World Championship 2012 1st Round Discussion

WHAT a pack shot from Chuang from very close to the black off the cushion!!

Maguire and Perry seem intent on making the century charity some serious money, 3 centuries in 3 frames I heard? am watching Premier League Darts tonight with highlights of snooker later, got snooker on in background, Williams doing everything he needs to, so classy he's a great outside bet!

afraid that williams will lose again against ronnie

I hope MJW will finally beat ROS in the second round. I dont understand why he always struggle against him.

And a bit silly question, but is it me, or Liu´s face is kind of Hendry´s face in chinese version?

[PatBlock]

Perry must be very disappointed after such a good start, he'll have to be careful now not to let this first session slip away from him.

BTW, he always reminds me of the late great Pete Postlethwaite.

id still back ronnie, but if ur gonna back anyone against Ronnie I think Williams and Robertson are just about even to back to beat the Rocket! Mind Ronnie does look focused this year, seems intent to try and achieve his full potential and greatness!

Mark is someone whose play Ronnie respects for reality, so, Ronnie makes sure that he plays as well as possible every time they face each other and Mark is never using the tricks to make it a tactical contest and keep Ronnie away from finding his rhythm.
These elements combined, Ronnie isn't the easiest opponent for sure.

Then again, you can never write off someone in Mark's caliber. He is one of the handful of most natural players alongside Ronnie and Matthew (Stevens).

I didn't get to see any of Perry-Maguire. How is Maguire playing?

marks best chance to win the uk and wc was last season but one certain higgins came in his path, should have won both matches, especially the uk final, can believe he lost that one

[breakman16]

Meanwhile looks definitely like Maguire has the old backside in gear tonight!!

97% pot rate, so not too badly.

Mark has completely taken his foot off the gas and sees his lead cut back to three.
No Perry-Maguire for me, then..

Thanks, but the scoreboard says 4-2. I thought 97% could have brought him a 6-0 lead (=

[Masterdoctorgenius]

i gotta the feeling that after losing two close finales at the start of the season mark doesnt seem the same anymore

seems losing so many close matches after leading comfortably has gotten to him abit.

could have won 4 tourneys more by now

That's stats for you. But he's gone into a 5 - 2 lead now anyway.

But Robertson isn´t scared of O´Sullivan.
