Ronnie v Ali head to head …..Ronnie 17-1
Well timed!Even with Ali playing as well as he is, you still expect Ronnie just to suddenly flick the switch and rattle of 3 or 4 frames in quick succession. Having never been so close to a major win, it might weigh on him a bit as well in the later stages.
You just expect it from Ronnie. This afternoons session was by his standards poor but already tonight you can see he is focused, he is playing the right shots at the right time and he is playing the occasion/table rather than his opponent. The mistakes from Ali are alarming in the sense that they are mistakes that in a final you just can’t afford to make, whilst he is still well within a shout of winning this.. you expect Ronnie to come out after the midsession break and put another 2 or 3 frames on the board and take the match away from him.Well timed!
Since my post he has toned it down to be fair and playing it safer.You can clearly see he wants to get this over quickly. It isn't not caring, he is just attacking everything and that should be relished as it won't be happening for a long time again.
One player on the top of their game, one who is in the mood to just hit anything.
Been such a good final so far because of that. I'm kind of rooting for Ali though, he deserves a major.
That's why he's the best of all time. Can literally do it all.Since my post he has toned it down to be fair and playing it safer.
When Ronnie's concentrated and doesn't play ultra aggressive no one beats him.
It was a fantastic percentage shot though, you get the ball back into the position he did and you could probably say you’re actually unlucky if you leave a pot on.Carter took advantage of that massive slice of luck from his smash and hope earlier
He has a foot injury so has been given permission.Is Ronnie allowed to wear trainers at these events? Thought it was smart shoes only

Absolute morons.This crowd is fecking shite.
They are trying to make it more like the darts it seems.Weird how snooker players have to have complete silence during their shots, whereas darts players….
This lot are far bigger arseholes than darts fans ….darts fans seem a friendly lotThey are trying to make it more like the darts it seems.
Apart from the young kids battering the old guard. That's what snooker could really do with.They are trying to make it more like the darts it seems.

YepI meant in terms of the rowdy nature.
I love a good darts crowd! But that's not and never should be a snooker thing.
Very much agreed.Apart from the young kids battering the old guard. That's what snooker could really do with.
The ref is telling them to shut up all the time, I don’t think it’s an encouraged cultural shift.I meant in terms of the rowdy nature.

Like I say, the commentary have mentioned them after mostly every frame so far. Just have again as I type this.The ref is telling them to shut up all the time, I don’t think it’s an encouraged cultural shift.
