Cheers Dean.

but only in BO9 and above matches; BO7 and lower, no MSI at all

This is the most boring tournament ever because it's obvious that Ronnie is gonna win.

Robertson easily has the game to beat Ronnie, not sure about Allen, but after Robertson pinched that last one I fancy him to go on and win from here.

Perry can be quite a tricky customer too (both Robertson and Perry practice at my old club funnily enough, or both used to anyway).

I don't like the way the players aren't trusting the ref's decisions
Yes you did touch the red I saw it with my on eyes and no the pink doesn't spot as I've checked

[Fahrenheit]

the referee can ask anyone they deem to may have a better view of the incident and make a decision based on the information he gathers.
In this instance the referee should have stood by his first decision, he was correct from the actual moment and did not need any other evidence; he should have said that the ball moved, please continue the game. :wink:

Yea I guess it makes sense in some circumstances where the ref didn't get a good look at something, or didn't see something at all, he should ask. But in this case he obviously knew he saw the ball move. Definitely should have stood by his first decision as you said.

[Odrl]

Not looking good for Allen now. He only needed 12 penalty points with reds still on the table, which means he could have got them from a single snooker, but he conceded anyway. And he also conceded a previous frame when he needed 8 penalty points. Hopefully he still has some fight left in him. :smile:

[Odrl]

There's my answer, lovely break. :smile:

what is there outside the arena that's so interesting? ??? Jesus. ....maybe there's topless dancers I dunno but this keep p##ssing off every opportunity is tiresome.

[Odrl]

Nice comeback from Allen, virtually a ball away from forcing the decider, and he couldn't have got much closer with that last red...

A good win for Robertson then. He didn't panic at 2-0, made that excellent clearance in the third frame, and he didn't panic when Allen was coming back at him either.

I suspect tonight's match won't be as good as this one, but you never know... :smile:

[badgermeat]

I thought Roberton v Allen was a fantastic match, great ebb and flow with some controversy packed in. Was kind of hoping for a decider, but could be a better final if Ronnie gets through.

[cyberheater]

Nice win Robbo. Hope to watch the match on my way home tomorrow.

So. It's going to be Ronnie and Robbo in the final. Tasty.

[daffie]

I'm enjoying this first frame, but Perry will need to take all the chances he gets if he is to have any chance of winning.

[jrc750]

Very unusual taking players off to sort out the camera problems ehh

[daffie]

What the hell is happening out there??!! Just now the tournament director came out, spoke with the players, they left the arena. The announcer said something about a 'massive bang'...and right then eurosprtplayer blacked-out!

Edit : so camera problems eh?

[Porter]

Why would the players have to leave the arena? Did the crowd have to leave also.
