That missed red into the middle sums Lisowski up, played some brilliant shots but then makes a balls of it with the frame almost won, he reminds me of what Judd Trump used to be like, not as good maybe. Ronnie looking good so far.

eric hoone · 11-01-2022 4:48pm

Pity Lisowski didn't test Ronnie much this avo

£9,821.07 in today’s money apparently.

Did you actually just type "avo" as an abbreviation for "afternoon"?

Can you really put a price on the cachet value of a Lada?

ArmaniJeanss · 11-01-2022 6:22pm

I know we give out about the 128 player Best of 7 tournaments - but it would have been nice to have another game to roll on to when Ronnie had despatched Lisowski at 3.10 this avo.

I think it just makes each game really important having one at a time.

People used to pay to see Mike Tyson and his fights were over in 90 seconds.

11-01-2022 9:21pm

Thought for sure that yella wasn't going in..

Stevie a bit unlucky there.. Pity, was guaranteed to be ahead if white didn't go in off..

I’m so surprised that the yellow went in!

waynescales1 · 11-01-2022 9:28pm

That yellow pocket is like a bucket, red should never have dropped.

11-01-2022 9:28pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118457833#Comment_118457833

It's all happening here! 😁

Something about that 'yellow' pocket.. almost mystical how that red dropped, after Selby's pot on black..

11-01-2022 9:33pm

Come on Stevie!

Cracking a joke there with ref.. nice bit of psychology... comedy is supposed to be "The Jester's" province 😆

11-01-2022 10:03pm

Great red from Selby there... think he's rattled... red went into yellow pocket - usually that would have prompted him to 'jest' ; given what happened in last frame... It's Maguire's match to lose imo.. "Players 'pick up' on these things" 😁

Arthur Daley · 11-01-2022 10:59pm

No luck there Maguire.

Strumms · 11-01-2022 11:20pm

Loads of luck as per usual for Selby… goes about an inch away from leaving the red on, then Maguire leaves a red by missing it and ricocheting and going over the opposite pocket… you’d try that 1000 times and never do it…

As I post that his luck runs out haha.

Strumms · 11-01-2022 11:35pm

again, pure luck for Selby ! Jesus

Arthur Daley · 11-01-2022 11:41pm

I find it interesting to hear Shaun on commentary when he is still one of the top players and was out competing on the same table the night before.

kerryjack · 11-01-2022 11:47pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118458655#Comment_118458655

I don't think Shaun is great at the commentary to be honest, not natural very skripped nearly boring I would say

The Nal · 12-01-2022 5:25pm

Great game here. Trump with an incredible steal to make it 4-4

Arthur Daley · 12-01-2022 5:45pm

Tightest game all week. BBC2 might run out of time.

DelBoy Trotter · 12-01-2022 5:47pm

Think this has been the best match of the week so far. Would like to see Allen clear up here to take it to a decider

DelBoy Trotter · 12-01-2022 5:47pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118462860#Comment_118462860

And another black missed off the spot by Allen!

Genghis · 12-01-2022 6:00pm

G'wan Mark. A great match this, just wish I was off work to properly watch it.

gormdubhgorm · 12-01-2022 6:07pm

Bit I picked up on in Studio Jack Lisowski found the Trump Allen match ‘getting a bit boring- plodding along’ until Trump levelled at 4-4. It said to me that Lisowski’s concentration is not even there for watching snooker - never mind playing it!

The Nal · 12-01-2022 6:40pm

Allen was still in court an hour before the match started.

Bankruptcy hearing?

DelBoy Trotter · 12-01-2022 9:08pm

Wilson is looking very sharp this evening

Arthur Daley · 12-01-2022 9:16pm

Bingham would need a good break here to go in 3-1 down and have some chance.

eric hoone · 12-01-2022 10:35pm

This match is turning around...

DelBoy Trotter · 12-01-2022 10:44pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118464459#Comment_118464459

Time to see if Wilson can forget the last few frames and go again

12-01-2022 10:56pm

Highest break of tourney for Stuart - what a comeback!

Arthur Daley · 12-01-2022 10:57pm

Very impressive in amoung the balls

12-01-2022 11:05pm

Reanne Evans got an MBE today..

Mark Allen 'had a good day today' ; he said, in post match interview; talking about something that happened (didn't go into any details) earlier on in the day, and before his match...

Radzi, in the Eurosport Studio said that he (Allen) was either in court, or got a 'result' (a good one apparently) from the courts (something along those lines anyway)

Strange kind of coincidence , being as Allen and Reanne Evans have a bit of 'bad blood' among themselves.. those two things were hardly related (Evans' MBE, and Allen's 'result' ) 😁

Arthur Daley · 12-01-2022 11:28pm

Second decider today

12-01-2022 11:43pm

About 5/1 Wilson makes a frame and match winning contribution from here, imo, the way the reds are sityeeayted 😂

Mon Stuey!

Arthur Daley · 12-01-2022 11:57pm

Great attempt to shift the brown

The Nal · 12-01-2022 11:57pm

Alan McManus is the commentary GOAT.

gormdubhgorm · 13-01-2022 12:08am

Great days snooker. Davis on the BBC was funny calling all the aggressive shots the players should play under pressure that he would never have played himself! 😀 (Wilson - Bingham match)

13-01-2022 12:08am

WD to The Warrior..

Stuart gave Wilson too many goes at that last yellow, from the safety exchange there... almost every time Stuart hit the yellow, he left some sort of a pot on for Wilson..

Was a savage 3 break though, and he was unlucky on position on the red 😴

Sandor Clegane · 13-01-2022 12:23am

Wilson fancies himself a bit too much imo, you can hardly call yourself a game player when you haven't really won anything big yet.

13-01-2022 12:31am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118465084#Comment_118465084

Be a good match between him and Trump.. bit of a niggle between the two of them... don't really care who wins that match... hard to call - Trump likely the favourite,, a coin toss for me that one; just like most of the matches at this level.

Will go with: Ronnie , Higgins , Trump and Hawkins as the QF winners...

Strumms · 13-01-2022 12:33am

Yep he’s only won the German masters… his sole ranking tournament win. Gets knocked out far too early far too often… probably an ok fella but he does tend to have some weird interviews.

Sandor Clegane · 13-01-2022 12:47am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118465133#Comment_118465133

I also remember him complaining of not getting enough time on table one and wanting to be playing on TV which I found a bit cringe worthy tbh because in reality he's nowhere near that level yet.

Strumms · 13-01-2022 3:08am

How do we see tomorrow going ? a couple of really nice matches…

Robertson vs O’Sullivan

&

Williams vs Higgins

cant see past Higgins but Robertson vs O’Sullivan should be interesting…Mark Williams has been dispatching the lesser ranked players with gusto but anyone up the top of the rankings he’s lost out to over the last while.

13-01-2022 3:35am

Tough to call all them matches. Think Ronnie beats Robbo, on account of Ronnie should like playing that kind of player. Like you said S, hard to look past Higgins in that particular encounter with the Welshman.

I reckon I at least have the favourites (bookies) picked anyway 😄 , and, at a guess, I'll try to predict their likely odds.

Ronnie 4/5

Higgins 8/11

Trump 10/11

Selby 8/13

Will have a look on odds comparison site, and see how close I am 😊

In the other QFs I'll take Trump to edge out Wilson, and, the one I'm least confident about, I fancy a slight upset, with a Hawkins win there... Might do a small accum on the 4..

13-01-2022 3:49am

Bricks and mortar prices.. ie Ladbrokes / Boyles / ~~Paddy Power~~

Robertson 1/1 with Boyles and Ladbrokes.. best price online 11/10 v O'Sullivan 4/5 with Boyles and Ladbrokes.. best price online 10/11

Williams 13/8 with Boyles..... best price 13/8 v Higgins 8/15 Ladbrokes.. best price online 7/12

Hawkins 7/4 with Boyles and Lads.. best price online 19/10 v Selby 4/9 with Boyles and Lads... best price online 17/35

Don't see any prices on the Trump v Wilson clash, and no prices from PP quoted...

Got the Ronnie price right.. 1 outta 3... 😊

He won the Shanghai Masters a few years back when it was a ranking event. Always thought he had a touch of clinchers disease but he was superb last night though.

The Nal · 13-01-2022 11:21am

Wilson seems like a very emotional bloke. Maybe not the best trait when you're trying to get over the line in big matches.

13-01-2022 2:10pm

Go on Ronnie!

Strumms · 13-01-2022 2:25pm

Really impressive by Robertson, never looked like missing. Confident start.

13-01-2022 3:15pm

Ronnie's got some patience and composure nowadays..
