You get the feeling Ronnie's changing his mindset to winning frames with minimal effort over entertaining the crowd with high breaks.

6-0 ROS.

Good job but consistency hasn't been his forte in recent times so we'll see how he fares against Bingo. He'll win of course, but be interesting to see if he can keep it up.

Well we can't complain about Ronnie's performance today

Yeah unfortunately for him he isn't playing Robertson

Yes, he would definitely have beaten Robbo.

But Ronnie tonight was unstoppable. No one in the world could have beaten him - especially the peroxide warrior.

81% pot success for Milkins.

Not really applying much pressure to Ronnie, but I'll leave the uber critical hat off tonight.

Everybody was acting like Milkins was going to thrash Ronnie.

I see a certain Mr O'Sullivan is back in the room!

Ronnie just steamrolled to victory like was playing against an amateur. Feel sorry for Milkins.

You don't have a lot of confidence in Bingham, have you?

Don't forget he send your favourite player home 2 weeks ago against all odds.

Yeah nothing much to say about that.

Just took his chances well, whereas Milkins after the 1st and 2nd frames that he should have won lost his head and wasn't present in the match anymore.

Will be an interesting match with Bingo, he himself said the only time he beat Ronnie was at the UK Champs and said that might be a good omen. Mind you, that season Ronnie had the worst of his career and his head was completly gone in all of the first round matches he lost. And before some of you start saying I'm using that as an excuse, in fact I'm right in saying that because after that season ended he had lost something like 4 or 5 first round matches in rankers.

I can't moan today. Strong performance, I hope, he keeps playing like that.

I don't have a lot of confidence when he plays Ronnie. He can give anyone else a game.

I was one of them

Robbo is playing a bit rubbish. He's let Perry win a frame.

he did give Ronnie a game at the PTC this season and especially at the CoC, and Ronnie just won that, Bingo played well in both of those matches. You're acting like everytime he meets Ronnie the latter steamrrols past him, which isn't true.

Ronnie also celebrates his birthday tomorrow, so he definitely doesn't want to crash out tomorrow, that's for sure.

Tough one. Both Perry and Milkins are decent players.

My head says Perry beating Robbo would be the bigger upset. My heart says there's absolutely no way Ronnie loses a match to Milkins.

I think there was a correct prediction in there somewhere, but I'd had a beer and even I aint sure what I was talking about.

Knew you would

This forum.

This afternoon everyone was acting like Ronnie had no chance of winning, and he won 6-0 in little over an hour. Now everybody is acting like beating Bingham is routine.

Full attention on Robbo's match now. In fact even when Ronnie was on I was watching that one too and Perry has missed some curcial balls and Robbo took advantage of that.

3-1 to him, Robbo won't lose this now.

Carter's had plenty of close games with Ronnie. I don't see people having confidence in him beating Ronnie. Why should I be any more confident in Bingo?

Interesting stat:

Ronnie and Milkins played in total 27 frames against each other in their career.

Ronnie won 24 of these frames. That's 89%.

I know I aint, because as I said last 2 matches they had Ronnie could have easily lost against him, so for instance Skull saying Bingo can't give Ronnie a game is just donkey doo talk, of course he can, may not win, but Ronnie certainly won't have it easy I'm sure of that.

Well I don't think, there was even one person here acting like that. Many of us thought, it could be a tighter match but that's it.

Robbo looks very ordinary. I fear for him if he should reach the semi-final and play O'Sullivan.

You're right, but saying Bingo can't give Ronnie a game is just wrong. Carter too like you said can give him a good game but has always lost when things get close.

Tomorrow Ronnie will have to play well to beat Bingo,otherwise it'll be a repeat of that clash at the UK in 2010.

Okay I'll phrase it better. Bingo might have a close match with Ronnie but there's absolutely 0% chance of him winning.
