Redcafe Snooker

[Redlambs]

what was this all about ?

There was a mid-break interview with Ronnie where he just says the ref thought he saw a gesture and wouldn't have it that he was wrong.

At one point later, he also falsely calls a miss and even the commentators say he's seeming a bit off.

I don't know if it was the earlier issue with the ball placement that rattled him or he's just nervous in the big final, but he's had a bit of a mare.

Thanks.

Still 3 hours to go! Taking forever

I feel sorry for anyone that gets seated anywhere near the “Come on Ronnie” morons.
Save it for the boxing for Fecks sake!

Agreed.

And if your phone goes off, you should be ejected.

Ronnie doesn’t do boxing

 

[Redlambs]

Ronnie doesn’t do boxing

He would only bitch about getting punched in the face and having to do 12 rounds.

 

[Bondi77]

Ronnie doesn’t do boxing

That referee might push him to give it a go

 

[Redlambs]

"Don't start!"

Hendry showing plenty of class talking about Ronnie there.

 

[Pexbo]

This is a nice looking table…

EDIT - was

I imagine the tour is quite tight knit

 

[Wilt]

Ronnie and the ref fecking hate each other

 

[Pexbo]

The passive aggression between this ref and Ronnie is hilarious.

 

[SirAnderson]

Almost some deja vu

 

[Ainu]

I don't think this ref is having a lot of fun in this final.

 

[SirAnderson]

Final needed that, great work from Judd.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

I don't think this ref is having a lot of fun in this final.

He does seem a bit full of himself, normally the ref is just seen doing his job and not drawing attention to himself.

 

[Dumbstar]

Sounds like me when I can hear the kids crying in the other room.

Quite normal according to the doctor, he’s getting to that age.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

that was a poor miss by Ronnie

 

[Redlambs]

This is what the final needed.

Fair play to Judd, he looks a different player today. He's playing with no pressure and Ronnie's looking a bit complacent. It's still an almost impossible task but at least he's giving it a go.

It’s far from impossible

 

[fergosaurus]

It’s far from impossible

It would take a huge drop off in form from Ronnie and Judd would have to keep playing out of his skin. Not impossible but very unlikely Ronnie's going to blow this.

 

[Deery]

Judd winning the next frame would be interesting, Ronnie not as confident looking today but could easily knock in a century next frame.

 

[Zen]

It’s far from impossible

It'd probably be the greatest comeback in snooker history, this is not Ronnie or Hendry doing it to well, any other Snooker player ever, it's someone doing it to them. People matched Ronnie at 1/25 on Betfair last night. It's testament to Judd's talent that it wasn't 1/100.

I honestly haven't seen amazing snooker from Ronnie. Hes potted what he should be potting. Trump in form can reel off a bunch of frames against anyone, it wouldn't take Ronnie dropping off, just Judd stepping up.

what about the Davies v Taylor Black ball Final in 1985 Taylor was 8-0 at one stage, won 6 out of the last 8 frames

Disagree. He's been playing great snooker the entire tournament. Just pulled off an outrageous pot as I'm typing this.

 

[Gringo]

Yeah that pot was exceptional

 

[Ayush_reddevil]

What a brilliant clearance by Ronnie. Ridiculous decision by Judd to go for the plant

 

[pauldyson1uk]

huge frame for Ronnie , he needed it.

 

[Zen]

Sure why not.... but Ronnie was/is 6 away, Davis was 9 away at 9-1.

I think Judd's done well here, can't dwell on this frame, winning each session 3-1 would of been the plan, yeah could of been 4-0 here, but it could of also been absolutely done. He's got himself somewhat in it.

 

[SirAnderson]

Doing nothing all day, just waiting for the snooker to start...

Snooker starts...wife: "I need you to come with me to the shops please."
Feck...

Just got back now only and missed 3 frames!

 

[pauldyson1uk]

dear oh dear that was poor on the black Judd

 

[0le]

It already feels like squeaky bum time.

 

[SirAnderson]

Love Ronnie and root for him every time he plays, but those in the crowd that keep taking every opportunity to shout are an irritating bunch.

 

[Sweet Square]

Trump needs this frame. Lose this and pretty much all the progress from the today’s first session is gone.

He's in with a chance now. Hopefully he takes it.

 

[Drawfull]

Feck I've just realised I'm not live and am sitting through the mid-session interval. Fecking idiot.
