Two frames in a row thrown away by Williams. Certainly not the way to beat O´Sullivan.

Seriously though, Williams should be dominating this game. Ronnie has been rubbish and the stats say it all: Long pot success: 7%.
Quick fire break by Williams on the last frame of the session to make it 3-5 down now. The 2nd session can only get better.Last edited by João; 26 April 2008, 08:45 PM.

I loved it! Dramatic, you could feel the tension in the air. Black ball finish, lovely doubled pink from Ronnie in the 3rd, some amazing long ones from Williams, big breaks and all.
Yes, Ronnie's long potting was abysmal. 9%. Williams' was 69%. But Ronnie's breakbuilding was far superior and his safety was decent whereas Williams had to resort to some very imaginative shots to continue his breaks.
We're in for a cracker, I think. And what pleased me the most, apart from the gorgeous 140, was the fact that Ronnie tried for snookers in the second frame. Two snookers he needed to tie and he tried for them. I can't remember the last time I've seen him do that and this is yay for the Ronnettes.
Ronnie's long potting can improve and so can Mark's positional play.
All in all, this won't be a walk in the park and Ronnie is no Mark Davis.
Nor does Mark resemble Chuang too much.S.P.I.L.F.

Maguire picks on taller man
Maybe Maguire should pick on someone his own size next time. McCulloch would have given him a good fight out there like he did in York. Two fiery figures colliding is like watching a boxing matchsigpic

i always look at the possitives looking negatively is for wimps......Robbo has to take his chances and put maguire under presure like Hendry says today he hates to be far infront .you can only lose it and mentally maguire isnt the strongest ...so 1st 2 frames if Robbo can win them and go in to the interval at no worst than 9-3 i believe Maguire will start to think .......
but the key to it has to be Robbos play .....today he was as bad as maguire was good........and maguire had it easy with the chances Robbo left him....THAT HAS TO CHANGE TOMOROW.......

Is this the guy I saw at every WC since I started watching snooker in 2003, always sitting next to the player? Is he a member here?Originally Posted by Maija View PostHas anyone else spotted Shrek in the audience?! Right behind Ronnie, wearing an "I heart snooker" tee
I'm chuffed to bits for Ali, the evening session was short but sweet. Is this something like the first semi this season that Murf will not appear in?ALI FOR WORLD CHAMP 2012
