Knocked in a 141, very nice break.

He must have nightmares still about that black he missed for the 147, years ago!

Remember that. I was sick, can't imagine how he felt.

Get in! Absolutely made up after that.

Spectacular comeback and never say die attitude. Go and win it now Ken.
So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

Cracking tournament this year. Selby v Doherty semi was match of the tournament for me.

I hope Selbys stuff that lump of lard Lee in the final. Cant stand the chunky bastard.

Hes excellent. Cant help but admire his bottle aswell.

Really hope he can do it tonight.

7-3. Got it in the bag now for me has Selby... looks very focused and \Lee looks a tad upset. Needs a bit of luck... crucial frame this now of course.

Have not got a clue, I'd imagine he'd be near enough favourite. Fancied him for this one once Ronnie went out. Didn't have the sense to back him though. Typical.

Wont be near favourite. If O'Sullivan had only one arm the bookies would still have him favourite at around 3 or 4/1. Which is a joke, but its the same every tournament.
So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

Can't see him being in the top 3 faves to be honest, think that'l be Higgins, Ronnie and someone else, either Hendry or Doherty. I hope Williams gets it, he's my fave player and has dipped over the past few years :(

Hendry and Doherty will be long odds. Three favourites will be Ronnie,Ding and Higgins IMO. Selby wont be far behind.

If you layed the Rocket for every tournament hes been favourite in you would be a very rich man.

He'll be shorter odds than ding i reckon.

I think Ding will be shorter. He shouldnt be but purely by name he will be.

Not at all. A 3/1 favourite for every tournament and sometimes as short as 2/1. If you bet 50 on him every tournament you would be losing money big time.

Eh? I'm confused. Lay means to back i thought?

But anyway, it says everything about Ronnie's mental strength.
