UK Players Tour Championship 3 Discussion !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not a good start by Higgins at all, lost the first frame to Thistlewhistle. Plenty of careless shots

Careless from Norris here. Gould needed three snookers and now only needs one...

Norris over the line, avoids the whitewash at least.

Coming up shortly Ronnie O'Sullivan vs Simon Bedford ...

Looks like Ronnie's first match of the season's about to start.

Ronnie's first match since his World Triumph

CMON RONNIE

Yeah, already up and running..

Nice to see you back Snooker Overdrive, and even nicer to watch Ronnie again

But Bedford not to be underestimated, remember I think he beat Ronnie in ptc 11 last season... that was also the time when Ronnie was fed up playing in the ptcs, but still he at least knows how to beat him, and that counts as something

1-0 to the World Champion

The problem Ronnie may have here is that most other players have been playing for two or three months now, while Ronnie is coming into the season cold. Of course if Ronnie gets past the relatively easy players he has first, he could play himself into form a bit.

I think he'll do just fine this weekend

yeah hope so too... he should at least reach the last 16, where he could possibly face Bingham or Neil Robertson

Ronnie so far in full attacking mode... hope that doesn't turn against him...

yeah a shame, would like to eatch that one too

Noticed Ronnie wasn't killing frames off in one visit on live scoring. Was he missing balls or running out of position a lot?

EDIT: nevermind that, I think I mistoke him for Sam Baird... don't think Bedford as ever beaten Ronnie

running out of position, and so far he's going for everything... china open 2008 first round style..... he's leading 2 nil nevertheless

Before my time. Anyway, it's easy to go for everything and win if your opponent can't make a break over 30.

Well the initials are the same. At least you didn't mix him up with Snookerbacker.

Bedford won't win a frame in this match.

yeah dont think so too, he's playing shockingly bad... and Ronnie therefore doesn't even have to use 10% of his game

Bloody hell, Ronnie in this mood makes Trump look like Selby. He's lucky he has such a crap opponent. Anyone half decent would've punished him for all the mistakes he's making.

Agree... this tactic wont work against better opponents.. but he usually changes his game plan a bit against those
