Welsh Open 2010 : R2 Discussion

Ronnie looks like hes just woken up (hair).

Hahaha...likely he is...Iron Chef...
Perfect win for Ronnie...

It is likely Allen will meet him in the QF now...hopefully

[cue1]

Matthew was on a 147 but missed a red while on 56 Counter-attack from Mark... Hopefully

Come On Mark!!! :snooker:

I think I'm not overstating it if I say that Cope's performance today was the worst performance I've ever seen from any professional player on TV.

O'Sullivan didn't play as a title contender himself, but he didn't need to, so it's hard to say what kind of form he can produce. I have a feeling he'll be in trouble in the QF.

Trouble is, we never can be sure about Ronnie. And the opponent can turn up playing crappy as well But since Ronnie is playing tomorrow afternoon again, my eyes will not see this. Maybe that's for good?

But he plays in the evening (7pm UK time). If he's planned some fun for Friday night, might be into quick action (lose or win, regardless).

An excellent counter-attack from Mark (a 73 to the pink) puts him within one of victory... He leads 4-1:snooker:

Come On Mark!!! :snooker:

[ja.]

Come On Matthew!!! :snooker:

[cue1]

Why not? I'd like it to be a bit more competitive As long as Mark wins in the end of course

Come On Mark!!!

Well they should have better thought about drawing it on weekday afternoons, it's quite pathetic. Although Ronnie cannot complain, but lots of people miss his match on TV as well!

puzzling schedule today why not do it 3 sessions (1, 3 and 7pm) - 2 matches each
and now with 3 matches played at the same time 2 matches will be completely overlooked

I fully agree, a lot of things need to be changed for the game to remain popular, draw a lot of crowd, even get more advertising slots (on Eurosport for instance:what's the point of advertising when you know the viewership is pretty low, right?)

I think this deserves a thread of its own with a poll to prioritize the changes that people think need to happen

O'Sullivan didn't play as a title contender himself, but he didn't need to, so it's hard to say what kind of form he can produce. I have a feeling he'll be in trouble in the QF.

Especially if he meet Allen, the one who kick him out of WSC 2009 in R2. But per the QF thread discussion, I already have both of them in my list. So I'm expecting a good match if ROS vs Allen in QF.

Com'on Allen...!!!
