World Open 2016 - Discussion

I know that it's a cliché and I know that Perry is know for his accurate positional play but he really was landing the cue ball on a sixpence there.
6-2 and he won 6 frames in one visit: breaks of 70,63,132,102,120 and 91. Robertson won the other two with breaks of 78 and 76.

Yet another one-sided match, but it was still good viewing. A superb performance from Perry, I can't remember him ever making three centuries in a row before. He has every chance in the final if he plays like this. :smile:

great show by Joe Perry
started well and then a drop in focus made it 2-2 at the MSI
then a cracking run of four frames, with centuries and TCs
Neil didn't play badly just was kept off the table and was cold when he did have a chance.

Drug test for Joe Perry.......Drug test for Joe Perry.

3 centuries on the bounce against Neil Robbertson, very solid!

This has been a weird tournament. A lot of players have had impressive one-sided victories, only to lose heavily in the following round. We have had very few close matches so far...

Hopefully the second semi-final is a little better. :smile:

Yep sitting here waiting for a good match

FACT

Murphy loses 10-8 to qualifier McGill in the first round of the World Championship 2016. Fact.

Ding goes through three rounds of qualifying and makes the final. Fact.

But Murphy hates on Ding as not being prepared! I think the donuts have gone to his head.

@JCR - I'm a troll? What were the insults you threw at Ramon to get banned please?

The MSI didn't change the play
Ali deserved the win but was never challenged or put under any pressure by a clearly out-of-sorts Uh-nooh.
Hope now moves onto the friends Neil and Joe.

Disappointed with Uh-nooh's performance so far, as I am sure he is
Many chances and letting unforced errors hand frames to Ali.
Hope to see good frames after MSI.

I bet the bookies loved these predictions

At least I got one winner right. :wink:

Once again not really the kind of day I expected, a pretty disappointing day of snooker to be honest. I only just finished watching the Robertson match though, didn't have time to catch up with Murphy-Perry tonight. For all I know, that could have been a good match. :smile:

No predictions tonight, because I am already half asleep and I only have four hours before snooker starts again. :smile:

.....Ding got to the final of the Worlds from qualifying; what did PDB do again? ....

You haven't got a clue have you, so sad little troll

[Big Splash!]

By PDB do you mean Shaun Murphy?
2005 World Professional Snooker Championships
Shaun Murphy had to qualify (at least 2 rounds I believe) and got to the final and won.

2005? Seems so long ago!

Murphy has an opinion on everything. Mr goody two shoes. He needs to get back to church and pray for insight. And if he's a Christian how come he's a greedy sticky fingered type who constantly criticises everyone else? What happened to forgiveness and understanding. The guy is a fake and Ronnie has rightly called him out.

@Jeff, cuz a ref has never had to tell the audience off into being quiet at the Masters or Worlds has he?

The Chinese are far more polite. Can you imagine Ding launching into criticism of a player who didn't do well? No, me neither. Ding is a gent and that's why Ronnie has rightly defended him against the Pillsbury Dough boy. Ronnie don't like bullies. PDB needs to concentrate on eating less donuts. He also needs to concentrate on his snooker. Ding got to the final of the Worlds from qualifying; what did PDB do again?

Rockin' Ronnie!

Well, Pro Snooker hasn't been that recent in China. As such, spectators there still have some way to go before being as cultured, or rather, knowing how to behave in a snooker tournament where absolute silence is gold.
