Hendry on Davis' question about Ronnie once again talking himself down in the after match interview...'none of the players pay any attention to what he says anymore'



Well the first session about to start...game on!

Hmm.... Really?

Hmm.... Really?

please note the icon, not serious mate, as much as ROS is with most of his press-chats

Ouch what a frame for Barry not to pinch! 2-2 at the interval would have been wonderful. But a great start to the match so far.

[Odrl]

Hawkins was on his way to a great clearance there, just needed one more great shot. :smile:

Good match so far, although 3-1 is a dangerous scoreline for players against O'Sullivan...

[alphabetagaga]

would ronnie have played the black to yellow differently? just felt barry didn't get enough action on the black

Yeah, so close to 2 - 2 and a brave attempt at leveling by Barry, maybe a safety on the yellow would have been a wiser choice, with hindsight of course. Good start as you say, just hoping Ron doesn't run away with it in the second half.

The guy with the HUGE glasses in the audience. His eyes must be even worse than mine!

Must win for Barry this one, 5 - 1, no chance.

Anyone else seeing a weird transition line on O'Sullivans cue like the back half of the shaft has a finish on it and the front portion is raw wood? Its noticeable when they do that behind\over the shoulder shot, goes from shiny to dull.
