World Championship (Sat 5th of May) S Final Disscusion !

12-9. Just three more Matthew...

VIRGO SHUT THE buck UP ! Do you have to speak every shot

13-11 or 12-12 and its game on. 14-10 would be too much and 15-9 is game over.

If it goes 13-11 or 12-12 you just know O'Sullivan will come out this evening and reel off a few frames quickly.

Maybe we will have the Stevens fightback as in their Irish masters final in 2005. He was something like 6-0 behind right?

6-1 down before levelling at 6-6

Not twitching time yet for Ronnie, he's got the luxury of not going behind into this evenings session. He's not getting frustrated, although he will do if Stevens keeps leaving him with nothing.

Still Ronnies match, but needs to get at least 1-2 of these frames to keep the pressure on,

He's not... he has shown when his back is against the wall.. he ups his game again and reels off frames quickly... you all thought the same when he leveled at 5 all and then Ronnie pulled away

Ronnie sometimes relaxes too much when he has big advantages... he needs his opponents to wake him up

Lovely pot, will give him confidence.

Ronnie is in. Normal service resumed?

Stevens is not gonna win but at least he is demonstrating some fighting skills.

Bit of table time that was needed, if he can clinch it here.

Looks like 13-9 coming up

It will only help Ronnie sharpen up for the final.

Ronnie gets frame ball. 13-9 it is.

The opening red was first class, great to see his long potting back.

If Matthew can win this last 2 frames it will put Ronnie under a bit of pressure..

Hope he doesnt and Ronnie goes 15-9

The momentum may now swing back if Matthew isn't careful.

Now Stevens is in

That was something that was missing this last few years... still misses some of course. but it's much better

contradiction or what

one minute you say its game on if it goes 12 all or 11-13 but then you say if it does go like that, Ronnie will storm ahead again

I must say Matthew is playing a lot better than people were making out, I didn't see any previous matches but against anyone else he probably would be ahead or level in this match.

Luck of the welsh

He wasn't that good yesterday afternoon and tbh Ronnie hasn't top of his game this morning.

Interesting 'phase' of play. Hopefully Stevens won't be 'fazed'

Don't think Witz is here

Can they finish this quickly? I've got to go to Sainsburys to get some beer and coke.

14-9

Do you always do that?

Disagree, Ronnie has been kept of the table this morning and Matthews break-building has been pretty good.
