C'mon Bazza!

You can't put those last three frames down to luck. More like fantastic bottle, the likes of which I haven't seen from O'Sullivan before in the WC.

What a battle !! Fantastic end to this session....

[neuronic]

Stuff... stuff.

[daffie]

Terrific stuff!

What a classic tactical final frame this can prove to be with the balls scattered all over the table. Loving this!

[Billy]

What the hell's WT talking about, saying that neither want to take the red on over the corner bag because the cannon on the yellow is on? So what? Blue's virtually over the yellow pocket anyway. Some advice for future reference, Willie; a player doesn't have to take black after a red.

This frame will need a few visits to finish it off. what a messy table now. It's been a fantastic final session of this match.

Exactly!!! :snooker:

Can't believe Barry refused that plant. I could have potted that with a witch's broom stick... seriously.

[daffie]

This frame really is like a game of chess. Fantastic! :snooker:

Hawkins played out of his skin, very well done

[gmg]

Sickener. Can't bear the prospect of one of those pathetic fist pumps from Hawkins so going to turn it off before that.

[cyberheater]

Well done Barry. Pity to see Ronnie go but it must be great to beat him.

Think that could be the end of O'Sullivan. Wouldn't be surprised to hear of a retirement soon after this loss.

I think the only reason he has carried on playing this last few seasons has been in the hope he could match or better Hendry's haul of 7 but I think he knows now that his game is not quite up to the level needed over the duration of the world champs.
