Williamhill.com UK Championship Quarter Final Discussion !!

It's getting tense but Ronnie's looking strong

All over, Bingham through, congrats on a well played match.

Bad luck Ronnie, maybe next year.

Very disappointed, most of the damage was done before the interval.

Awesome result for big ballrun!! Surely a scalp like that will have his confidence soaring. Would love to see him as uk champ :)

Well, all credit to Bingham. He hold himself together at the end.

Ronnie was very solid after the MSI. He can look forward to the Masters and he has the game to win it.

I'm not, ok a little bit just because it's Ronnie, but I expected this since 3-1 to be honest.

Ronnie didn't play bad, but Bingo was just superior in all departments.

Well done Bingo

Happy Birthday Ronnie.

Ronnie fought hard to come back at Bingham, unfortunately that cannon didn't work out being in the break around the black.

I agree. But I liked the way how Ronnie fought back at the end. How he made these two brillant breaks. That reminded me of the way he'd been playing at the WC this year. We can look forward to the Masters.

And Bingo's good omen was right:

2 wins at the Uk Champs.

A pity. Ronnie didn't get going until after the interval.

Not many players left that I would want to watch now.

Had he got that it would be 5 all for sure and then he would be favourite.

Nevermind that, Bingo fully deserved his win.

Hope Robbo now comes through his, he will of course, no way Mags will comeback from 5-1 down.

Yeah I was a lot more disappointed after he lost that decider against Trump in his last defeat here in the UK. He won the Champion of Champions against Bingo, now Stuart got the better of him. Just the way the game is.

Dennis: Robbo has won the Big 3: The UK, Masters and Worlds.

And that was recorded a long time ago, didn't the Beeb see that?

I think Ronnie prefers the longer matches. I think he would have turned this match around in a best of 17 or 25.

definately, like he did at the CoC.

nevermind, as TR said this are good signs from him ahead of the Masters, a tourney I would love if he won it again.

That would be great as well. After they changed the UK format 2 years ago, the Masters became the second biggest tournament in my book. But I would love to see Ronnie lift that UK trophy at least one more time before he retires.

Yeah 1 more Masters and UK would be lovely.

It wasn't a match many expected him to win, so you've got to give him respect for beating Ronnie.

I said it 2 weeks ago already and I say it again. Bingham is one of the best players in world, currently top 5 at least. But he's still a bit underestimated I think this will change this weekend. I can see him winning this.

It's a tournament he traditionally does well at.

Yes, it's always bringing the best out of him.

Mags reduces to 5-2. A long way to go still, don't think Robbo will let him win many more frames.

Robbo already on 55 tons this season after he made 1 here as well.

If he keeps it going and reaches the final Judd's record is in danger.

Yeah me too, he can definately beat Robbo if he keeps playing like this.

Oh and Imagine him and Allen in the final...

Grudge match.

After 3 years not turning up or playing badly, I also expect great things from him there in January.

Stuart Bingham 6-4 Ronnie O'Sullivan
Neil Robertson 5-2 Stephen Maguire

Allen vs Bingham would be an interesting final. Maybe we'll witness a boxing match for free after the match. Only joking. In terms of tension and needle Allen vs Bingham would be indeed great but I can't see Bingham beating Robertson in a best of 17 match. Neil is my topfavourite for the title, he is too consistent atm.

He is, but Robbo doesnt want this to continue for much longer, I expect him to win 6-2 or 6-3.
