  • Apart from Ken that was the easiest run to the final I can remember. Bingham is playing brilliantly though, if both Bingham and Ronnie play as they have been then Bingham will take it. Same goes for Allen.

      I think they just mean 4 in a row for him. They just acknowledged he didn't play in 15.

        Yes indeed, there is definitely fun to be had ripping the pi55 out of the inane tripe he spouts. Generally people who talk too much just enjoy repeating what they/we already know, if he tried listening now and again he might learn something.

          I was thinking more of laughing at the other bod, imagining the eyes rolling, the w.t.f looks and general despair at the diarrhoea which he effortlessly spews out of his mouth :wink:

            Speaking of which, did anyone else spot Ronnie giving Tom one of these during their match. O'Sullivan had played a safety off the pink and in doing so nudged two reds into a possible plant. When Tom walked round to weigh it up, O'Sullivan gave him a look with brows furrowed, then shook his head as though to say, "You're having a laugh if you think that's on."

            As it turned out the contact point was too thin from where Tom had been left the white, so maybe Ronnie had a point. Just struck me as a little odd, though.

            • They should mic the players up

              The bod I mainly play gets "Jammy bstrd", "Bet you couldn't do that again!" etc for good shots and "Good Shot" etc for flukes

              • Eurosport bod said that Allen and Bingham fell out, does anyone know what was it about?

                Dodgy tips? :wink:

                  • Didn't expect the Bingo v Allen match to be this cagey, I think Mark needs to attack and flow because Stuart will just do an old Pro trick on him and school him if they play it like chess.

                      it was in the Australian open about 7 years ago, Mark Allen said Bingham did not have the bottle to win tournaments and what happened in 2015 Bingham became World champion, beating Robbie uWilliams 10-7 (last 32), the 2006 World champion Graeme Dott 13-5 (last 16) Ronnie in the quarter finals 13-9, judd Trump 2011 World finalist 17-16 semis and 2005 World champion Shaun Murphy 18-15 to become world Champion.

                        Thanks, far more sensible than Cc. Was Bingham 2015? Blimey I thought it was longer ago - but then I take back the thanks for reminding me of Dott\Ebdon, and the self-annointed Mr Snooker (why isn't he commentating tonight?)

                        Tbh, I am far from a Bingham fan, but he has played really well this week.

                        • He’s playing brilliantly. If he plays like this then only A game Ronnie beats him.

                          • Haha and as I say that he misses an easy pink. Well not easy but I’d expect him to get it.

                              Well if playing brilliantly he would have

                              It depends how scared etc he is of ROS as so many players (Elliott excluded) play below themselves against him due to the fear....

                              The bod I play most was very very good, and this week I was explaining that people playing him think that one miss will cost the Frame so they pressure themselves, while he knows\expects them to miss. It took a lil explaining, but ROS does miss and isn't always (even usually?) 1 miss and they lose the Frame to him. I know he has nearly 1k tons etc and is by far the best ever with a silky action that is so fluid that it is almost liquid, and wow to his matches after the Reardon sessions.

                              • Bingham has beaten Ronnie at the World’s so I don’t think he would struggle with that. Allen night though I think in a longer match.
