If I hear JV say "just about" one more time I don't know what I'll do.

He was without doubt the worst of the former players
The BBC used!

Steve Davis said "missable" quite alot too.

But then again, i am bored.

JV is a legend.

Ken 'tree' Doherty on the other hand...

Now that Ronnie appears to finally have sorted his mental issues out he's playing as well as he's ever done. Not many snooker players can maintain this kind of standard in their mid-late 30s. Hendry, White, Davis, Williams etc all declined pretty rapidly as they aged yet Ronnie (and possibly John 'I'm not corrupt, honest' Higgins) looks to have bucked that trend.

Wonder if Ronnie can match or better Hendry's World Championship record?

As for this final - Selby is the 'comeback king' however this gap will be too big for him here.

I'm sure if Ronnie plays like he did this week, then no records are safe.
All down to his mental position ---and that's variable , or used to be .

Is it just me who thinks the commentators should stop making jokes when the crowd can hear in the arena?

As a player, I'd be a little peeved with outbursts of laughter every so often, especially as they have no idea it's coming.

I think they know where it's coming from, most seem to like it , it gives a bit of atmosphere.

Haven't seen any look peeved.

Well done Ronnie.

John Higgins had to ask if he was on for a 147, there had been fouls before his break started. It's on the Beeb website, quite amusing

It's great to see Ali Carter looking well and back playing.

Have noticed the same two females are there everyday in the front row.

Cant be cheap --must be very keen to do that.

Only noticed as they are very distinctive with brightly coloured hair.

Me too, every game so far, front row seats.

A thrashing ---will Ronnie reconsider his future and retire anytime soon.

Thoughts?
