Masters Quarter-Final Discussion

[stephen23]

Ronnie lead Ali Carter 3-2, but Carter didn't make the most of his opportunities

This happen every time when he face Ronnie....................

[Rane]

I´m getting tired of Carter. Playing like he´s the best in the world when there´s no pressure on and then collapses. Ebdon would have given Ronnie a harder fight even in his present bad form.

Boring match. And now we'll be having more non sense shouting for at least one more match.

I hope those nonsense shouting keep going thru any event

I agree - Ebdon would have give more effort than Carter, even in his present state.

I don't really think so. Ali took a bad day. happens. too bad for him, I thought he'd be able for more this time.

Cautious Ronnie, sadly falling apart Ali, couple of centuries, lots of safety play, some of it decent and thank you, Ronnie! After the cr@ppy day I've had, something lovely eventually.

Very very good uploads snookerfan92, but could you please not write the break figure in the title? I was out this evening, and came back to have a look on youtube if anyone had uploaded the match, but that spoiled all the excitement of the last three frames as I knew beforehand how the frame would finish.

sorry about that, I never realized.

Thanks for the videos. I loved them!

I know you are (rightfully or not, of my opinion you are aware ) angry with Ali after Bahrain, but do you seriously believe the outcome of the match was due to his lack of effort?


I suppose there is little chance of the Ali vs. Peter match miraculously appearing on Youtube? To cheer me up.

This is completely unfair to Ali. Before the match I highlighted that Ali always seems to struggle under pressure, facing Ronnie or not. He reached the final of both Group 1 and Group 2 in the Champion League Snooker and lost both. Before the match (actually during the Maguire-Robertson match), on BBC 2, Steve Davis and Ken Doherty backed the opinion expressed by Ronnie (after his match with Selby) that as long as Ali will not have won a tournament he will struggle with a particular level of pressure when reaching the very last stages of tournaments... It's not that he doesn't put the effort in; maybe on the contrary he is trying too hard and wanting it too much.

As for Ebdon he has been so bad recently that he would have given Ronnie at least as many opportunities than Ali, there's no question of that.

Hi Monique, Re: This is completely unfair to Ali. Before the match I highlighted that Ali always seems to struggle under pressure, facing Ronnie or not.

Correct & Right Monique. I would go as far as saying that Ronnie has the sign over him....

As for....As for Ebdon he has been so bad recently that he would have given Ronnie at least as many opportunities than Ali, there's no question of that....

The sucessful Pro's, only realy get there head down when the World's come around. Ebbo is one of them & doesn't put the work in until then.

Best,
