what is the problem?
if Ronnie played like this knock everything in making quickfire century breaks people would be twiddling over it.
Problem is playing like that looks bad when they dont go in.
He's playing like a maniac. I think, 2 seconds average shot time and smashing the pack of reds after your opponent breaks off isn't standard snooker.
ok fair point.
talking to matt off prosnookerblog was too much for his mentality to cope with.
That was before he played Bingo there, but youre right.

I don't think he will calm down SO.
Remember that match he had at the China Open against Fu? Remember his attitude and average shot time around 4 or 5 sec?
That's the Ronnie we have here today.
FFS, as I said earlier, I would much prefer if he didn't enter this event than him playing like he doesnt care if he wins or not, just wants get out of there.
But he nearly won that match. So there's a decent chance he'll win today even playing bullocks.

The only thing missing here is him conceding a frame when there are enough points to win, or worst of all concede the entire match like he did against Hendry.
The way it's going, that possibility isn't as remote now.

I want Ronnie to lose here.
May be the first time I've said this, but I'm being honest and with an attitude like this he can lose every match as far as I'm concerned.

His head just isnt there, he definately needs a good Christmas break and be fully fresh for the Masters.

Un-Nooh 3-2 up.
he's a good player to watch isnt he, and that's also a reason I'm supporting him here.

That Un-Nooh guy is playing like Tony Drago in his prime. What's going on?! Ronnie didn't even play a shot.

Haven't seen the beginning of the frame. Did he smash the pack again? Or went for a pathetic pot? Because Un-nooh was very fast 30+ ahead.

Stupid long pot again from Ronnie, cost him the frame.

Ronnie made a 40 break, looking like he couldn't give a rubbish whether he missed or potted a ball.
Obviously got his mind on other things.

Truly pathetic from Ronnie, but Un-Nooh is taking his chances very well.
Cmon, punish Ronnie for his childish behaviour.
4-2 now to him.

It's a shame that he won't go to Germany next year. Very disappointing, such a terrific tournament.

It is, but playing like this attitude he doesnt deserve to.

Just a brief awakening from my snooker hibernation to say while you worry about ROS, Gary Wilson has made a max (or missed on 140, stupid live scores!) against Ricky Walden.

If Ronnie couldn't be bothered/play well enough to beat someone ranked below 65, he doesn't deserve to play at the venue.

Ronnie somehow reduces to 4-3
He may still win this match

Hearn said on twitter there was an agm in Barnsley today but only 8 players turned up. I wonder if Ronnie turned up, didn't like some of the things he heard now is in a tiff or if he just has somewhere to be with his kid etc. as when the referee forgot to re-spot the black earlier Ronnie jokingly looked at his watch. His mind might not be totally on it, but to say he's 'bringing the game into disrepute' like some have is ridiculous imo, he's won 3/7 frames.
