Anyone watching? Today's matches aren't great, admittedly, but I'm looking forward to the Ronnie match on Monday.

I'll try my best to update the thread as scores come in...but that's only if this thread gets posted in :joker:

Stu 17-04-2010 11:50 AM

Selby and Doherty looks interesting, but yeah, some of those matches look poor on paper.

Kerry 18-04-2010 01:00 AM

I always keep up with it and often go into town to nebby from the outside too :D

Ronnie for me every year

Stu 18-04-2010 11:08 AM

It's all about the rocket. Hope his on form this year.

setanta 18-04-2010 11:19 AM

Right, I have to put a few bets on it. Any tips?

I think Ronnie O'Sullivan is the fave but he's very unpredictable. Depends where his heads at! Legend either way

I'm not keen on John Higgins. Great player but theres something about him I don't like...

John Parrott announced his retirement this year. I saw him a couple of years back doing interviews with Hazel Irvine (she's tiny!!) and Steve Davis :D

I like Jimmy White too. So sad he's never won at the Crucible :(

Jack_ 19-04-2010 01:44 PM

Watching Ronnie now.

Coverage starts on BBC2 at 3PM but you can watch now here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/othe...er/8625493.stm

Kerry 20-04-2010 12:20 AM

Wooo Ronnie!

Kerry 21-04-2010 01:49 AM

What a great Davis/King match!!! Davis through - excellent. Grew up watching him :D

Ronnie is off his stride. Not looking good but through. Hope he picks it up but he's in the wrong frame of mind which for him is literally all or nothing. He'll either throw the towel and strop off or come out fighting more than ever

Kerry 21-04-2010 03:07 PM

Maguire and Lee currently playing a very scrappy game

Jack_ 21-04-2010 03:32 PM

Have to agree about Ronnie, he seems very bored to me. I still hope he continues though and manages to beat Mark Williams.

I'd like to see Neil Robertson go further this year too. By far my second favourite player.

Stu 21-04-2010 03:33 PM

Getting a little tired of Ronnie being an on, off player to be honest, which is a shame because I'm a huge fan. If your hearts not in it anymore, best get out.

Loving Steve Davis ATM. Definate sentimental favourite.

Oh i cant watching SD playing, he takes far to long to take a shot, that why like RO'S so much cause he very quick.

Thats Ronnie though as he suffers chronic depression and literally from match to match swings one way then the other. He's thought about throwing the towel in for years but I think it's one thing he just can't ever let go of. He loves the game at the end of the day.

Iceman 24-04-2010 01:33 AM

I pray Davis wins, i willl be exstatic if he does win....

Stu 24-04-2010 11:29 AM

Davis and Higgins 11-11 now. Come on, Davis!

Maguire is getting kicked around, 3 to 10/11 or something against Dott. Never liked Maguire. He looks like misery redefined.

Stu 24-04-2010 12:25 PM

He did it!

Jack_ 24-04-2010 04:38 PM

Robertson VS Gould - what a match. I love Neil :D

setanta 24-04-2010 05:13 PM

Steve Davis. What a legend.

BigBrotherfan4ever 24-04-2010 05:49 PM

Cant believe Stevie Davies beat John Higgins:bawling:

Kerry 24-04-2010 09:11 PM

I'm over the moon for Davis :hello:

Higgins has beat him like 25 out of the 28 or so times they have met.
I bet he thought it would be a walkover.
I tip my hat to the legend Mr Davis.
:cheer::cheer::cheer:

Mark 27-04-2010 06:27 PM

Robertson is potting really well, and isn't to be overlooked. I was going to place a small outside bet on him, but when I looked at betfair it had him at 5.5-1. Was hoping for way better odds than that, so I guess it's common knowledge he is solid, and on form.

I hope Ronnie beats Selby, would be a nice revenge for their match earlier this year. I'd like to see Ronnie vs Robertson in the final, but I'm not sure the bracket can allow that to play out.

I think I've found a soul mate. Robertson and O'Sullivan are my two favourite players, I really do think a final between them would be class.

As far as I'm aware, it is possible (these are the Quarter Final matches);

Steve Davis (Eng) v Neil Robertson (Aus)

Ali Carter (Eng) v Shaun Murphy (Eng)

Graeme Dott (Sco) v Mark Allen (NI)

Mark Selby (Eng) v Ronnie O'Sullivan (Eng)


Copied and pasted from here

Judging by the how the other previous round matches have been listed, it seems entirely plausible that Ronnie and Neil could end up in the final. Let's say Neil beat Steve Davis, he'd then go onto play either Ali Carter or Shaun Murphy [I think], and the same with Ronnie and either Mark Allen or Graeme Dott. Should they both win those semi-final's, they'd meet in the final. I think I'm right, anyway...

Kerry 27-04-2010 07:52 PM

Ronnie has pissed me off a bit today. He was absolutely on fire the last round and has now come out being quite disrespctful to his opponent by watching the other match and sitting away from him instead of in his seat. He's also acting sloppy. Typical Ronnie blowing hot and cold but he's looking at the brink of doing something daft like chucking the game in if he doesn't pull his shots.

ACT TOGTHER TIME!!!!!!!!!

Jack_ 28-04-2010 08:46 PM

I think Selby is going to win this match. Shame, because I was really holding out for a Robertson VS O'Sullivan final :(

Kerry 28-04-2010 09:19 PM

Ronnies strop about the touching ball earlier. I half expected him to whack all the balls all over the table in a temper :joker:

Kerry 28-04-2010 11:56 PM

Tsk Ronnie.

I'd like a Selby - Carter final now

Kerry 01-05-2010 12:18 AM

What a jinx I am :joker:

Jack_ 01-05-2010 09:36 PM

So pleased for Robertson! I really hope he wins now, but both Dott and Selby are going to be difficult to beat.

setanta 01-05-2010 09:58 PM

Selby you idiot! Missing two blacks off the spot in the last two frames. Ahhhh, feel so sorry for him.

Kerry 01-05-2010 10:03 PM

Just don't want Dott to win. Happy with anyone else

Kerry 02-05-2010 08:52 PM

Robertson making a comeback! Dotts getting stressed tonight. Touch of the Ronnie O'Sullivans on that re-spot!

setanta 02-05-2010 09:04 PM

I'm still disappointed that it wasn't a Robertson Selby final.

I'd prefer Selby in there

Alas...

James 03-05-2010 11:01 PM

Quite a scrappy match at the moment. This could go on a while.

James 03-05-2010 11:40 PM

Robertson is one frame away now.

Jack_ 04-05-2010 09:54 PM

Ah, so, so pleased for Robertson! I knew he'd make it one day - and he thoroughly deserves it.
