Fergal doesn’t need one! He’ll

do it on merit!

02-03-2022 8:21pm

hopefully for him alright !,, tough match against English Robbo in the pipeline (or now, not too sure)

Joe_ Public · 02-03-2022 10:36pm

Robertson offered him a lifeline there but not to be for fergal, loses 2-4. Shame, had chance to go 3-2 the previous frame but just came up short. Still tight for the card, second on one year list which is his most likely route but a few behind him are still in the turkey event and he's not, so that could inflict damage. Gonna come down to the world's as usually does. Can't see how a wild card would be in the offing, quite frankly.

Strumms · 02-03-2022 11:59pm

Poor shot selection from Si, there was a not too hard safety clipping the outside of a red by the middle pocket getting back to baulk

03-03-2022 3:29pm

Cracking pot on last red : "one of the pots of the week, no question about it" by Ron there, and he gets in to win frame 5. 3-2 up the Rocket against Ding.

The Nal · 03-03-2022 5:21pm

Do bookies even take bets on Ronnie beating Ding?

Ding has beaten him twice in the last 10 years. Lost 15.

eric hoone · 04-03-2022 12:30am

Walden played well to turn over Ronnie this evening. Wonder will Ronnie do a shift for eurosport in the studio tomorrow?

Was in the studio the other night after he won that day

Rothko · 04-03-2022 4:26pm

It'd be great if Lisowski went on to win this tournament.

Rothko · 04-03-2022 7:08pm

I wonder if that missed red will come back to haunt Trump.

Rothko · 04-03-2022 7:38pm

Apparently not. He gets over the line.

04-03-2022 8:10pm

Am siding with the fav Ricky Walden here... a bridge too far for the resurgent 'Gentleman' methinks,, aint seen Joe playing at all this week tho,,

04-03-2022 8:40pm

Ricky were on fire in frame 2,, a big break to tie match at one apiece,,

he's nicely in here too, early on in frame 3

04-03-2022 9:02pm

JP on top here,, looking good to go 3-1 up atm,, both these on top of their games tbf

edit: Joe misses a black,, not a lot for RW to go at tho,,,

04-03-2022 10:21pm

2 centuries and two frames was the best Ricky could muster,, Joe will give anyone a game the way he's playing... I'm gonna chuck a score on him to beat Jackpot tomorrow 😃

Rothko · 04-03-2022 11:00pm

Pity, I was hoping that Ricky would win.

05-03-2022 2:30pm

Vafaei means business here,,, Gwan Hussein!

waynescales1 · 05-03-2022 10:59pm

Jimmy in a three piece and O’Sullivan in a pair of runners and t-shirt.

Good contest between Lisowski and Perry.

Rothko · 06-03-2022 6:52pm

Don't think many people would have predicted it to be 4-4 after the first session.

Arthur Daley · 06-03-2022 10:07pm

Forgot that Iulian Boiko is from Ukraine. Born in Kyiv in 2005. Only 16 on the tour at this time. No doubt the snooker family look after the lad.

Arthur Daley · 06-03-2022 10:10pm

8-5 Perry. Trump needing all 4 to win.

Brian? · 06-03-2022 10:12pm

Delighted for Joe. Really hope he closes this out early.

eric hoone · 06-03-2022 10:13pm

Perry has played well, especially potting from distance.

Snake Plisken · 06-03-2022 10:31pm

Delighted for Joe, great to see him win

waynescales1 · 06-03-2022 10:37pm

Gentleman Joe!

Same as that. I had written him off. I still think he's past it and suspect this is a flash in the pan, but can't take away his performance this week. Delighted for him.

I think Hossein Vafaei has taken his place as in my mind as an outsider who I'd really support. He's good to watch too.

The Nal · 07-03-2022 10:23am

The Perry era has begun

Strumms · 07-03-2022 6:20pm

Scrappy as fück start to Higgins vs Emery, must have been 10 minutes of play if not more before a ball was potted…

incidentally that red / orange carpet… tanning my eyeballs..

The Nal · 09-03-2022 12:24pm

The Milkman always delivers!

kirk. · 10-03-2022 12:44am

Jaysus how many final frame 147s has Ronnie made, it's ridiculous

Never get tired watching the 5m break but he's got some amazing other maximums

Arthur Daley · 14-03-2022 9:54pm

So Trump's win in Turkey gets him into the top 8 on the 1 year list and the Cazoo Tour Championship.

A good break ahead of a very busy time ahead with the Tour Championship, World Qualifiers, and the World Championship.

With the Gibraltar Open on Thursday 24th - Saturday 26th, you could, if you are so inclined, go from 24th March to Bank Holiday Monday 2nd May with only three days Snooker free. And the Last 32 draw for Sheffield is on one of those days.

So, getting the head down, ahead of a busy time ahead.

Potential nice twist to this story - 2 weeks later in Gibraltar he is 3-0 up on Kyren Wilson (best of 7 final) to win his first ranking event at the age of 46. Eurosport 2.

Arthur Daley · 27-03-2022 1:12am

Another different winner. It really is opening up for players to have their day in the sun. Literally in the case of Gibraltar.

Another hit for Kyren Wilson is that he misses out on the tour championship because he lost that final. Higgins holds 8th place and will play Zhou on Monday.

Higgins also took 150 grand for the Bet Victor series. Mark Allen just needed a grand more and he'd have it. He'd regret not winning a match or two more in the Shootout.

150 grand is a nice little tickle. And shows that all tournaments can matter in their own way. Players have to be a little bit careful now about skipping over too many matches and events.

I am absolutely DELIGHTED for Robert Milkins, getting his first tour win at 46 years of age. When he's on his game he's very entertaining to watch, scores really heavily at break neck speed. Seems a really humble guy as well, fair play to him.

The Nal · 28-03-2022 9:43am

Thats mental

ArmaniJeanss · 28-03-2022 9:59am

Tour Championship Finals on ITV4 this week. Just one game a day, but long format best of 19.

I think it's Xintong v Higgins today, Robertson v Allen tomorrow, Ronnie v Williams Wednesday, Trump v Brecel Thursday.

Semi's Friday and Saturday (Robertson/Allen v Ronnie/Williams is the bracket).

Rothko · 28-03-2022 11:45pm

That defeat will hurt Zhao. I have to say made so questionable shot choices over the course of the match though.

Arthur Daley · 29-03-2022 6:11am

This format gives some prep for the Crucible for these top 8. Every match is like a final, two sessions, proper length matches.

Arthur Daley · 30-03-2022 11:02pm

A classic this Ronnie v Willo 9-9. No going to bed with this one.

Brian? · 30-03-2022 11:09pm

I just went to bed. I’ll see the result tomorrow

Loved it, my two favourite players. This tournament is right up there with Masters and WC, three epic matches so far this week and no doubt four more to come.

Glenman · 31-03-2022 10:19am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118845651#Comment_118845651

Why is Selby not in this tournament?

ArmaniJeanss · 31-03-2022 10:31am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118859982#Comment_118859982

They don't count his WC win. It's the Top 8 on tournaments since then (i.e. this season).

This was the list, he is down in 24th.

1 Year Ranking List - World Snooker (wst.tv)

The Nal · 31-03-2022 11:12am

So Ronnie is going to be world number 1 going into Sheffield?

Arthur Daley · 31-03-2022 5:28pm

It would seem so. Unless Trump wins it maybe.

Ronnie didn't qualify for this in 2020, which was played in June 2020 and was one of the first sporting events to open back up.

So when that money falls off the 2 year list we will see some upheaval.

Stephen Maguire won the 150 grand in 2020, I was wondering what kept him so high up the rankings. So he will drop like a stone when new rankings are out next week.

Arthur Daley · 31-03-2022 5:37pm

Just checked, Maguire is World number 16 today, but he will drop into the 40s on Monday it seems. He has to qualify for Sheffield anyway.

31-03-2022 6:19pm

The winner of the ronnie and robertson match tomorrow surely goes on to lift the trophy ?

eric hoone · 31-03-2022 8:24pm

Trump very unreliable today

Sandor Clegane · 31-03-2022 8:42pm

So so poor from Brecel there, he threw that away...still 8-4 to him but you don't want to be giving players like Judd hope, he had Judd in all sorts of trouble there, 9-3 no way back for Judd but now...stranger things have happened in snooker.

eric hoone · 31-03-2022 9:23pm

Trump shouldn't have taken that yellow on
