Kyren really not in the match at all yet.


Saw the double? Terrible...

The nightmare scenario: folk like the Hawk, Kyren, do brilliantly to wipe out the talented, then play durge to leave the gate open to the grinders. Effing brilliant. :shc:

I love watching Selby, but I feel like it's an achievement these days when he makes a break above 50.

Compared to the Ding v MJW match, Selby v Wilson is/was pretty poor so far (only watched up to the end of the 3rd frame, it may have improved since then).

If they do, I will wipe 2016 as the year the Worlds didn't take place. The title would be meaningless. At least Bingo won it on merit, playing great snooker. This is bucking dross from the dross-meister and his slow, grinding, cockwomble, teeth-pulling, bucket of marmite, butt ugly, so called effing snooker.

There, I've said it. :innocent:

In days gone by, players were scared of him but with sports psychos and better standards, practise and better technique, I firmly believe that some players will get up for big matches against the legends of snooker more than against other players. We've seen that in Round 1, where 7 seeds fell and we've seen it in round two where the GOAT fell. I fully expect Kyren and the Hawk to play dross; they've had there finals. It would be a tragedy if Round 2. produced the best match.

There, I've said it. :innocent:

Odd comment from a "snooker fan" reminiscent of whiny ROS fanboys who stop watching when Ronnie goes out.

May as well tune out now and save us your whining. <ok>

Those seeds just played crap. Fear factor had nothing to do with it.

You might want to have a look at the list of titles Ronnie's won from 2012 until now. Still winning a lot of tournaments. A lot more than the other forty year olds. He's still great. Fear factor or no fear factor.

Hawkins played fantastic. But remember this years Masters final: 10-1!

:goodpost:

Ronnie hasn't entered all tournaments, and still won the Masters and the Welsh Open. His fans on here have no faith in him. Two tournament wins, and as soon as he loses one decider people go "Uggggh! Decline."

The Masters was great ( :bowdown: ) but doesn't count towards ranking unfortunately. I'd like to see ROS enter more tournaments instead of all this exhibition stuff but I doubt he will. The last thing we want to see if the GOAT slip from the 16 and have to go through qualifying for Worlds '17.

The 'Opens' begin next season, don't they? Irish, Scottish etc. Do we think O'Sullivan would enter those since they're 'home soil' in the UK as it were, or what?

Not sure if it's been discussed yet tbqh.

On topic, this is poor from Kyren. It really is.

The English Open is in Manchester. Bit far from Essex.
