Ronnie O Sullivan - Ali Carter - final

Gotta love sarcastic kids

Like Carter?

[Ronnie's tip]

The whole etiquette thing is stupid IMO. Who cares if someone raises their hand or not. If they do, that's nice. If they don't, so what?

Tip, enough with your predictions. Every single session you say the same thing.

I thought he'd beat Stevens and Ebdon, in fairness. Though I thought Stevens would get closer. I was 99.9% sure Robertson would win, admittedly.

Schhhhhhh.. His jinxing has been flawless so far.

Yes. It really is outrageous that Trump doesnt always Put his hand up. Could probably lead to the demise of snooker in the end.

Something has to be done. Hopefully Hearn is all over this.

I think this was a massive session to be honest. Ronnie could have won it 7-2 quite easily if the balls went different. There's still a long way to go, but Carter goes on to win this match I think this will be the session we all look back on.

Saying that, 10-7 is a nice lead to have. If Ronnie can win the first frame tommorow than that goes up to 4 and it starts to look a lot different.

I worry about O'Sullivan though. I said it before, but he's getting far too much hype. He's not playing that well at all, he's just had 2 or 3 great sessions and moments of genius. I definitely don't think he's as good as he was in 2004 or 2008.

I think Carter is far more likely to raise his game, simply because it can't get much worse. He missed something like 4 blacks from the spot - that's easy to fix over night. Ronnie was just all over the place. His long potting was pretty terrible at times, kind of like how it was 18 months ago and positionally he was poor.

I can easily see Carter overtaking Ronnie tommorow.

Shut up and get some sleep.
Carte easly overtaking ronnie?!if the pressure is on ronnie will respond, cant see him playing this bad either. Was a bit drained after the long day. He would have settled for any kind of lead. He knows that if he wins every session he will be WC. For me alis head had gone a little bit. Can see a collapse from him tomorrow

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks Carter has come across as a complete tit this tournament.

If Carter raises his game, so will Ronnie.

As Davis suggested, Ronnie could win every session on his 'B' game.

Carter will have to come out tomorrow afternoon on fire.

Anything less than top form from Carter, and Ronnie will just canter across the finishing line.

Most players wont cry to the press about run of the ball.

Some can look intenetional but most players will call them if theyre not.

Carter does the 'woe is me' routine when something goes against him, but then completely ignores all the lucky nudges and flukes he receives.

I don't like his temperment, and I don't think it can win a match like this. Something doesn't go his way and he becomes an immature boy.

[narl]

Can flukes be intentional?

[doorag]

Difference is he was complaining that emo boy wasnt acknowledging the fact he was fluking. He just played on like his flukes were intentional when it was obvious they weren't.
