Keep going Ron, looks like he could meet Maguire in the quarters. The biggest wrongun in the game, if he's taken a bung I'm happy but if he's got a bet on 13-12 either way I'm not. Never trust Maguire since those match fixing allegations, he can be a brilliant player but I'm hoping Ron melts his head anyway. Its all boiling up nicely and hopefully they'll be a few shocks before the quarters start.
Thought Ron was gonna make a 147 last night, but got the wrong kiss on 4th last red and missed the attempted double. The crowd were getting seriously excited and the roof would've cone off if he'd made it.
Yes saw that & was all set up for him & just got a bit unlucky, Dennis Taylor the commentator was getting excited as well as commentated on his famous 5min 147
What an epic match between Bingtao and Selby. 22nd frame 85 mins long, the longest in Crucible history. Bingtao won it on the black then cleared the table in the next to win 13-10. Fantastic performance
That's was an epic Crucible classic. 147 from Robbo but Lisowski sneaking it 13-12. Can't see his safety play being good enough to get past Higgins next though although I hope he does. Trump just sees off McGill 13-11 and Bingham beats Wilson . Ronnie v Maguire starts tomorrow morning, come on Ron let's do it !
Big shock with Robo going out, Jack played well & was always in the game, few nerves in that last frame, Ronnie the stage is set!
Ronnie 6-2 up on Maguire but not happy with his tip ffs. Williams 6-2 up on Bingtao. Trump 4-2 up on Bingham and Higgins 4-3 up on Lisowski, with both players playing some awful stuff missing simple balls and looking like 2 amateurs !
11-5 at end of the session. Not happy with his tip and it's badly affecting his confidence. He has to sort it out cos he can't win tournament playing like that. Typical that it could derail him just to **** me cos I've lumped on him.
7-7 Bingtao v Williams, brilliant come back from Bingtao. He's certainly got some guts and the match is back in the balance !
He often has issues with his tip. There's always something. One of the most gifted players ever, but quite the dickhead imo.
He's the biggest genius in any sport I've ever seen but has a fragile mind. He ofter talks alot of bollocks but I believe its to deflect pressure from himself. He's said he's gonna retire over 100 times before lol and that records don't matter to him but to tie or better Hendry's world titles is what I believe is the real reason He's still playing at the top. And the fact he just loves playing still.
Trump has completely lost it this morning, his technique has completely gone. Lost all 5 frames so far and trails Bingham 8-5 !
Bingham completely let Trump off the hook. 8-5 up and in complete control with Trump head completely gone and he misses the simplist black ever. Totally changed the session and the momentum and allowed Trump to get back to 8-8.
Incredible last 2 frames from Williams to beat Bingtao 13-11. Lisowski somehow back to only 1 behind Higgins at 8-7. Incredible to think that the 3 boys from the class of 92 could all be in Semi's all these years later ! Still 3 of the greatest players ever
Ronnie v Higgins mouthwatering match, Jack played well but blew it in the deciding frame, Higgins was not at his best but scrapped through, Trump v Williams another mouthwatering match, obviously I want Ronnie to get to final & win but that’s a tough cookie playing Higgins
