Welsh Open 2010 - Round 1 Dicussion

[ore]

That shot on yellow with the rest was outrageous..

Ronnie is not tested and is through to last 16, where he is supposed to meet Ding

Yes, Ronnie was this outragrously careless (or disrespectful is the right word?) - that miscue in frame 1 & unstable rest in last frame - if he was playing against some King then his opponent might of went for some fist fight.

Binhgam must be biting himself badly now, for all those broken breaks, and Ronnies attitude as a cream on the top of that :/

[The Boss]

So, Ronnie played some decent stuff, missed badly on a couple of long reds but succeeded some, too, stole the 5th beautifully and went for his shots at the end of the 6h, lovely thing to watch.
And Stuart was presented with some opportunities on which he could have capitalised more.
Well done, Ronnie! And for the love of all things electrical, please externalise your shirt-ironing process next time, there are people who could have done a job a lot better than that! Pffftt!

(Love the gray shirt!)

Well he'll be home tomorrow, so maybe he'll get it washed and ironed there. Not sure what facilities the hotels have. Probably not good if he wants to go home

I didn't see any of this as disrespectful!!! Miscues happen to all the players... And why doesn't anyone find the rest shot disrespectful when Mark J plays it ever so often??!! Besides, what's wrong with a few crazy shots to entertain the crowd??!!

Ronnie was clearly disgusted with the way HE was playing... Stuart didn't take his "many" chances!!!

I can't see anything wrong with attitude there, no, not really. What was he supposed to do? Disappointed look on his face, a couple of hesitating movement on the cue ball, thinking a couple of minutes..

I love his attitude even more than his play

[montoya10]

Ok, that's it for this session.. I'll be back for the evening session, though

Come on Matthew!!

[ThePhantomPotter]

Ford defeated after good start. His inexperience showed in the end. He not only looks like Stan Laurel but plays a bit like him as well

Hope Allen plays better on Thursday. I can't see Stevens beating Murphy, so someone has to stop him! Go Mark!

[cue1]

BTW frame score was 101-46

Good observation

And a very good comeback from Mark Allen winning 5 on the bounce after a poor start

Well played Mark!!! :snooker:

[The Boss]

The 5th frame in King's match seems to be taking longer than the previous 4 put together

The Romford Godfather leads 60-25. The whitewash is on

Grrr. Campbell avoids the dreaded whitewash, but he still trails 1-4

King will want this match over quickly now so he can call his wife

[suemichelle]

I do love to see Murphy sitting in his chair- Go Stevens!

[cue1]

Solid start from Matthew I hope he can keep the pressure on Shaun:snooker::snooker::snooker:

[ore]

Is Stevens bottling? Murph is all there for beating...

[missneworleans]

Murphy looks quite poor so far but if he wins he will be right back
Cmon Matthew!

[missneworleans]

Stevens should have won that....

Mhm, Mark J carelessness is different

What could be wrong is that his attitude is different if he plays a lower ranked player. Don't know what's good about crazy/not-reponsible-enough shots when frame destiny depends on them. Would he do all the same if he played Robbo in R1 instead?

[missneworleans]

MJ is not careless he is relaxed and thats a good thing
