    LOL at Carter trying to psyche Ronnie out...:D

    Ebdon's influence again no doubt...

    Don't think there is anyway of psyching Ronnie out at the moment.

    He has refused a few risky shots, thought better of them and played good safety instead. Must be that chimp thing the sports psychologist was on about! :D

    Not that I am obsessed or anything..... :D but I would like to point out that Michaela is wearing a different top to that from before the break. Why would that be?

    YES!!!!!

    We will be back tonight... ;)

    And that also means we will be seeing Davis and Parrott in their bow ties. ;)

    Wonder what Hazel will wear, though? She actually wore a dress a few years back - and she looked very good in it, too. ;);)

    Ali *needed* that confidence booster. Would love to see him get it together and give Ronnie a match to remember.

    Time for a maximum? :D

    He was going for it, or the black again and it could cost him the frame. C'mon Ali you got a chance now take it!

    Serge Pizzorno from Kasabian has just landed at the Cruicble, he's good pals with Ronnie.

    Ronnie starting to make mistakes now. Suppose the pressure of getting closer to the finishing line can often be as great as the pressure of being behind.

    I don't think it's that. He's done that all tournament once he's built up a big lead he took his foot off the pedal a little, the thing is no one was able to punish him enough for it. His B game is still formidable to carry him through one frame every now and again. But definitely if Ali is to make a comeback there's no better opportunity than right now.

    Don't disagree with you for the most part, a final can be a different beast though. You'd be more inclined to get to the finishing line quickly in a final, it just might frustrate Ronnie a little more than usual if Ali can pull a couple more frames back at this point.

    Frame safe for Ali there.

    And a century for Ali!! Excellent stuff. Another frame for Ali could be very significant. Huge frame this one.

    It's strange but the pressure should begin to lift now for Carter, he's on a hiding to nothing, maybe his cue arm may move a bit freely now.

    Think his cue arm is back now!

    Edit : or is it ?

    Newbie alert!

    Really glad to see Ali getting back in form and hoping he closes the gap in frames.

    That guy sitting to the left of Ali's seat really likes his blue shirts. He was wearing a blue jersey yesterday and now a blue t-shirt. Makes him stand out I suppose.
