rocket Ronnie just knocked in a superb 147 to knock out Mark Williams, he looks a get bet for this years title.

Murphy and Higgins out already, Hendry is a threat though.

Go on the Rocket!

Ali Carter also got a 147 tonight & shares the 150k prize with Ronald O'Sullivan.

I wonder if there will be another 147.

I hope Ronnie's not written out that cheque for his new car yet.

To be fair, if Hendry hadn't been so petrified he was about to lose form at any minute, there would be a quite astonishing three way tie for this.

Still doesn't soften the blow of our resident "tipster" telling everyone to back Day. God, that guy's lucky he's in Malta.

I was watching a bit of Maquire match yesterday and the commentator came out with the old classic .. "If he doesn't land on the pink he has a consolation brown" :D :D

 

[sufcintheprem]

Ronnie today has been unstoppable. It must be so demoralising playing against someone who puts so many balls down so quickly.

Of course, he misses a gettable red just as I type that...

 

[Pubey]

it's a shame im back at home this weekend cos there is a massive screen outside the crucible by all the pubs and it looks like it could be really good to watch the final on the big screen

(unless it's hendry v ebdon)

 

[sufcintheprem]

Just smashed a 138 too - he really is in his scintillating, casual, best form.

Liang's not played too badly but has been questionably aggressive at times.

 

[Pubey]

joker!!!....

After claiming his 147 on Monday, O'Sullivan had said: "That money gives me a few options in the summer. I'll be getting a Bentley convertible now - I've been dying to get one!"

And in response to O'Sullivan's comment, Carter joked: "I'm going to buy a Ford Focus convertible, I've been dying to get one!"

How old are you :p

Snooker is double entedre heaven.

Watching the Rocket play Hendry 4-3 to Hendry at the moment, come on Ronnie!

Is Carter a Col Ewe fan - he certainly looks like an in-bred?

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

37 ... going on 9 :doh:

 

[stevie_G_G_G]

Always been a huge fan of Hendry but feel the rocket is in top form and will win this match fairly comfortably unfortunately.

Probably he is from Tiptree.

 

[Pubey]

Probably he is from Tiptree.

probably explains why he is so jammy!

The rocket looks on fire now, took this mornings 8-0 and looks to be in the groove. O'sullivan V Carter in the final i rekon.

you reckon carter will come back? haven't seen too much to suggest it yet, but still a long way to go

 

[Taunton_Shrimper]

I think its a touch of nerves for carter, I think once he relax's -hopefully in this afternoons session he will find the form that has got him this far.

I dont think Perry is the sort of player to run away with a match like the rocket so as long as carter can hang in there he will have a good chance.
