Welsh Open 2014 - Discussion

Very impressive. Barry declaring a foul to the ref. Top notch Barry, top notch.

[cyberheater]

Nah... simmering maybe, but always ready to boil again.

He's missing balls that he normally wouldn't miss.

I heard a interview where he said he'd played about 6 hours of snooker the month before the Welsh Open. Maybe the lack of competitive table time is showing. I'm sure he'll still win this though.

I hope Ronnie hasn't gone off the boil. He looks distracted.

Ha! Just this second decided to come on here and say the exact same thing. I find it very amusing. He kind of throws his left shoulder in and then almost looks over it before getting down into the conventional position. Very odd.

Yes. It is quite odd and strangely mesmerising.

Has anyone else noticed the odd twisting motion Barry does to get into the cueing position.

Looks like Barry is playing with a machine spliced cue.

[scottley]

Surely he cant in the first frame can he? The red near the pink looks awkward-ish.


Edit, never mind, some unbelievable positional shots from Ronnie none the less.

[cyberheater]

So I wonder which version of Ronnie we will see tonight. I hope it's the one we saw in the Masters.

[cebs]

Nice one Barry.

Few, couple of close calls today. Dott on the final black and now this match.

Only 8-1 odds for all the favourites but might come good.

Think I'll put a little one on Ronnie, Walden, Bingham and King for this next session now.

[cebs]

Need Hawkins to win to keep my accumulator alive.

7 wins so far, him and King to make it 9/9.

I am watching murphy's match right now, it is rather funny when Willie Thorn saying something like: Murphy's made some effort for his fitness, on his diet, but he is more hungry now for his snooker success ...

I think we're buggered mate lol

Rory's safety definitely isn't good enough either.

And after that amazing red split I think it's game over for Rory. That split was like a bomb going off.

EDIT: What an amazing plant that was from Robertson.

[cyberheater]

Oh yes.

I fear Robertson's safety is too good for Rory.
Oh well. It's 3 - 0. Feck.
