Not against top players at least.

Wouldn't be surprised to see a few big names pull out of Belfast. Lots of big events coming up and it's been a very tough 5/6 weeks for some

the one who has a chance for the 1 million wont pull out. believe me

Ronnie would believe me!

Just to rub it on their faces, and I'd love if he actually did it having won this one.

yeah you are right

wins the first 3 events. gets to the final of the 4th. deciding frame. ronnie shakes hand nd concedes the frame and match

"Ronnie pulls out, citing £1million not enough prize money."

even Ronnie wouldnt do that... Alex Higgins might have though in the past.

However if he wins this one, there's a chance he may pull out of the NI Open.. I doubt it though.

I feel he's got too many 'yes men' around him telling him it looks okay!
What a mess! Just grow bald gracefully, nothing wrong with that!

The hair looks like the top of an eggplant. Sorry, Jimmy!

Whilst we're talking about Ronnie acting like a idiot, whatever happened to Power Snooker? The tournament he called "The Future Of Snooker", and "Better Than The Crucible"?

That pretty much died a death, didn't it?

I didn't mind it that much the first year, though the second year they took it too seriously.

It was better than the ShitOut has ever been.

With an utterly ridiculous 19 ranking events, no player is going to be 'consistent'.
It's all become a little farcical
Tomorrow, players are expected to play Ranking-Event matches back-to-back on the same day!
Farce!
To think, there used to only be 6 or 7 competitions in an entire year!
They're totally 'diluted' now!

19 ranking events is surely much better than 6 rankers, we don't wanna go back to Walker's silly regime.
However, the 19 rankers could be better spread on the calendar.

Plus, having the ShitOut as a ranker is beyond belief to say the least. All the top players should boycot that and don't enter, I hope Ronnie doesn't at least.

Players need to pick and choose more. Only idiots will play in everything.

How would you feel if Ronnie's next ranking event win to go ahead of Steve Davis and Higgins was the shoot out.

Ding 3-0 up and has a lead in the fourth frame.

This. Why the hell would anybody want the days of six rankers back? That's just stupid.

They are a bit crunched together, but not everybody has to enter everything.

He will have achieved it by then.

Ding through comfortably winning 4-0.

I would feel embarassed, and consider Ronnie's 29 ranker win only when he wins a proper one like last week was.

I would feel like he was still on 28 that's what I'm saying.

Is Mags currently on the TV table?

aye

Maguire's break building is looking good so far.

2-1 with a ton.

Super break from Mags.

Anyone else see Mark Allen give the middle finger to the black he missed while on for a maxi?

one of the few top players to never make one in a professional event.

...but had two of the lesser seen 146's

Yeah I can understand his frustration, an easy black and the reds were perfect

I'll be home in about half an hour. Reckon I'll male the start of Murphy?

Back.

Mags hit and hope returns!

Day amongst the reds with a chance to level and force the decider.

Mags starting to blow out of his backside.

As I said 2 hours ago, Ronnie's 7pm session will be delayed massively, since Murphy v Wenbo is due next.

Unless they put them on another table. Then we wouldn't hear he end of Smurph stop moaning about it..

tbh murphy hasnt done or shown anything this season (apart from a 147) to be even on the tv table

Decider alert!
