Indeed. Great stuff. Playing like a champ.

The Worry for Robertson is Barry not missing plus Barry isnt in new territory having reached the Crucible one table set up twice beore

And beat Selby twice at the Crucible lately

cracker

Wow what a pot again from Barry!

He looks so composed and in control it's almost frightening.

Hawkins was born to play in the Crucible. It's amazing how much better he plays at the Crucible. It seemed like Robbo was unstopable, but look what the Hawk is doing!

Randoms can beat Selby. It's not biggie.

Keep it up Baazz

When will Robbo get on the ice bucket malarkey?

I wouldn't mind Hawkins lifting the trophy. He's a class act.

Good morning everybody. A consideration on Ding: I think Ding has come to a very crucial point in his career. Next season will be of massive importance for him because if the downfall continues he may miss the boat once and for all like some other players have done in the past. The prime example should be Murphy's attitude before the Masters when he openly admitted that he's been left behind by other players and worked hard to close a considerable gap. Complimentary comments like Doherty's won't do him any good, someone if not Ding himself has to step up and say: you're playing like rubbish, do something because the elite players are running away from you. I'm sure Hendry, since he's involved with China's snooker and generally speaks his mind out loud might be that man.

Robbo always tight to the cushion once he comes to the table.

i cant understand what happenen to robboe after being 3-1. peaking too early?

It's not Robbo, it's Hawkins. Barry's playing brilliant all round snooker. Outplaying Robbo.

Baz getting stronger and stronger here....

Yes, Ding needs to wake up. Hendry should have a word with him.

At the moment the only chance Robbo has of getting in is a kick

you never know with barry

he can come back from behind, he can choke big leads.

The difference to the previous two rounds is that he ran into a player who believes he can beat him and isn't intimated by Robbo's scoring and imposing demeanor.

barry choking a bit.

Ding had more chances against Trump than Robbo is getting from Barry

The biggest damage Barry has caused to Neil is that he's has taken the fearless scoring attempts away from him. Only hard matchplay display could get Neil out of trouble now.

"If I play like I did, then I wont get beaten,"

I would love if Ronnie made him eat those words, but I'm afraid Judd may be right.

He's lucky Ronnie's not playing his A game. Very lucky.
