Yes or No?
Britain should stay in The EU. The British government is responsible for so negligence in many errors, and The EU have brought them in to line. Air Pollution, the pollution of the rivers, the employment rights of temporary workers, I could go on. But basically Britain is no longer the power it once was, and is better as part of the European unit for all its faults.
Thanks, I agree we should stay in. We run the risk of becoming like Norway if we leave which is just one of the cons.
You're aware that poor old Norway is one of the wealthiest countries in Europe with a banked investment from oil of nearly 1m person? Oh, you didn't know that? Plus, they don't have to commit billions to the EU budget to be wasted on farmers in Europe. The Swiss also enjoy a very wealthy life in the free trade area. Stuff the City of London, let's get real.

Both have the ability to run away with the match which makes predicting this very difficult.
So I won't even attempt to.

Okay, you've convinced me. We need to leave the EU.

A lot of talk about players using machinery. Sounds a bit pervy somehow.
Does Robbo likes machinery in other áreas of his life?

The Beeb did a behind-the-scenes on The Rack Pack last night and Ian Hunt says to Willie Thorne in the studio 'The guy who plays you looks just like you' and Willie goes 'Not a chance. He looks like a big Mexican bandit'
Have you seen yourself Willie.

So, to get back on topic. I'm not an Osullivan fan but you can't help but heap praise on him for some sublime play this week. I hope he goes on to win it.

Me too.
He has been fantastic. Great scoring when in the balls, good long potting, safety of a high standard.
He'll have to have a real dip in form to lose today.
However, I hope it is a close match.

It's going to be interesting to see if Robbo plays his natural game.

Good final for a mediocre tournament. Due to unforeseen circumstances, haven't been able to watch a single ball of the quarters and semis, but I assume ROS has played as well as he has been and Robbo also deserved winner in both his matches.
Anyway, will be back in 30 mins after making lunch and catching up on Ding's max (
BTW) .

Ronnie's played fantastic in every match. Totally destroyed Selby. His match against Perry yesterday was marvelous.

One aside, how did Ding play against Robbo? Was he just outclassed or was he just really bad, max aside?

For me it's quite possible that Robbo could compete and that he could win (though Ronnie is the favourite of course) today. He can compete in break-building; he is obviously less quick, but his actual scoring and potting, if he's on top form, is at a similar level to Ronnie's. If anything, even though Robbo gets a lot of praise for tactical play as well, I think the key for him is going to be in that area. It would seem very difficult even for him to match the consistency that Ronnie has shown in the balls, so he probably needs to do a better job of keeping Ronnie cold than others have done. As we saw with Joe Perry, matching Ronnie just in the break building department won't cut it..
That's assuming that Ronnie brings top form, but I think he will.

Snooker time. A close match would be good, but if Robbo wins pretty easily I wouldn't mind.

Don't forget that every match is a new day and everything can change...
Regardless, Ronnie will warm up at some point.
