That's be cool - another Davis vs White encounter. I hope this time Jimmy beats Steve to win his first title.

Yes, that is possible. (In that they are on opposite sides of the draw.)

Won't happen, but it'd be quite funny.

Yes. I took a dump in Croydon, but it stunk so bad they can even catch wind of it in Sheffield.

Walden reminds me of a very poor version of matthew stevens

So milkman for the win if he gets a good start tonight

Matthew Stevens is the poor version of Matthew Stevens

wild

Ha ha wild

If you look at it though stevens in his prime was very similiar to walden

Both excellent breakbuilders and in and around black spot both are as good as anyone.

But when the pressure comes on they start making silly shot selections

This will be shown tonght in the cinclusion of walden v milkman

And to be honest i would rather see actual snooker debate on here

Than discussion on snooker fan taking a dump or jewell bashing a retired snooker player.

So you reckons Milkins makes a comeback tonight?

I missed the last two frames of last night's match. But in both sessions it seemed that Walden put on early pressure, only for the momentum to swing Milkins way towards the end.

Personally I don't think Milkins wins 7 frames before Walden wins 3.

Suck a huge match for both dont be surprised if it goes very close

The Milkman will punish Walden today. He will get it back to 11-9 and then win on a final frame decider

for once i agree

i miss the embassy set up

the colours were class

just doesnt look as good since then IMO

All things being considered, I'd rather have a Walden vs White quarter final, than a Milkins vs White.

sf

white will beat either so in away its irrelevant who wins tonight

But he is clearly not at his best so it is Carter's best chance to beat him for sure. Carter needs to be at his best though to beat a 50% O'Sullivan.

I disagree. He has lost from a similar position at The Crucible quite a few times. Higgins from 8-5 up, Selby from 9-5 up, Allen from 9-7 up, Ebdon from 8-2 up, Gray from 9-7 up, Morgan from 9-7 up. I cannot think of that many close ones he has won in recent years. A very good front runner, but not good when it is close.

That's bull. If you are argue like that every successful player is a bottler.


Selby for example would also be a bottler, he had a great chance to go 10-7 up against Hawkins.

Trump would be a bottler because he lost to Higgins in the World final and in the Shanghai Masters. He also lost against Carter after leading 12-8.

Ding is a bottler he led Stevens 9-6 last year.


By the way Ronnie won close matches at the Crucible against:
2012 Robertson 13-10
2011 Murphy 13-10
2010 Wenbo 10-7
2010 Williams 13-10

And that only in the last 3 years.


Every great player has lost matches after leading. It doesn't make them bottlers.

Interesting that you should say that, I've recently replaced Matthew with Ricky in my profile as my snooker idol choice. Is it their temperament that you think is similar? Ricky seems quite handy with the rest which is what attracted me to him.

Sunday girl

yes temperament is the issue

nobody is as bad with the rest as matthew its not possible ha ha

SO

all players lose from ahead no one is imune from pressure

ronnie is as good a closer as there is in snooker today

I had to bring this up from the other thread because I can't let Vodkadiet get away with crap like this.

the day vod posts a pro ronnie comment is the day the world ends

IMO

You were right there in front row watching

How do you see Walden match going

?????

Spoke briefly to Ricky to say well played last night in the champagne bar. He was not drinking but quickly went up with his bird.....she is half his size. Milky keeps putting himself under big pressure with poor position then eggs himself on to take a tricky pot to recover.

Walden will win 13-9 imo.

Leo is class. Betfair are a joke.

Weather suit again......getting sozzled now. Been swimming and had huge breakfast.

Come on ding....mcd....Walden......ros

rexy

cheers top man as always

what happened with the break off farce ?????

didnt leo say walden to break ?

Suit = rubbish

He has posted some pro Ronnie stuff before. I've seen it with my own eyes.

Surely, there is absolutely no chance that Ronnie will lose to Carter?

no idea but its a fun smiley IMO

Was it frame straight after MSI...? Cos milky was down on the shot very quick before Leo was ready so I think he innocently made up leos mind before he had a chance to check and call frame number and who was to break

what matches you at today ?

Good afternoon Jewell.
