General Snooker Thread

[Thrilla]

Ronnie will go three up on this visit, I expect.

[brenchill]

Looks like we're getting a repeat of The Masters. Looks like nobody can get near Ronnie.

Just realised if he wins this, he's only 1 World title off Hendry's record.

[Starvinho]

Awesome snooker. 3-0 up after just over half an hour.

[brenchill]

Selby is playing really badly. I feel for the guy. There is a massive gulf in class between Ronnie and the rest.

[Thrilla]

I never seen a train station that empty.

[Starvinho]

Should really have been 4-0, Ronnie unlucky a couple of times in that last frame.

[Thrilla]

These last couple of frames have been pretty awful.

[Starvinho]

Very scrappy, which is suiting Selby. This could end up being 4-4.

[Starvinho]

Ronnie nicks the session 5-3, should've been 4-4 though but Selby fluffed it. Can see Ronnie being more dominate this evening, maybe a 6-2 or 7-1 session.

[Thrilla]

There has been so many free balls and reracks in this final that I'm beginning to think it is one of my games >_>

[brenchill]

Yeah, this game has been dier. A few years ago in this situation, Ronnie would have gone to pieces. He's grinding it out well.

[Starvinho]

I think Ronnie is enjoying the challenge.

[Thrilla]

Steve Davis refusing to talk about losing from an 8-0 lead in a match that took place about 30 years ago is the most pro wrestling thing in snooker. I love it.

[Starvinho]

Lovely break by O'Sullivan, that's what we want to see! He leads 9-5 with three frames still to play tonight.

[Thrilla]

Yeah, Ronnie really turned it up in that frame.

[brenchill]

I love how Ronnie opens things up even from safety shots.

I get that feeling, too. It's brilliant.

[Starvinho]

I think Ronnie is sick of all this safety bullshit now, he's potting everything at the moment!

[brenchill]

Getting 10 frames on the board is a pretty big milestone. 8 to push...

[Starvinho]

10-7 at the end of play. Credit to Selby, I have no idea how he's managed to get seven frames on the board. Play resumes tomorrow afternoon.

[Chael P. Sonnen]

10-10 Selby is pulling this back!
