2016 World Championship discussion

[shmeeko69]

Walden is a quality act, unfortunately most of his defining performances have been abroad - he beat Ronnie O'Sullivan in the Shanghai Masters final one year.

Oh, by the way...here's my Day 2 Review of the Championship!

Your site and review is excellent. Great read

A comfortable lead for Mark Williams. He looks in control.

Yes and in winning the last frame of the evening makes a huge difference 7 - 2 as opposed to 6 - 3. I thought Dott would have given him real problems?

Carter was his St Peter(or is it Paul) - his first disciple! Long before the cancer, when he was a world-championship finalist for the second time, he was raving about organic carrot juice, and Ebdon was helping him in the dressing room.

You may recall the hilarious attempt at a death stare when he came out to face Ronnie, to which O'Sullivan responded by metaphorically ragdolling him.

Ah right, I didnt know that he was the first disciple
Well good luck to whoever tries it, I'm sure it has some merits.

Ronnie has always give him a good ragdolling haha

Talking of vegan diets I'm sure I heard a commentator saying Carter has now adopted this ?

Has anyone ever seen him play decent snooker?

Yes. :wink:

His performance to win the International Championship last season was some of the best snooker anyone has played in recent times. And in case you are unaware, Walden was a finalist in the last two tournaments before the WC this season.

Im not trying to be negative but Ricky Walden is ranked 9 in the world? Has anyone ever seen him play decent snooker? The guy is garbage.

[mikeyd100]

yes same here
but earlier (was it Thorne?) got him onto the vegan diet was a bit awkward :wink:

[mikeyd100]

If he plays like he did yesterday all tournament then he'll take some stopping!

Yeah he was on fire, big ask to keep that up though against the better opponents.

[gavpowell]

Possible O'Sullivan in the quarters and a rematch v Wilson from the Shanghai Masters last 48 in the semi's,who knows.

Oh no! I wanted McGill to win if Ronnie went out, but I didn't want to back McGill over Ronnie!

Stupid draw...

[Hal]

It was couple of great sessions today, I am especially happy with MJW and the way he played, maybe he has found some form finally? Btw that fluked escape on yellow was really big one ....

[spike]

Williams would have to have a dreadful session going into tommorrow to give Dott even a sniff of a chance.

[Rane]

A comfortable lead for Mark Williams. He looks in control.

[Le Ball Sack]

I think if Williams hairline recedes any further he is going to have a mohawk.

good start for Sam Baird, such a good player to watch
