    They don't play the snooker in the swimming pool!

    I said it at the time, they should have converted part of the town hall into a nice small theatre, rather than the museum.

    Ronnie 13 v Ding 10. On that showing he will take some stopping.
    Got to be one of the greatest players ever to pick up a cue.
    Selby now awaits.

    He does, and he just gave another one of his typical interviews. Saying he's not surprised he's still making it so far because most of the young players are terrible :D

    It is williams next yes.

    And I don’t think he’ll have made too many friends after that interview he’s just given the bbc.

    He’s showing classic signs of sexual confusion leading to frustration, and lashing out at the least little thing. It’s like he feels he should be going for the pink, but finds the brown very tempting.

    O’Sullivan is the greatest natural talent that snooker has ever seen and i had the pleasure of watching him at the metrodome a few years ago and couldn’t believe how easy he made the game look unfortunately he doesn’t always do himself favours in interviews after matches.

    Well I was lucky enough to spend half an hour with Ronnie once, and he was an absolute gentleman. The best sports interview I ever got.

    He does say a lot of crackers stuff, but he had a tough upbringing and hasn't done bad for himself. Brilliant sportsman, just very honest rather than giving boring interviews based on tedious media training.

    And he's not wrong about the reason him and Mark Williams etc are still kicking about.

    What a comeback by the Rocket. Beat Williams 13-10. Now plays Selby in the semi.
    Hope Ronnie does it. He's playing like a World Champion.

    Both made a lot of errors in that one, very enjoyable watch. Selby often has the measure of O'Sullivan over the long format and might grind him down. Watching Selby play can be very hard work sometimes.

    He’s a real enigma, few years ago when he was experimenting with pool, I was at a few tournaments he was in and he was very hot and cold. Some days he was just the same as everyone else, mixed, laughed, joked and was very down to earth, other times he was quite, sullen and kept himself very much to himself.
    In defence would imagine it’s all linked to his troubled mindset at the time.

    Ronnie 10 years ago batters Selby. Selby will make him take on shots at distance. He'll break Ronnie's and the viewers resolve, not sure who will break first. I've been known to turn off Selby at the point his name is read out.

    Love Selby. Not great to watch granted, but he plays the way I used to.
    I was never the most talented but was a very good match player.
