Welsh Open 2014 - Discussion

Ronnie said recently that he's turned a corner when it comes to his mental side. It certainly shows.

Brilliant match so far. Barry playing great, but there's not much you can do when Ronnie plays like that. Pure class.

[brusque]

I knwo its hard to eb critical of Barry but if he had not messed up in that frame 2 when things were going for him, he might have avoided the spanking he had had to put up with ... I mean Barry is in great form so he should not have lost position from where he was .... he did not put pressure on Ronnie and now he can sit back, relax and enjoy Ronnie do his thing

[brusque]

Watching Ding today I was like ... wow .. what a talent ... but seeing Ronnie right now is a different matter altogether ... basically I am speechless .... utter ecstasy to watch him play when he is in that kinda form ... better than doing a virgin I'd say .... Barry made me lose a lot of money though when he messed in frame#2 ... I learned my lesson ... never bet on Ronnie's match ... if he wins the odds are too low and if you bet against him you never know when he will make a clearance like that

That's what I meant when I said Hawkins was unlucky... He is playing quite well, like in every match against O'Sullivan in the past, but O'Sullivan has responded again and got a nice advantage at the interval.

It's going to be tough now, but Hawkins is a master of making matches close, so I hope he stick in there and gives us a late night. :smile:

Ronnie is a great front runner. I can't see Barry winning this now.

[cyberheater]

Simply the best snooker player to have ever picked up a cue bar none. He literally takes it to another level.

[Ronnie's tip]

That is just disgustingly good.

Only downside is the funeral-like commentary!

[zombieman]

Utterly ridiculous break.

[streamer45]

simply outrageous!

[cyberheater]

Lol lol lol. Shots fired.

[leelee]

flippin heck Ronnie's playing well huh !!

[scottley]

Its enough to make me never want to bother picking a cue up again, it makes me sick lol.

[cyberheater]

It's going to be 2 - 0 to Barry in no time.

I take it back.

What an amazing clearance that was. Absolutely stunning. The way he set it up by freeing the reds off the cushions whilst playing safeties and then when he had the opportunity he cleared the lot with almost perfect positioning. He didn't even look like he was trying. WOW.

[scottley]

What a cracking match so far, suberb clearance that was!
