2018 World Championship

[JimMalone]

Would be pretty funny as people seem to write off a lot of players in this like beating them is a formality.

I definitely don't think that winning any match at the World Championship is a formality, but I admit that it would be a huge surprise for me to see both of the big favorites go out in the first round.

Stevens not playing for 1 snooker. Strange.

[blahblah01]

I'm not sure that was true this year (the inevitablity of Selby vs ROS) with plenty of us saying that the top and bottom Quarters are the hardest...

Stevens started well, and is now melting down.....

Ronnie has now lost 10 of his last 11 frames of snooker, the other one was a maximum.

He still has plenty of time, but needs to start winning frames soon, very soon.

After all the "Selby-O'Sullivan final" chat I'd absolutely love it if they both went out in round one

Both gave some chances away this frame, but ultimately Maguire gets to 4-0. And at this early stage it is funnily O'Sullivan who shows some signs of frustration and not Maguire as I expected.

oh well, so much to ronnie being the favourite

Selby mark 2, except Maguire is playing massively better than what Perry did.

[JimMalone]

Nice start by Maguire.

[blahblah01]

And misses a Pink

The ROS Steam Train has built up it's head of steam and is pulling out of the station.......

1-3 imminently....

[blahblah01]

Maquire can bomb now: I've doubled my £5, lol.

[blahblah01]

Are the pockets (relatively) big, or are my eyes going even more?

that was before that Maguire "pot"

[jimev]

Maguire cueing very well.

Can't see a Perry collapse so guess its goodbye Selby try again next year.
