Perry knew his role. Guys like him are merely meant to be the support act.
At least Perry still plays to his normal standard when playing O'Sullivan. unlike Carter and Hawkins, Ding or Walden.
That's a good point actually. Too many fold against Ronnie before a ball has even been struck. So fair play to Perry for not crumbling.

Ronnie calling Robbo 'Robocop'.
His interviews this week have been gold.

Where are all the Ronnie haterrs and Selby fans? Have they all left the forum?
Anyway, great match. Really enjoyed that. Some great snooker. Well done Perry

Impressive but not that surprising really. I mean he even destroyed Hendry and Higgins playing near their limit.

Quality wise this might be an even better tournament for Ronnie than the 2014 Masters.

Looking forward to the final.
I think Robertson will give ROS his toughest match.
9-6 to Ronnie.

Predictions guys:
How many times will Robocop go to the toilet?
How many times will the ice bucket mixer come out if ROS is playing well?
Will his shot time go up 50%?

Ronnie played well, but it wasn't faultless, there were two blacks off the spot missed; these are lapses of concentration that Robbo can punish if he brings his A game to the final.
I think it will be a close final!

I can see both players hammering each other on their day, they're that good. It took a monster performance from Trump to beat him at the Masters, otherwise I believe we'd have had Ronnie v Robbo in the final there. I hope Ronnie wins, but Robbo is no pushover.

I agree with that. Robertson has more to prove and needs to beat O'Sullivan in a long match. It probably won't happen here.

The chance of Ronnie destroying the Aussie is higher than the other way around.

I think it's 10-6 in matches to Ronnie but the last one was the '15 Masters with Robbo winning 6-1

Finals of this magnitude by two greats can be a classic or can be a walk over because if they bring their A Game the other player no matter how good hes playing might not have much of a chance to play.

I'll be supporting the chavmeister but robocop is favourite for me. If he's off it, he can go out in the in the quarters or last 16/32 but when he's on it, he often wins. And he's on it this week. For sure, something has to give between them.
Deciding frame!

I think you should be awarded Ronnie fan boy of the century award. I personnally find it unhealthy how you go on but if it makes you happy then whatever.
I hope Robo Cop can make a game of this but I doubt it.

I am a fanboy because I say it's always a posibility Ronnie might hammer Robbo? I've seen Ronnie hammer Hendry, Higgins, Selby... So it's definitely possible he hammers Robbo, right? I don't think he will, but it's possible.
