giving Steven's a boost with that show of frustration. . .seems to be on a knife edge.

Would you say that Ronnie's cue was "whippy" lol.

[PatBlock]

At least Matthew had a good start. Would be great if he could get a lead today. Still I think Stevens isn't good enough any longer to beat Ronnie over such a long distance. But I'm with you and hope for a Stevens-win.

Yes not a bad start, 2 - 2, I'll take that for now. Matthew seems to have made up his mind to 'go for it' doesn't he, Hmm...

Does anyone know what kind of extender Steven's are using? You know, that special one...

[Raldon]

Is it just me, or Allen looks a bit tired?

[daffie]

Barry has brought the match back to only 10-11 behind...a nice couple of frames coming up I'm sure

I believe it is a solid long extension he got with his cue from Hunt & O'Byrne. Painted hence the chiped through extensive use

[Neil Taperell]

It's a Hunt & O'Bryne extension . Had it for years . Battered to bits isn't it!

[alphabetagaga]

ronnie doing what he does best

[Neil Taperell]

Always wondered why extensions are not made with a flat on them ,as the majority of players have flats on their cues .

Mainly when players use the rest with it , it must be a different feel .

[brusque]

Shakin STevens had great chances to be 5-3 up instead of being 5-3 down .... I guess RoS scared him with that cue thingy. Under pressure RoS would have melted as always but SHaking STevens has always shaken when its time to act ... dissappointin to see this guy waste his talent

What the hell was Mark Allen thinking going for that pink the way the black was positioned? Threw his championship run away.

[Neil Taperell]

It looked like , to , He had the look of a man that knew he wasn't going to win . Very strange shot the pink , didn't take long to make his mind up .

[daffie]

Yep typical Mark Allen. Sometimes he gets away with it, other times not. I consider Mark to be a rather untidy player.

But well done to Barry...what a win once again for him!
