No, try being a Selby fan.

Of course not, Ronnie could still reduce to 5-3.
You all need to relax a bit more, no alarm bells yet, you are spoiled that Ronnie has been so many times ahead in matches.
Results like this can happen and a bad session at the Crucible too.

How could he have been good at that when he has barely been behind these last years?
He didn't play brilliantly all time you know. The World Championship is the art of consistency and that means winning enough frames in bad sessions.

Indeed. For Ronnie to be out of this match at the end of the session you feel Joe really does need to have a 7-1 lead almost. Even at 6-2 behind Ronnie would still fancy his chances at getting back to 8-8 tomorrow or at worst 9-7 behind going into Saturday.
Best thing Joe can do now is to try and put his foot down like he did against Williams ten years ago. Don't try and consolidate the lead. Play the last three frames separately.

Agree, Ronnie too has the right to have a bad session.
Some just expect him knock ton after ton

Ronnie closes to 4-2.
I don't think Perry will be able to build a lead now. Will be 5-3 at best, likely 4-4.

Yeah, even 5-3 down will be good considering the start he had.
4 all will be a massive bonus.

this is the danger of Ronnie same with hendry they can make centuries when they not in form and puts pressure on players despite having a lead

This should kick start Ronnie. 4-4 the goal now obviously but 5-3 is also OK.

The Eurosport commentators say that Ronnie doesn't complain about conditions. He complains about everything else.

I don't see how he's going to win. He's not on the money. If he doesn't get going early, he usually loses.

I hate all this jinxing talk. What people say on a website means nothing to what happens in a match.

Nothing compared to the Hurricane. If he wasn't happy, he'd punch the ref.
