Bravo Ryan & good luck in the final. I like John a lot but I'd love it if Ryan won a tournament. :snooker: :snooker:

[mushka]

Oh, no.

[scoo24]

Tut tut, Kath. Ali's time will come soon

[mushka]

I mean, it was such a great match, but God, did I wish for a different outcome.

[Kathrin]

you speak german ?

[scoo24]

you speak german ?

Naturlich

[mushka]

Well, with the inserted *, I believe even those, who cannot speak German, understand.

[Kathrin]

Naturlich

I see, I have to be careful next time

[scoo24]

Don't worry about it. I thought I'd pick on you a little to take your mind off the result. But seriously, I think Ali's time will come soon. He's become more consistent and has a lot more self belief than a few seasons ago

I think having reached the final of the WC and doing his first 147 at the Crucible has changed a lot in him and that reflects on his game. I know I´m very very optimistic with my avatar but you never know. he just has to overcome his ROS "fear" then everything will be fine...

omg, I almost lost my nerves watching Day and Carter match. it was so close to end up in disaster for Day, but finally he won. I really want to see him winning his first ranking title.

I found his match with Ronnie in this year´s NIT excelent. I know we could get again into a discussion about the last red, but it was such a change from their last encounter. And you could feel it right from the beginning, whereas reading Ali´s interview before the World´s final (retroactively).. you could tell it wasn´t the right mind-set.
That´s why I want to see those two play again, because I believe in NIT we have seen the last necessary step.

We're all entitled to our dreams, mine would be seeing Stephen Lee winning the world title which may seem very unrealistic to some but hey, one has to keep hanging on to hope & faith

I think the chance of Ali winning the world title is a much more realistic one than Stephen doing it so keep yer fingers crossed
