F.... me but what a bloke !! Rory. I thought I was already down and out with a blues while he made it. Graeme is an absolute nothing regarding these best of 7s. While Rory´s always solid.

Not that I support any upsets like that or these by any means. But surely, FFS, what a result !! It is only Rory, and I DO know it is only Rory, who can make something like that to happen. Goes without saying I wish a 100% fully physical recovery to Graeme. And I do know that will be the case. It is not me who would ever hope anything else. BUT as an just an odd idea to lighten things while for example me was already down and out with the blues, just simply mindblowing, working, brilliant, just simply genius. And it is not even the first time he has done something like that. Just amazing. What a bloke !!! :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

Brilliant, and highly surprising stuff all the way.

If he was playing someone like Dominic Dale or Higgins opponent yesterday Lisowski I'm sure he would have been on TV.

Still though... it's a lame excuse from WS.


Have they explained why he didn’t get on the TV table or are we just guessing?

They haven't but they'll probably come up with the McLeod excuse.

They can’t actually openly admit that? Slam two players for the price of one!

Right, i’m on the plane to Thailand. Taxi-ing now. Good luck Ronnie!

Wouldn't be surprised if Ronnie lost first round here.~

Had it not been for his ES contract, he wouldn't even have entered this one me thinks...

His last match of the year should have been the German masters qualifiers.... anyway.

He has the "permission" to lose.

Gave us so much joy so far.

Yes it's impossible to win tournament after tournament after tournament. No player is that good, not even Hendry.

But I do hope Ronnie enters the German Masters and qualifies. It's for me one of the best events of the season, even if it has low prize money. Last season King beat him in a match he should have never lost.

Ronnie should play kamikaze snooker if the frames he plays turn out to be scrappy...

if it works, great, if it doesnt, wont be bothered.

This way he wont spend too much mental energy... Shoult he reach the Quarters, thats when he should start thinking about the title, especially if he faces Higgins.

I expect Ronnie to lose to a journeyman in the second or third round. Maybe Milkins in the 2nd round. After all the matches where Ronnie destroyed him I wouldn't mind seeing the Milkman to get a win over ROS.

Too early to tell.

Either Milkins or Oliver Lines next wont be easy,especially with a Best of 7.

yeah good point. And he also played well against Kleckers in the first round of the NI. I still think he wouldn't have entered this if he didn't have the contract with Eurosport.

Only 2 years ago Hendry's 36 rankers seemed so far away to reach, but now I do think Ronnie will beat that.

I'm certain he wouldn't.
He think it's a wi-win. Win the title, great, lose at some point, then he continues as a pundit.

Yeah, but remember that Ronnie has many more events to choose from now. Personally, I only rate the Triple Crown in terms of greatness - and as for century count... the Crucible list, to me, is the most significant. Or the Triple Crown as a whole too.

It would be a great achievement, don't get me wrong. But like the century total across all events, it's rather skewed when you factor in how many events there now are.

Ronnie will be relaxed and will just play and see what happens, he's not going to bend over backwards.

Saying that, he's won many tournaments over the years playing like that lol
