World Championship (snooker)

Bizarre interview yet again afterwards.
Basicalkly said he was'nt that bothered about winning, and he's playing the World Championships to fill in a bit of time.
 
Just watched that 147. fecking unbelievable, never in trouble and he had it in his mind to go for it right from the first red.

Class.

When did he say that?

Anyway, I don't see it as bizarre, it's his way of not putting pressure on himself. His little jokes in the match with Williams did seem like a way of not getting stressed, and as long as it produces those results, it's fine with me!

Indeed, what a thriller!

This Wenbo lad.. a new star is born for sure, looks the real deal. Right now, he seems to have what Ding dosent have; a terrific temperament. It's unlucky his next match is against Ronnie, with the form Ronne is in, can't see him advancing..should be a good match regardless.
 
Another 147.

His maximum came in the frame immediately after Ebdon had missed his own chance for a 147, missing the 15th black.

O'Sullivan will now have to share the £147,000 bonus for a maximum and the £10,000 for the highest break of the tournament, which could affect his plans to buy a Bentley later this year.

And in response to O'Sullivan's comment, Carter joked: "I'm going to buy a Ford Focus convertible, I've been dying to get one!"

Made it 6 out of 6 and finished with 7 out of 8 in the end.
Liang's arse was twitching against Joe Swail in the last round, so a bit of a run from The Rocket was bound to have him in trouble.

Looking forward to a Ronnie - Hendry semi-final.
Preferably Maguire in the final, but as long as it's not Ebdon.

CMON HENDRY!!!
 
Hendry v O'Sullivan should be a great match, they're both in good form, and there's always a bit of needle between the two. C'mon Ronnie.
 
What the hell is O'Sullivan doing?

Edit: :lol: Hendry misses an easy one too just after O'Sullivans miss. Strange 4th frame.
 
4-4 at the end of the first session. Steve Davis made an interesting point though, Ronnie is unlikely to play this badly again for the rest of the tournament, and he is still at 4-4. Hendry could be in trouble if Ronnie pulls out one big session.
 
His head must be in the right place. The guy is a manic deppresant/psycho but imagine if he could have kept his head like this overthe season he'd be close to hendry's crucible record. I thought his head was gunna go when he was 4-1 down cannot belive hes won 10 on the trot especially against hendry, its a one-off but he looks as though hes got his head on in this tourny.
 
Wtf? Why are we not discussing the most important topic, that hot female ref? I love it when she bends over to put the ball back on the table... mmmm
 
Shes hot man, sottish aswell which means shes up for it, I bet ronnies boned her. I heard she give's bj's in the mid-session intervals too.

I agree, she should ref every match.

:nono: Show a little respect, and enlightenment.

Wot? like the respect he showed at the china open. Are you serious.

Absolutely. His behaviour at the China Open was poor, but unless you were somehow personally slighted by it, (and even then, not really), you shouldn't be going around saying that people with mental illnesses are "psycho". Clearly he is a troubled bloke, no-one can say otherwise. All it displays is your own ignorance, if you really think making fun of mental illness is an apt topic for a joke. Having said all that, go ahead if that's your bag, you're probably beyond reason in that case.

Ok Maybe psycho is taking it a bit far.

However your saying peope who have mental illnesses should be cared for or people who have mental illnesses should not be made fun of. Bloody rapists and paedophiles must have mental trouble but brophs you would probably wra people like that up in cotton wool and say "leave them alone they have mental trouble".

That's a fair point, but surely the difference is that Ronnie's behaviour is generally self-destructive. Also I wouldn't compare his behaviour to the sorts of persons you have mentioned. Calling a convicted paedophile a paedophile is a fair comment. I don't mean that he shouldn't be held accountable for his mistakes, but the word psycho should be reserved for those that genuinely deserve it. I don't believe that he should be wrapped in cotton wool, but equally he shouldn't be fair game for the people of the internet, just because he has talent and a suspect temperament. That's all I'm saying.
 
His comments at the china open were hilarious imo

I'd be bored shitless sitting in a press conference like that, taking forever to ask him a question, basically asked him the same question 3 or 4 times worded differently.

Hadn't he just lost too?
 
I'm just expressing a point, maybe my point of psycho was taken out of context, hes a great character for snoker to have.

He seems to be getting very lucky against hendry, I don't know why but he the only player that hardly ever gets any flukes or a great run of the ball and I hav no idea why that is.

Hope he wins with a session to spar.

One of the reasons I think hes a character and atiny bit loony is when he was talking about the crucible not so long ago in the world championships and then mid conversation he said "hang on forget about snooker what about all these monkey's and animals that are dying from global warming and then started talking about kenya" I couldn.t contain my laughter.
 
Ronnie O'Sullivan v Ali Carter in the final today. Ronnie's had yesterday off, and Carter had a tough match until pretty late last night. Unless Carter stays with him until the final session, this could be a trouncing.
 
Nearly on for another 147 there.
7-2 at the moment, Ronnie cruising really.
 
When are the sessions played?

I just started following snooker with this world championship, but I never know when they are playing.

When is the next session of the final?
 
Starts at 230 today, mate. Eight frames. If Ronnie hasn't won it by then, it goes to the evening, and final session at 8, where they play to a finish.
 
Very scrappy match so far.

Carter has been awful. Luckily for him Ronnie has not been in the mood.

PS: I only watch snooker if Ronnie's playing.
 
Carter had a long match the day before whilst Ronnie had a day off after wiping the floor with Hendry, playing some of the best snooker I've seen.

Add that to Carters first time and all the nerves of a final it was to be expected. We will see some much better play today though, with Ronnie winning comfortably I reckon.
 
lol at the streaker. Great way to start the evening session.
