A joke that somebody finds funny.
He'll probably lose in the next round.

Doubt Ronnie will lose, but on a bad day anything can happen. I want both him and MJW to go through and set up another showdown. Their last 2 matches ended both 6-5, 1 win each.

Forget him. If his beloved Dotty were there he certainly wouldn't say it's a joke. All the players are there for a reason and they deserve it on merit.
The bottom half has more players higher up the rankings, but that doesn't mean a thing out there in the green baize. You have to beat whoever is in front of you.

By the way, amazing wins for Oliver Lines and Jaime Jones. On a good day any player on the tour can cause an upset, that's what makes snooker so exciting and unpredictable.

The way Ronnie is playing, he's the favourite for the tournament.
As fashionable as it is to pretend he's rubbish.

We're almost at the stage last year when Hendry started throwing hissy fits and tantrums, and wouldn't shut his yap about the second half being the 'real final' before the final. That Robbo v Selby semi.
I would like Zhou to send Murphy packing, hopefully Fu goes as well. Neither of them have been good at all and Fu still doesn't know what consistency is.

Anyone knows what matches are "main"? I mean, between the two, which one will Eurosport cover?
I'm assuming O'Sullivan, Selby, Higgins, and Williams? Fine with that, but would love if the last one is actually Brecel - Maguire match.

Not sure about 7 'young guns'...but, depends on one's interpretation of 'young' in a snooker sense!
Some might consider Jamie Jones as a young player, but he's a full decade older than Zhou Yuelong.
Ronnie turns 41 on Saturday while Liam Highfield plays tomorrow on his 26th birthday.

It's good to have faith in your man. Haven't seen him yet this week, he must be playing well though. Good for him. Always liked him and anyone who can get to two Crucible finals is top class.

Fancy Gilbert to meet Ronnie in the top half, Selby Murphy in the other.

Absolutely PoolBoy.
For me personaly,a young gun is a snooker player who,s 30 years young or younger.
Even though without lookin it up,or 100% knowin it,i really did,nt think that Mark Allen was so young,he,s only <just> still a young gun though.
And i did,nt think that Dave Gilbert was so old.
