Great shot from Allen

Robbo is in rubbish up to his ears

some people lands up in rubbish and smells of roses

Mark will be sick if he never gets another shot.

Well it's a cert now, look at the balls. It will take a while to get over that one, Robbo should do the lotto after that one.

Jono wins

Robbo is impressive under pressure

Allen never got the chance he deserved in the end.

Happy Birthday mate

Just seen that there were four tons in the match, 3 Robbo, 1 Allen. Good stuff. Will give it a look on the Sky+.

Best match of the tournament so far and great postmatch by Robbo coming.
Both players deserve praise for this. Great standard, great entertainment.

The best of the tourney so far fro me. great performance from both players, excelent breakbuilding, 3 tons for Robbo, 1 for Allen highest break of tourney, it was punch and counterpunch all the way throughout, wih Robbo winning 1st frame, Allen leveled, then Robbo made it 2-1, Allen moved ahead 3-2 with that ton, then Robbo won the next 2 with another ton, Allen got it back level again, Robbo won the next to lead 5-4 but Allen eventually forced the decider.

In that last one Allen layed a perfect safety off a red, send it back to black cushion and the white in behind yeallow in baulk. In all sorts of trouble, Robbo pullled off the shot of the tourney, coming off the baulk cushion to pot that same red over the pocket, and went on to make yet another ton.

It was a sick way for Allen to lose, but I don't think he should be that disappointed cause he didnt miss any chances, he just never had another shot after that perfect snooker.

Robbo looking very strong, will take some beating that's for sure.

Is it me or have all five deciders so far this week been first player to get a chance goes off and gets the game over and done with. I can't think of one where both players had real chance to seal the match.

Match of the week so far in what's becoming the best tournament of the season

It's fate that it will go 9-9 on Sunday night after all the deciders this week, five in nine games

when mark played the snooker i had my head down thinking its over

was stunned when the red went in

well Mags did indeed have a good chance in his decider, but never managed to win it in the end. Apart from that, then yeah first player in goes on to make a frame winning contribution.

robbo has more respect for allen than ding i think

Mags had a chance and Selby didn't take his in one visit either.

Yes, but there's never been an actual counter from the eventual losing player - which considering that players are getting scrappy frames en route to the decider it appears strange that everything is sorted rather quickly.

best quality match i have saw in a long time and great finish

Interesting to hear Robbo comment on "the shot" and also on his pace of play and former Trump's comments about it.

it was no fluke IMO as robbo said its a 1/10 but he played to pot it not move it

Allen has the Heart for a fight that Robbo has sometimes you got to question Ding on that
