First topic message reminder :

Who's your favourite for this years title ?

One of the seeds ? Or will it be a qualifier ?


We're almost down to the last 4, so let us know who you think will finally clinch it.

Robbo's conviction in his pos. play has been poor today, you get the feeling his energy is waning when Ronnie starts playing well. He needs to find some of Selby's mentality when playing Mr Bean.

what's the score now?

I've got a lot of admiration for Ronnie, but he's never been a favourite of mine. I really like Robertson though, so am keeping my fingers crossed for him!

Aside from Neil Robertson, name the other Australian to have won the World Championship.

Eddie Charlton.

are lemmings modier than elephants?

What is the moodiest animal?, also cats can be moody!

Charlton is wrong.

O'Sullivan leads 7-5 at mo at mid-session interval.

cheers

That's a bit of a turnaround!

I see Ronnie fans have their phones out. How sporting....NOT.

Typical. Ban the lot of them.

It's all going to pot for Neil now. Ronnie has one foot in the quarters.

Well it won't be Robertson the way he's playing...

Needs to somehow finish session with 7-9 deficit. Any worse and he has tiny chances.. :/

Jaysus, Ronnie must have come out on fire

Robbo is shell shocked.

Jaysus, Ronnie must have come out on fire

Neil struggling to make breaks has been the main reason last few frames...

Plus Robbo has not been at the races and when left chances they've only been half chances.

That may be the case but when Ronnie gets a sniff and gets his tail up, he is hard to stop.

It would have been a different story had this continued last night after Robbo stole the last frame

Aussie's safety game is not good enough against Ronnie.. does seem under prepared for this match. :\

Ronnie doesnt look like missing

He doesn't want to go 9-5 down if he has any hopes of getting past Ronnie... :\

Stop the rot please Neil.. don't be a wimp like Williams did. :\

Ronnie's safety game isn't much better may I add.

Big chance for Robbo to stop the rot.

Virgo needs to get his head out of Ronnie's backside though. Maybe that's why he constantly looks diagonally up to the right?

Big chance for Robbo to stop the rot.

Not with the black where it is.

Robbo may have to deploy the 'cough' tactic if this keeps up

Fluff

Missed it...

Robbo is Williams in disguise. :\

Just got back in , see Ronnie has started well .

Great a snooker thread reached 1000 odd posts , enjoy reading the banter keep it up

lol It's like watching old footage of Stephen Hendry. There's always a plant or a little gap that the cue ball can sneak through.

Just hasn't been competitive this session.. letting Ronnie walk all over him. :\

What on Earth is Robbo doing? This is poor stuff from him and its almost as if Robbo has no clue.

He's having the bad session everyone has during the WC. Ronnie is yet to have his.

This match, I just can't see past Ro.

How to win a match in one session. Have to applaud Ronnie for this

Come on, get the cough out!!

Yep, its time for the cough

Robbo needs these last two frames now or I can see no way back for him. He has been all over the place today.

Think we can call this a finished article. Robbo is not able to play today. Congrats Ronnie and his fans.

Yes Robbo get the cough out whilst Ronnie's fans get their phones out.

It just takes one frame to stop the rot and bring the confidence back.

Cracking pot by Robbo

I think that should be looked into. Obvious the fanboys were trying to put Robbo off.

Yes Robbo get the cough out whilst Ronnie's fans get their phones out.

Neil has shown nothing this afternoon.. we can hardly blame this scoreline on Ronnie's crew'. :\

There's the cough!!!!

Not saying it is to blame but it is in damned bad taste and not on in my book. Robbo is toiling enough without having unsporting fans making it even tougher and it does Ronnie no favours either in my opinion.

If it is deliberate.. karma will soon catch up with them.

Come on Robbo

The other Australian world champion was Horace Lindrum

Life's difficult for him now. Loving the Peter Ebdon-esque play he's got just now.

Well done Kenny. Have some

He is making hard work of this but if he gets it then his confidence will return
