Wow.

I wouldn't begrudge Brecel the championship if he plays like that in the semi and the final.

Brecel played brilliantly but Ronnie should be ashamed of that performance. Now we”ll get the usual “I don’t care, I just play for fun” crap from him.

I thought his interview afterwards was very magnanimous.

yes it was actually. Looks like the Robot or the Cheat will win now. Couldn’t think of two worse winners

Brecel dominated that and deserves to go on and win the tourney. Nice one! Ronnie just didn't turn up, but I think he'd have still struggled

O'Sullivan pretty disappointing. I wanted Brecel to make it a match, which he did, brilliantly, but winning 7 frames on the bounce wasn't what I had in mind for entertainment.

going on 48 years old and probably not putting in the hours either, Im never shocked to see him throw in a bad session now although he can still play like a No 1 rank player for long periods of course.

as it gets more and more frequent he will retire

Is that pocket out of spec?

Cant see Higgins pulling this back

Pigeon_Killer · 26 Apr 2023 at 21:39

Glad Ronnie lost, hope Higgins does too.

Would love one of the youngsters to win this year.

Would be fun if Si won, although he's behind to McGill at the moment.

This aged well

Late night drama on the bbc... 11-11 between Si and McGill. :eek:

About time we had a match after 11pm. Can't beat a bit of late-night snooker.

Yea I'm watching it as well, I watched the previous two sessions of these guys also, been gritty the whole way through.

See how the pressure gets to them and how they change as soon as they have got enough points and just clearing the table at the end.

Great to watch though I love matches like this.

BUDFORCE · 26 Apr 2023 at 23:09

1 frame shoot out now.

Psycho Ned · 26 Apr 2023 at 23:10

Bit of classic last night Crucible drama coming up :cool:

BUDFORCE · 26 Apr 2023 at 23:50

That was one of the better matches I've seen for a good while, right it's way past my bedtime for a school night.

ic1male · 26 Apr 2023 at 23:53

Bit of a shame it is not Luca v Jiahui final. If Mark Shelby wins I’ll be miffed.

arc@css · 27 Apr 2023 at 02:27

Now Ronnie's out, I don't mind who wins, but preferably not Selby.

It would be nice to see Mark Allen win.
