Must say, wasn't expecting Stuart to get back ahead. Ronnie not pulling away like I expected.


I agree Skull, Ronnie somehow doesn't look as inspired and up for the battle as he did against Ding and Robbo.

I still expect him to come out better after the MSI, but I'm starting to believe if Ronnie's isn't careful Bingo can really win this match. :chin:

Hope so, definately needs a couple of 60 or 70 plus breaks to settle himself down and have confidence.

If the match goes on with frames going scrappy like this, even knowing how good Ronnie's safety game is, I fancy Bingo's chances.

Hugely important frame after the MSI.

Correct.

Bingham also needs a couple of chances every frame but Ronnie just isn't pounding on his chances like he usually does.

We all know Ronnie's favourite, but you guys are acting like it's some disgrace that Bing's even turned up. He's a ranking event winner, not some pleb.


I know I'm not, Bingo can of course win this, and I'm starting to believe he will. :chin:

I don't think binghams a mug and I think he's hitting the form of his career but this will be a major upset if he wins.

I always think that a ranker is a bigger win than an invitation event. But then I guess, it's subjective. The Masters isn't ranking, and that's a bigger win than some of the smaller ranking events. I guess it just depends how you look at it.

To be fair, I was saying the same thing at The Crucible final. I was giving Barry Hawkins no chance against Ronnie. So I'm not one to talk. He too, is a very good player.

Do people agree with that?


<doh>

of course

this is a far bigger event than that was

just cos it aint a ranker doesn't mean its devalued
