4 all between Ronnie and Hawkins at the end of the first session. Hawkins was 3-0 up. 

Big last frame for Barry that. I'd love him to get to the final. 

[Bjornebye]

Good session for the Hawk. 7:5 up. 

[bigthrusts]

Hawkins cruising at 9-6. Decider coming up. 

[Stickman]

O’Sullivan wins 10-9 ..

For somebody who at times who makes out they don’t give a shite about snooker Ronnie gives a good impression of the exact opposite .
Be hard pressed to find a more competitive genius 

 

[Bjornebye]

He's just unreal but... I have said it before I think he lets opponents have a leg up to give him a challenge. Maybe he took that too far but once he stole that 9-6/7 only one winner. 

[Bjornebye]

See, he's scratching his face he's a liar. He could beat anyone if he wanted. Only Higgins is when he plays without pure confidence.

5 -10 years ago O’Sullivan was a much better player to watch and could blow somebody away in a session now he doesn’t do that but he seems to win games more gritty and tough wise if you like........With also being able to throw in the old Ronnie when suits ..To me it makes him the best ever as unlike Hendry he’s adapted his game

If you fancy a game at home just make your own table...provided you have a queue and a set of balls lying around:

Brilliant session that.

Stephen Hendry has been drawn to face none other than Jimmy White in the First Round of the World Championship qualifiers!

 

 

It’s live on Eurosport tomorrow night at 7:30. 

[Captain Turdseye]

I reckon I could give Hendry a game.

Fuck sake forgot this was on tonight. In bed now about to watch a film. Wounded

Dot Cotton is 1-0 up mate. 
 

Re-rack in the second frame. It’s not great to be honest. 

[Captain Turdseye]

I’ve put a fiver on Hendry to get a break of 120+. 
 

Couldn’t have picked the balls up and placed them any better than where they are now...

[Captain Turdseye]

37. End of break. Close.

He got a century in his comeback when he lost. He’s obviously still got it 

[Captain Turdseye]

Best of 11. This could be a long night. 

[Captain Turdseye]

When do the Worlds start? Not sure this match will finish in time. There was a point there were baulk colours were going safe and you were thinking they could be significant even though there were 12 reds out in the open. 

[bigthrusts]

Crucible planning on having full capacity for the final. A third full before that.
