World Champ. 2009 -2nd round discussion!

What a match we have here once again!

Great shot on yellow - Great shot on green - now just the colours on their spots. Great clearance!

Now, just handle the pressure and win the next frame! One things for sure - all those Ronnie fans who said Mark would get hammered can eat their words! He's always been a player for the big occasion.

Hope the Captain is watching this. Play the balls, not the player. Then you wouldn't have a 9-0 record.

To be fair I'm surprised the Ronnie-Allen match is this close. Allen made far less mistakes throughout the match and really should win it now.

As for the Murphy-Fu match.. well, very disappointing, I thought Marco would at least put in a solid performance, but it never happened.

Ronnie cant even play a safety shot....Allen is a worthy winner, he was the better player on the day

[Forman]

oh dear, looks like curtians for ronnie

Now Mark only has to hold his nerves... :snooker:

[Mal]

I think Carter is 0-11!
What's his reaction going to be if he gets the next few balls here??! Nice red, Come on Mark - showed his belief before the match and it's proved correct. One more red. Fist pump already.

[abextra]

So Mark moves on - very well played, congratulations!

gratz allen awesome scalp for you to take. good on ronnie to be such a sportsman and give him some encouruging words on the way out as well. i love that kind of ronnie o'sullivan.

All credit to Mark, what a performance. He showed the ones of Ali Carter, Maguire, etc how to beat Ronnie.

[very.tee]
