It's always good to admit your obbessions/addictions mate always the first step
But I can understand it because he is phenomal and plays snooker like no other human being can. Who could not get a hit out of watching snooker like that.

I remember Ronnie hammering Ding Junhui when people thought Ding was on a roll (similar to Robo Cop now!). Ronnie is no respecter of reputations.

Even Murphy hammered Robbo just last year after he played even better than he has this week

I think it'll be closer than some of the other contests Ronnie has faced this week but as others have mentioned, he won't be frightened of winning this at a canter. If he can forge 4-1 or 5-1 in front then it well may be a 9-3 or 9-4 scoreline. Personally I think it'll be 5-3 before he wins 9-5 or 9-6

I missed frame 2. When they had a break for camera difficulties, I nipped to the bar to order a beer, and only made it back for frame 3.

There's still time
He'll win this year, I'm telling you. I really think he'll make it six this year.
The doubt is whether he'll break Hendry's record. But I would be amazed if Ronnie doesn't win another World Title.

They'd tumble below Perry in the rankings if they did that.
Thorne is such a bellend.
He thinks everybody who isn't him is inferior snooker-wise, intellect-wise and pretty much in every other way. He really didn't win much in his career, yet he think he can give players of Selby's caliber patronising advice. He'll be slagging off other people's haircuts next.

Did you enjoy the match, Snookerfan? I think it was a fantastic, high quality match. Wish I was there.

The first frame was a bit grim, but after that it picked up. Good performance by both men, shame there had to be a loser.
I would've said I wanted to go 6-5 either way, but I'd been watching snooker all day and was a bit knackered by the end.
I make Ronnie favourite today, but I think after seeing both matches yesterday I know think it'll be closer than I originally thought.
