NI Trophy final discussion

[The Boss]

Harold muscles in front in the 7th frame, but Ronnie is back at the table, trailing 0-60

[bobbond]

Vintage Ronnie clearance to develop the reds and the brown at the end. That's why he's in the final.

[Marc]

Ronnie clears up and wins his 6th frame off the trot to lead going into tonights session 6-1 :snooker:

[The Boss]

But it's O'Sullivan who powers away to take the the frame and a 6-1 advantage before this evening's final session. Harold is going to need a double plate of steak, egg and chips if he's to have enough energy for the fightback

[Gothic35]

Harold is playing out of his pie crust, but its not good enough.. Ronnie now leads 4-1

Huh Dave hasn't played half as well as he did in previous rounds.

[pekmez]

finished 1. session???

[attilahun]

Just came home and wanted to see how are they doing...seems the final is over.....too bad, but i could see that happening....Harold, as Carter will never be able to defeat Ronnie......anyway, good performance from him, reaching the final.

Why did Ronnie bang the table with his cue? Kicks happen in every match to everyone. Surely he should get a warning at the very least.

Why? Has he hurt or threatened anyone? Damaged the table? Put his opponent off? Why warn any player who does this kind of things for an action which can only be viewed as not favourable to him in the first place? Damage the cue, show your opponent you're annoyed, allow the adversary to feed off your frustration...
Really! Preposterous.
And also absurd.
(Going to find some more partial synonyms. BRB.)


And also, permission to swoon over Ronnie's winning break in the 7th frame; 7 or 8 balls on the top cushion, blocking each other, and the pink and brown tied up.
Awesome steal, wonderful clearance!

Was it even a kick? I thought he was just annoyed because he concentrated on the canon more than the pot? Regardless, it was a nothing event...some people have just got it in for Ronnie.

I have no idea whether it was a kick or not and even if it was, I don't think it's important. He expressed his annoyance about missing that pot when in the balls.
Absolutely, racking brains to find one more (imaginary) flaw to pick on.

[hoggar]

Its one thing to wish for someone to lose because you dont like them, another altogether to deny their skill even when its pushed up in your face and moshed about for a bit. Give the man his due already.

The outcome of an Osullivan match depends of Osullivan himself. Today he has decided to win the NIT. But Harold deserves all the the respect.

Yes, very nice to see some well-known members are attending.

[In-off]

If Ronnie dropped a nuke on Belfast some people here would defend him

Equally, if he broke wind in the wrong key others would call for a life ban from the game

He's a great player but has a personality a lot of people don't take to
