yes campbell needed 3 snookers in that frame, got one with Ronnie smashing the cushion and missing a very simple red, then was unlucky to knock that black in, but in the end he won it... but Campbell had everything to win that frame, hadnt he missed that pink 4 nil and I think there would be no german masters comeback..
As it is, 3-1, well you can never tell with Ronnie. but better 3-1 than 4 nil
Campbell needed 4 snookers.
If Ronnie would turn it on, Campbell wouldn't have a chance but O'Sullivan looks tired and disinterested.
Yes, he needed 4 snookers, and Campbell isnt playing well, a bit more interes on the part of Ronnie and the result could have been 3-1 to him easily.. as it is, if Ronnie continues like that, cant see him winning...
What's actually happening is Ronnie is trying to lose this match and the weirdness of his play is affecting Campbell so it's not as simple "He should be leading 3-1 because his opponent isn't playing very well". There's some strange stuff going on out there! It's box office though, you can't take your eyes off it. Ronnie will get a pasting for his performance and probably get a fine but it's great to watch.

Just remember the one where he missed the final black of the spot to force a decider or the one against Marco Fu ...

He should face a reprimand after this farce, although himself and his management will no doubt use the glandular fever excuse.

I know I shouldn't say this, but this Ronnie match is really entertaining.

I still don't think Ronnie will win this match but he isn't out of it yet and that is amazing considering how he's playing.

Wow! I've been watching the Shaun Murphy match. That Lu Ning match is almost as much of a natural talent as Ronnie, and I don't say that lightly. Awesome, awesome performance for Ning.
The Ronnie match sounds bizarre. I'm putting it on now.

If Marcus loses this match he will kick himself all the way home. O`sullivan clearly is not that interested looking.

Just hope there isn't a pretty girl with a phallic looking mike waiting for Ron after this game...
Pray tell me who said Ebbo wasn't a tough oppo anymore... Of course if Peter relaxed a little more and didn't play each shot as if his children's lives depended on it he would do better, but will never give an inch for sure.

Did anybody watch the Murphy match? Is that a silly question?
I can't settle to watch whatever controversy Ronnie has decided is creating at the moment. I'm on such a high from the performance from Lu.

Glandular fever or not it's still childs play from Ronnie. Campbell will hate losing this match if he does.

3-3
unbelievable
I think Ronnie's competitive instinct kicked in after it went 3-2. What was much more disciplined.

Yeah once he got to 3-2 he's probably thinking "May as well win this now and play silly buggers in the next round"
