ronnie or ebdon will win

i do play snooker , if you fancy a few frames one night give me a shout im always up for it

Very difficult to look past those two now.

Marco Fu has had an interesting event, two fouls he has played that the ref hasn't noticed and he didn't admit to.

Would be a lively final between Ebdon and Ronnie, considering their past meetings and their love, hate relationship!

More mind games to come!!

I will give you a few frames Pots. Drop me a PM and let me know where you play and when you are available.

i believe the word attempt might have been more appropriate here shaun

have you recovered mentally from the 18-2 drubbing i unleashed on you yet?

we shall have to have another game soon as im starting to cue a little sweeter again breaks of 43, 48, 65 and 74 when i played last week

still cant fall over the line for that bloody century though!

id like to see fu win but its more likely to be that arrogant prick ronnie!

I will give you a few games Jimmy.

I seem to recall me being 1-0 up on our matches

To be honest if Ronnie is going to play as much pool as is rumoured next year, then this could be his last serious attempt at the title.

have we played before?

sure id love to give you a game sometime. when are you available? i am most of the time

We have only played once, and that was only 1 frame!! I was playing for Wantage Comrades in the cup against you last year. (Tim's team).

I will PM you my mobile number mate. I haven't played for a while and haven't got a snooker cue now (my pool cue has 8.5mm tip so might be a bit small).

I can do some afternoons in the week if you like.

If Edon gets there I just hope he plays a little quicker than he has up till now - don't think I could take a final at 3am on Tuesday morning !

Hong Kong Fuey - outsider but have to say Ronnie has to be favourite now after beating Williams.

Don't bother watching Ebdon on interactive, it's like watching paint dry. About half the audience (dozen or so) had fallen asleep during yesterdays afternoon session

the bloke's a tedious (unt!

Ronnie all the way, without a shadow

Yesterday's session was dreadful, but todays was much better! Any of the quarter-finalists could still win that, Ronnie is not playing as well as two or three years ago, but of course remains favourite. Gonna miss watching this afternoon and evening though as at work.

if i can remember, the last time we played jimmy boy at colours i stuffed you anyone can get high breaks playing on their own ,im going to colours tomorrow night if you fancy a game or anyone else, isty and nathan will be there for a bit of practice

It was interesting that Ronnie decided to pick his tip off half way through a session!!

Turned out alright with a century break straight after it!!

Might of been some mind games going on there. I guess if his head is screwed up, he might as well try and mess up Dott's too!!

Dott seems to be a right prick.

I have never seen someone so happy to make a match 8-8!!

LOL annoying little farker ain't he?

he's getting better tho, at least he's scoring more than he was a couple of seasons ago when he won the Scottish Open (ranking event) with a high break of 77 through-out the whole competition, WTF!!

Hmm should just about be ok, if I rest my left hand tonight after nearly breaking a few bones earlier this week....

i never record breaks playin on my own, you can make back to back centurys with your eyes shut doing line outs etc.

i dont mean to sound big headed but for someone who is pretty much entirely self taught, i think knocking in 50s, 60s, 70s and the occasional 80+ regularly is quite an achievement

Well the final delivered exactly what on paper it looked like being.

Two of the slowest and most tactical players around head to head. What idiot thought they would get 8 frames in less than 3 hours in the afternoon sessions, they bearly managed 6 !

I did not watch Sunday night but I must say last nights session was well worth seeing apart from the frame that started at 10pm and finished after 11pm. Longest Final finishing just after 1am ! Ebdon decided to swing the cue at Dott and it appeared to be working, the final would have been so much better if he did that from the start.

Fair play to Dott though he tried to stiffle Ebdons comeback by dragging a game out for over an hour - but failed. Ebdon is not my favourite player but must say I wanted him to win this time.
