Well, Ronnie beat Ding (whom he lost to a couple of years ago?) Williams is a three time champion who might have won another couple if he didn't go off the rails after his second win.

Ronnie vs Ding was the highest quality match so far. Not saying Ronnie should be expected to breeze past Williams, but he lacks consistency, and has done so for years now.

In a two-day match you hope things will turn up but it looks like Ronnie is also done.

Trump has closed to 11-9 as we go into the final session. Hate both but Trump is worse, so come on Wilson.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 14:32 (four years ago) link
Ronnie made two visits for two frames but Williams looks good at the last here. Fluke from Williams helped but still..
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 14:33 (four years ago) link
Ronnie is working really hard here, closing the gap to two with two left.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 15:27 (four years ago) link
Wilson strangling the life out of this match with some hard as nails matchplay snooker. Please finish this cunt off.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 15:28 (four years ago) link
Get fucked Trump, yes!
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 15:33 (four years ago) link
Very pleasing to see Trump get fucked. Now, could there be a real Ronnie comeback on?
― Monte Scampino (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 11 August 2020 15:38 (four years ago) link
Ronnie within one, one to go. Can't wait for tonight.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 15:38 (four years ago) link
i do not love trump at all but what is the specific beef again
― imago, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 15:39 (four years ago) link
For me, it's not beef. He's just spectacularly boring.
― Monte Scampino (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 11 August 2020 15:40 (four years ago) link
Wouldn't like to see him stabbed though.
― Monte Scampino (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 11 August 2020 15:41 (four years ago) link
lol at this progression
Trump is great. People mentioned Jimmy White because of some of the huge cue power (and exuberance by putting it on show often) and I'd agree.― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 30 April 2011 19:24 (nine years ago) bookmarkflaglink

Glad Trump is out - the hype around him when he first 'broke through' was embarrassing.― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 1 May 2014 09:22 (six years ago) bookmarkflaglink

there then followed something of a begrudging gesture towards support last year when 'anyone but Higgins' had to trump 'anyone but Trump'

You are reaching from those posts, it's pretty much negative all the way through lol

Ronnie makes it 8-8 I see on the live score ticker? Sweet, looking forward to tonight.
― Monte Scampino (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 11 August 2020 15:50 (four years ago) link
8-8 after a nervous frame from both.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 15:50 (four years ago) link
lockdown and covid makes this feel like a selby year ngl

Ronnie a tad unlucky but Williams took his chance well
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 18:23 (four years ago) link
Fucking fucked at the next. Loads of easy missed chances but Ronnie wins out
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 18:35 (four years ago) link
What a costly miss by Ronnie..
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 18:50 (four years ago) link
Ronnie recovered well for a century break. All square.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 19:06 (four years ago) link
Ronnie is ahead...just terrific safety after a 60 break to get another chance
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 19:38 (four years ago) link
How far behind was Ronnie this afternoon? Looks comfortable now.
― Eyeball Kicks, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 19:39 (four years ago) link
Maybe not.

Fuck me this frame
haha what
I turned it off after he put the green in, thinking that's that

See Selby has yet to make a century and while he can do a lot with his tactical game he'll also need to score heavy if Ronnie is on his game.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 21:18 (four years ago) link
Selby can't get going rn.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 12 August 2020 18:54 (four years ago) link
I missed most of the first two frames. Commentators are talking about the number of kicks. Selby got a nasty one just now
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 12 August 2020 18:58 (four years ago) link
Ronnie gets one too..it might need looking at.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 12 August 2020 19:01 (four years ago) link
Kick after kick after kick. Selby esp looks nervous though, even before those
― Monte Scampino (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 12 August 2020 19:04 (four years ago) link
Yup. Ronnie has been frustrated too but has managed more of a rhythm. 3-1
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 12 August 2020 19:26 (four years ago) link
That's the story. Selby had some really bad misses without a kick, too. He looks really on edge.
― Monte Scampino (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 12 August 2020 19:28 (four years ago) link
4-1. Selby missed a green off the spot, Ronnie made two 50+ breaks. A dangerous moment here.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 12 August 2020 19:57 (four years ago) link
Selby played one good frame, the last one, yet is only two down.
― Monte Scampino (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 12 August 2020 21:20 (four years ago) link
Good to see Wilson got his mojo back
― Monte Scampino (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 13 August 2020 11:46 (four years ago) link
I think Selby got into the match in the penultimate frame last night. That was also good but yes he should've been 6-2 down.
