Ronnie O'Sullivan v Matthew Stevens - Semi Final

[LittleMissAlexa]

if ronnie wins this frame matthew will need to win the final session 8-1

[Odrl]

I think this was probably the final blow. What a chance he just wasted...

Even if it goes 14-10, it's difficult to see O'Sullivan losing from there.

Big chance missed there. I expected him to get that pink, but it was far from easy.

[snookerfran]

See...both players with a smile on their face...all's well, wonderful to see that.

Yeah, lovely camaraderie this frame Funny to see Ronnie repeatedly going wrong side of the blue, he's usually great with position. Could be an important frame, that one. Matthew's got his work cut out for him now.

I thought it was missable too, the swedish commentator would have potted it 10 times out of 10 though, considered it a sitter.

[PatBlock]

That could change the match folks, Matthew missing that pink!

Can't believe he didn't just make sure of it.

What a great session this has been though.

Ronnie's in such good spirits lately, I really like seeing that. He seems to have found solid ground.

If there ever was a must-win frame...this is it for Matthew!

The referee should've got in with the joke too with a bit of banter, miserable git. Then again, he doesn't look like one for jokes, more like the sort of bloke who'd smash your head in a car door for looking at him funny.

He doesn't look like Vinnie Jones to me

It's Brendan Moore isn't it? Nah, he's a good bloke, often has a laugh and a joke with the players.

I'm sure that's true, but one step out of line I reckon and BAM! Right in the car door. They'll know not to be too funny.

Great break Matthew, fantastic reply from Ronnie there!!

It wasn't (=

Good frame this final has been. Tense battle.

[snookerfran]

What a pot!

[daffie]

Wow...Matthew really missed the boat on 2 occasions. What a shame to end the session at 15-9. But still well played...and a fantastically enjoyable session of snooker...thanks guys!
