Coral Players Championship Quarter Finals !!

Cmon Ronnie FFS

what a split that was.

5-3

Ronnie, no choke or mental lapse please.

Not something like he did vs Selby at the Northern.

A loss would be like the German Masters loss vs Murphy some years back where Ronnie played sublime snooker from 0-2 down to lead 4-2, only to choke away the decider.

Lovely break. Come on Ronnie, one more frame.

poor safety

He screwed up that saftey very badly.

Hands were on the table. no excuse to make such an error.

What a call from Hendry lol

Higgins was on a slightly tricky red, not guaranteed to get position for a colour. Had to screw back with some power. Hendry immediately said be careful with the middle pocket. And he was right.

what a gift by Ronnie for John

Higgins makes easy work of Ronnie, by thrashing the heavily out of form Ronnie 6-0.

We may never see Ronnie's tournament winning form come back. Gone are the days of December 2018. Long gone.

That's why you need one former player commentating. To make calls like that.

The ideal pairing for me is a journalist who knows all the facts about the game, knows who all the current players are etc and a player who has played at a high level, that can explain what is happening on the table at any given time.

This is a balance the BBC in particular never seem to get right.

Ronnies safety has been rubbish in this match

I was just joining in with Ronnie fans.

5:4 for sure. Higgins wont miss from here

Who ever wins have got chance against the other players left in it

I dont trust Ronnie to win this in a decider.

He has to win the next frame.

Ronnie makes too many unforced errors. And his shot selection can be garbage at times.
Looks like 5-4.

Rolf Kalb is still figuring out how that in off happened.

No chance I mean

He's trying to play the perfect safety shot everytime. Using a lot of side, playing 3 or 4 cushion shots. Sometimes you need to play a containing one. Like the good old Selbo does.

He's gifted Higgins tons of chances in this match.

Gone are the days when Ronnie used to be a good front runner.

That's my point. I just don't get him at times, the dump shot is a very good shot.

MDG, are you German?

Your English is very good.

I wouldn't have known it wasn't your first language.

If Ronnie loses it’s his own fault
