BetVictor Welsh Open Last 32 !!!

This is like watching the 2004 O'Sullivan. The scariest version of ROS.
Playing like a machine and wiping out the opponents in no time.

How great it'd be if he takes this form into the WC.

A cynical person might say he needed something like that to spur him on and did it intentionally for that reason.

roberston fu tomorrow will be fun. hope fu doesnt play as bad as he did at the masters

Could be match over in 10 minutes.

The snooker hipsters are wrong. No chance he's declined. He's certainly miles better than he was between 2009 and 2011.

He's in decline. Been declining since 2008 or something

Aye, people have been shouting decline at every opportunity with Sullivan. Generally people who don't like him.

I personally stand by my statements. Just because he puts in vintage performances now and again doesn't mean he's as good as he was. He's definitely mentally tougher consistently, which has probably helped him keep winning.

No disrespect Skull, but you haven't watched (almost) every Ronnie match since 2006. I did and I tell you Ronnie was never better than in the past 4 years. And I'm not even talking about mental strength, just his natural game.

I'd say he was better in 2012-2013 than he is now overall. All dependent on consistency. If he keeps this form up beyond the Welsh, I will retract my statement of decline and accept any ridicule pointed my way.

which game will be streamed?

John Higgins vs Michael White/Wenbo or ronnie vs Poom/delu on 2 pm

cracking long pot

When I say decline, I mean he's not as good as he was in 2012/3. I think 2014 he flattered to deceive a lot more and got by on mental strength more than playing ability. I don't pretend to know anything about before I started watching, regardless of how much I've watched on YT.

Dear lord. His long potting is ridiculous.

That evening session was some of the best stuff I've ever seen.

Missed a black. Decline.

Copycat

I remember people rejoicing in 2011 when Higgins went ahead of him in world titles and claimed he was better than Ronnie because of that stat alone. Some even said Higgins was player of the 00's even though he trailed Sullivan significantly in the 00's. I'm glad people have been bitten since then.

poomjaeng is on a max

JH relied on some heavy choking in his comeback season

White 3-0 on Wenbo. Thought that'd be closer.
