Snooker: The Masters

[zetec]

The above event has had some fantastic matches in its opening couple of days.

Does anybody know why the players are now wearing proper ties instead of bow ties?

Judd Trump today and Mark Selby yesterday looked really scruffy with their ties loose and pulled aside.

Maguire has a doctor's attest releaving him of the need to wear a (bow)tie. Lucky and cheeky bd!

Don't know why the tie is in the rules, though. They just wear it entering the arena, and then re-arrange it so it doesn't bother the cue-action!

[Baron Greenback]

Ronnie is on form, bit of a thrashing!

[Gun]

Ronnie's unplayable when he's playing like this.

Rules are ordinary Tie for the afternoon sessions and Bowtie for the evening ones.

Great come back from Ricky Walden last night.

Yes, but a hell of a mix of addictive and boring when they play like they did in the last couple of frames. And can't he shut his mouth occasionally, his tongue is like a lizard getting out of control!!

Thanks for that, in all my years of watching Snooker I have never noticed, is it a new dress code?

From what the commentators were saying , years ago it used to be the norm, then it changed to Bowties all the time and now has reverted to what it used to be.

If that makes sense !!

Holy st! Ronnie is smoking today, 4-0 up against Waldron in less than an hour!!!

[Gun]

Blimey!

[Eighteeteewhy]

Epic!

[vincegail]

Ronnie was in form tuesday evening. Watched it front row and enjoyed it very much.

Just gt through the chunnel and off the Eurostar and arrived home in Belgium to watch him shake hands. Apparently he was in even better form today! Wish I had book a train earlier!

Will catch the re-run tonight!

[Gandahar]

Amazing performance from Ronnie there.

[richwig83]

Well.... That was the most expensive game of snooker I've ever paid for. Seeing him play live was incredible.

[simoid]

Just got the end of Ronnie's first session from today on the highlights. Walden had ONE break of 35 in the first frame, and that was the only balls he potted! Nonsense

[alock]

50 mins of highlights and the BBC only show 1 frame from Ronnies's match. The rest is repeats of the other match they've been repeating on the red button for hours.

I cannot be the only one who missed Ronnie's match while at work and would like to watch more of it.

'Snooker extra' is now on, I'm gonna watch it, and record it for future enjoyment. (hopefully they show a full re-run of the Ronnie match)

Edit: yep! Started from the very beginning
