Ronnie O Sullivan - Ali Carter - final

[zombieman]

Carter can't possibly beat O'Sullivan at his own game like Higgins or Trump can, so I understand why he went with the tactics what made Selby successful at battling Ronnie. It's obvious for me who to support though, I can't stand defensive snooker.

It's a fairly good quality session compared to the semi-finals' first session. I'm content with this one.

Good job Ali! Keep the pressure on...make sure you get at least one of the last 2 frames as well.

well said daffie, just what he needs to do, Erwan_BZH, there's more to snooker than breaks, Ali will do whatever he has to do to give himself a chance to win the match, and rightfully so!!

I really hope at some point carter realizes this kind of negative snooker will kill the game,after all snooker is a spectator sport in need of the publics support and finance.

This is not an exhibition game for fans. They are playing for the world title.

Had it not been for Ray Reardon's mentoring, O'Sullivan would be nowhere near in the eve of a possible fourth world championship.

Couldn't agree more! It's called tactics.

Couldn't disagree more! Ali is playing fantastic matchplay snooker and fair play to him.

But without the fans the game would die,just like billiards.

Reardon taught O'Sullivan a skill. Edbon's taught Carter how to be irritating.

true, its just as well the fans dont moan all the time when games go scrappy, they realise there's more to snooker than century breaks, how old are you? Are you raised on centuries and one visit snooker??

like he gives a damn, carter has a lot of skill in the safety department, you're not realising the difference between having a skill and using and not giving a damn what anyone else thinks, he's there to do a JOB after all, not play a game for the enjoyment of others, this is PRO sport for goodness sake, you need to realise that!!

Carter isn't irritating. That's all I can say about it.
