    Nah. He has been ok, but from what I have seen O Sullivan has been very poor. Going to be beaten if he cant snap out of it. Was blessed to be 10-6 up coming in today.

    No he's not. Peak Hendry was better than peak O'Sullivan. Hendry was a machine and made of granite. Unfortunately he lost his game for whatever reason, yips, burnout, psychological(his cue he had since forever getting destroyed didn't help).

    O'Sullivan is gone. Can't pott a ball, can't play a safety. Can't quite believe how poor he's been this afternoon.

    Ronnies been abysmal. Four really good chances and blew them all.

    This is unwatchable, O’Sullivan is so bad. Nothing worse than a disinterested O’Sullivan.


    Brecel playing good stuff for the most part to be fair.

    I can’t believe people still try to argue this.


    I’m not in the mood to have the argument again.

    So Ronnie is ‘zapped’ basically? I thought that only happened John Higgins of the big guns.

    I don’t know what it is with him. Complete lack of focus again. He’s done for this year.


    Maybe Vafaei was right. He should retire

    Brecel is a joy to watch.

    Ronnie looks like he's checked out already.

    He said he hasnt been running because of this virus. Hes been painting instead.

    He looks like crap. Blotchy red face and sunken eyes.

    "For some reason he's(O'Sullivan) not potting the balls" says John Virgo. The reason is he's not all that.

    Luca just has to hold himself together and he's through. This is an excellent chance. Uncharted waters for him, hopefully nerves don't get the better of him.

    Ah well it's never the same without Ronnie if he goes

    Luca v SI would be interesting

    To paraphrase Hendry Brecel has been ‘ridiculous’ in this frame in a good way.

    -

    I don’t know what to make of it. I think McGill/Si can have the better of Luca. Si v Brecel would be particularly interesting.

    Well done Luca. I can enjoy tournament from here on. The scoreline flattered O'Sullivan.

    Ronnie's not done if he wants more

    He'll be back just needs more psychology

    His game isn't the issue

    savage stuff 🙂

    still think he falls short overall, but he'll savour today for sure ☺️

    Certainly see the winner coming from the Table 2 side now.

    Allen v Higgins or Selby.

    Luca won't have the safety game for those boys. And can't see McGill or Si keeping the highest quality up all the way to a conclusion on Monday night.

    You would want to have a few crates of Milkins Cider to think that.

    I was on about nothing memorable so far yesterday. But that Brecel win is one that will be talked about for years. Brecel to take off or the end of Ronnie?

    Brecel should be one of the favourites(if not the favourite) after that session. 7 frames in a row. Ronnie making tired faces towards the end. 🙄 Didn't make a break over 30. Wasn't allowed to.

    Waiting for the "Ronnies finished" crowd to hit the thread in 1, 2, 3.....

    Mad that only 4 players have defended it in the modern era. And 2 of those were Davis and Hendry winning a few in a row. Hendry won 5 in a row lets not forget. Ridiculous.

    I think Brecel is too hit and miss ? Zero match play. Even Si has more matchplay in him than Brecel I think.

    Higgins has lost 6 frames in a row on the other table, I thought he wasn’t planning on tiring until the evening session?

    Selby has broken him.


    In a few days time Selby will be world champion and world number 1 again. It’s the stuff of (my) nightmares

    Huge comedown from watching the brilliant snooker on the other table to Slowby torturing us with this rubbish.

    With Ronnie out, hopefully Luca or Si can do it
