English Open Day Five

Ronnie now twitches when he has big leads unlike in the past. And these dont come against the likes of Selby either.

Game over.

Ronnie wins surely now.

buck, another choke.

damn.

He's lucky he's not leaving anything easy on after these misses.

IMO these misses are just lapses of concentration. The last ball he missed was not very hard.

Lol at the panic

Our man is through to the semis.

Would've been great to see four 20 somethings in the semis

why not?

last time he found himself 4-1 up he lost so we are bucking right to be like that.

No panic from me, just calling it as I see it. Those misses were definite chokes, imo.

Congrats Ronnie though. Got the job done without playing his best.

Plays McGill next. Ants had his best chance of beating Ronnie at the 2014 UK Champs, which he lost 6-4.

Made that last frame harder than he needed to but a good win nevertheless, McGill will be tougher than Lisowski.

Ronnie is a truly unique talent. He's a once in a century type player.

Ronnie is in the semis of a ranking event, that's all that counts. And all the remaining players should be beatable for Ronnie on a good day

He needs to stay focused and win 2 more matches and he's gonna have 29 rankers, equaling the parakeet Higgins.

What happened to my previous post ?!?
I simply typed C H E A T, is that a dirty word ???

yes it is considered like that, ever since the Higgins ban

Ronnie in the studio didnt say "oh I've had a good week, I dont care if I win or lose", he said he wants to pick more silverware and badly wants to win this.

He wont admit it, big Higgins reaching 29 must have given him a huge boost.

a pity I cant watch Ronnie's Semi tomorrow, the first match I wont be able to watch, but neverhteless wish him all the best, he really should win.

Best of luck Ron and Alex.

But it has always been like that with these two, hasn't it?

A fierce and great rivalry for over 25 years now

Thanks mate

No doubt McGill will be a bigger challenge tomorrow. He's a very solid allroundplayer. Ronnie has beaten him in all 5 matches they played though so that might be in his head.

If McGill plays anything like he did today Ronnie will slaughter him.

Ronnie just has to beat McGill tomorrow. And he will.

I can take him or leave him as a person, but Ronnie O'Sullivan is a fuckerwhop of a snooker player.

McGill should have beaten him in the 2014 UK Quarter-Final... I remember him missing a green that was the turning point in the match.

Had he won that encounter the h2h certainly wouldnt be this one sided.

Ronnie could be 17-0 up in The Crucible final, and you tarrd would think he lost if his opponent won a frame.
