meanmistermustard Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Ding out 13-7. Virgo and Hendry wailing. The tournament gets a lot more watchable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Booo. O'Sullivan murdering Bingham. O'Sullivan vs Trump/Murphy in the semis will basically decide who wins the tournament. Can see the Final being massively one-sided. I'll go for O'Sullivan 18 Hawkins 5. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meanmistermustard Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Trump should beat Murphy so depends what Trump turns up v Ronnie. 1 bad session like he had against Murphy and Ronnie you would think would be too far ahead to catch up with. Would be amazed if Hawkins or Walden won it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 A slack few frames from o'sullivan means he will need to come back this evening 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meanmistermustard Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) I dont mind Ronnie but can he please shut up about possibly retiring. It was tedious hearing it every damn year before he took time out and now its back again. Either get on with it and play or piss off for forever but quit this fucking about. Make a decision and stick with it. Edited May 1, 2013 by meanmistermustard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 He's not saying anything different than before, he clearly struggles with his personnel issues but what would he do without snooker? If he was needing the cash desperately then I doubt in a years time he will be in a much better position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 What the f**k? He's been positive, saying all the right things for the last few weeks and then comes out with that? Bit out of the blue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 In an attempt to say this the nicest way possible... Ronnie O'Sullivan is not the most rational thinking man in the world. So things like this coming out of the blue isn't much of a surprise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeeperDee Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 He's a wonderful snooker player but as has been mentioned he clearly doesn't think straight sometimes. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Pie & Bovril mobile app 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fotbawmad Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Walden and Hawkins must collectively be the worst 2 players ever to reach a Crucible semi. Both must know they'll be lucky not to lose the final with a session to spare. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meanmistermustard Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Great to watch tho as shots are missed by half a yard, position lost after 3 pots, white miles away from the top cushion when playing safe to the baulk. But its the tables fault. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meanmistermustard Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 The Walden Hawkins match has to be up there with the Dott Ebdon final as one of the worst matches at the Crucible. Making it look like your average league player would give them a run for their money. Shocking quality and if they are nervous at being in the semi final how on earth will they cope against Trump or O'Sullivan in the final? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Could easily be the biggest winning margin in a final the way this is going. The third frame last night was utterly ridiculous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I think these pair need exciting nicknames to inspire them, then they'll play better. I'll go with "Psycho" Ricky Walden and Barry "Mr Lover Lover" Hawkins. Come on Psycho! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Phoenix Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Ricckkkaaaaaaaaaayyyyy "Fowler" Walden 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dindeleux Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Poomjaeng lost a frame on the three misses rule. Never seen that before. I didn't even know that was a rule? I thought if it was a snooker you could effectively miss until the other player wishes to play again? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drs Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 The 14th frame saw Walden play a simple safety shot and missed the red twice which lead to the a warning from the ref if he missed it a third time he'd forfeit the frame. This led to a female heckler shout out " YOU WANT ME TO COME DOWN AND TAKE THE SHOT ? " which sums up the standard perfectly. I was absolutely stunned at how poor the standard was it was like a bad game down my local Riley's. Bloody hell no wonder the sport is in the toilet. Anyone of the top 20 players from 30 years ago would have destroyed these jokers. Barry Hearn, this is your sport.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Poomjaeng lost a frame on the three misses rule. Never seen that before. I didn't even know that was a rule? I thought if it was a snooker you could effectively miss until the other player wishes to play again? Only if you can't hit a ball full-ball. If you're not snookered and miss three times in a row you lose the frame. Anyway, big last frame then. Think Mr Lover Lover would've fancied his chances of going in at eight-all the way Psycho was playing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SodjesSixteenIncher Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 It's a shame that the other two are so shite because O'Sullivan an Trump seem like two of the biggest bellends in professional sport. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
