Snooker World Championship

[Amirhussain]

2-0 to The Rocket Ronnie. Selby not on point yet.

[Amirhussain]

Wicked start by Ronnie, just cruising at the moment.

[Chlamydia]

I wish they'd introduced a sniper with a silenced rifle to shoot those gobstes that shout, "Go on, Ronnie/Mark (whatever)". Do they honestly think the player's going to think, " Well I wasn't going to make the effort but I will now"?

[zetec]

Agree with the above, it seems to be happening more and more often these days.

Jimmy White then Ronnie O'sullivan, who is the next guy to get drunk cockneys shouting I wonder.

[BlackLabel]

Selby has done well to stay in this. Ronnie had a couple of easy chances to make it 4-0 but ran out of position. Selby then brought it back to 3-1 and after that it was a fairly even contest. In fact Selby will be disappointed that it's not 4-4.

Yeah, been a bit sloppy at times.

Looking forward to this session. And Virgo not commentating too. Bonus.

[Gandahar]

Ronnie doing quite well considering he's only the 33rd best player in the world.

Must have put in an extra 4.76 seconds of practice on the sly without the authorities noticing.

Very cunning.

[Daz68]

Selby just hasn't settled.

[Amirhussain]

Unlucky Ronnie!

[Amirhussain]

Ronnie with a 131 break to lead 9-5, there's being good at snooker, and then there's being RONNIE O' SULLIVAN good, his just too too good, Robertson's probably glad he isn't in the final, would have been torn apart by The Rocket.

[jules_s]

Looks like he is playing for fun now

[Mojooo]

RO has not been playing brilliant but MS has been awful.

If RO turns it on then he may run away with it but MS could certainly win it is RO plays the same and MS finds some form.

I think MS will need to make sure the first few frames are scrappy to prevent RO getting into full flow and steaming ahead.

To be 10-7 is extremeley lucky for MS considering how bad he was playing - especially at the start.

[GarageQueen]

Ronnie makes everyone else look like amateurs

[Gun]

Good start by Selby today.

[BlackLabel]

Wow - have just seen the score for the first time today. I hope Ronnie doesn't have another meltdown like he did against Ebdon all those years back because as long as he keeps competing he's still favourite imo. Selby won't keep this up.

[Gandahar]

They are both playing like me on this frame, amazing. Nobody can pot.

In off the red !

[vincegail]

I've played better than this

But I've also played like this. A lot

[BlackLabel]

Selby is having some luck here with the run of the balls!! He keeps on fluking a snooker!!!!!
