Ronnie O Sullivan - Ali Carter - final

[checkSide]

I haven't bothered to read the whole thread, so forgive me if this has been mentioned.

Ali Carter has been hanging out with Ebdon too much.
Ebdon has only beaten Ronnie 5 times in 15 attempts, so he doesn't know how to beat him himself. He has never devised any tactics to beat Ronnie consistently, and now he is promoting his losing style to Carter under the guise of "matchplay".

No one can beat Ronnie tactically!!

Carter would be much better off playing his natural game....

Cheers

So what do you all reckon the end of session score will be? 8-8? 11-5? (I'm saying 9-7.)

Thought 9 frames are to be played tonight? If so, I'm guestimating a 11-6 scoreline.

ROS has so much self believe and calmness that he can afford to bide his time...and pounce when the time comes, and it seems now is that time.

Am I the only one or are any of you lot getting sick of the commentators?

Some of their comments are becoming so repetitive and clichey. One that I'm sick off is

"Where's the cue ball going"

I think even the rest of the commentator team is getting very tired of the cueball shout from JV. He tried to tone it down somewhat, but every now and then he lapses into old mannerisms.

And he does it again, right on cue

Well wouldn't you believe it he said it again......

I swear this "WHERES THE CUEBALL GOING" routine is getting tedious.

The one upside of Hendry retiring is he's now in the commentary box, and he really is an excellent commentator. The best of the current lot IMO alongside Foulds and Griffiths.

Ooh, I didn't realise. Awesome!

He screamed it into the microphone twice last frame. It's getting pretty old now.

You know when Ali is feeling the pressure when he starts getting overly annoyed at a piece of good fortune for his opponent. And this then turns into a black cloud that alters his judgement and play. Needs to get a grip...fast!

Who's the commentator who's not an ex player. I think he isn't anyway. He's good.

I agree! Hendry is excellent and has fresh insights, which the other commentators don't have (or share).

Ridiculous good fortune again by Carter.

[Ronnie's tip]

Ridiculous fluke...
