Mark Allen v. Neil Robertson

[Odrl]

Quality 69 break from Robertson and just at the right time..

Yes, excellent. He had to play an number of tricky shots and got them, just when I was starting to get the feeling they weren't going in for him today.

[Odrl]

And Robertson takes the 4th frame with a couple of visits. Good match so far.

[chunkystyler]

great first 4 frames.

hope neil wins though. aussie!

[spike]

Think Allen will be somewhat relieved of the MSI....Robertson looking very dangerous now, but still I am hopeful of a final frame decider..

Can someone explain to me what just happened when Neil had to sit on that almost touching red ball? Did he intend to do that or was it accidental? What was his conversation with Tabb?

[Odrl]

A superb 71 break from Robertson to take the lead again. I wouldn't mind a decider either, it's been a great match.

Tabb blinked, while Robbo played a very delicate (and nervy) tap as the white was too close to the red, and didn't see him actually playing the shot then she said she'll take his word for it. He didn't look too impressed

Hells bells...... Robertson has got some serious cue power!!

[ADR147]

i think mark might have missed his window by going in to the interval at 2-2

Looks like Mark's fading a bit... It's not clinical snooker from Robbo so he can definitely get back into this :snooker: (He'll need to start soon though!)

He's looking good for 4-4 I can't separate them since Robbo got back to 2-2, he can't seem to get the advantage through his supposedly superior tactical game!

PS: I don't see you cheering I know, it's hard sacrificing our last chance to save face in the fantasy game

4-4 is good It's all quite scrappy out there! Mark's got a good chance here too!

I know! I know! It's got to be Mark though... Here we go

Come On Mark!!!:snooker:

Now you've got to cheer too!

He played a few lovely cannons early on in the break and a beautiful recovery shot :snooker:

You can't make me unless you start cheering properly and with the right size

[Odrl]

Good stuff from Allen now. Quite a few tricky breaks from both players today. Let's see if Robertson can take us into a decider...

Yeah! Nice break there, pity it wasn't a century but you can't have everything 5-4 now...

Come On Mark!!!:snooker:

Now I can make you! I was meant to do it earlier but I forgot
