Ronnie played great the other day and in the arena it was brilliant.
Also the next day Hawkins started so well , a 132 and was 5 2 up but lost the plot and couldn't close it out. The crowd were right behind him and playing as he did at the start I would give a chance against ronnie today, Walden won't have much of one though.
Great quarter finals, three 6 - 5 and a 6 - 4 turnaround with five in a row for Murphy. I,m from sale in Manchester so it was great cheering him on.
Last night though was the best yet, almost midnight finish 5 all 69 all blue,pink and black left. At this point Selby had made several brave and great shots/pots but the double on the blue took some balls. We were off our seats cheering, and then he took the pink which was hard as well. Great comeback and what a good player when not grinding it out. I was first up to say well done and managed to get a signature.
Got him, Murphy, Robertson and a photo with him and by a mad chain of events meet ronnie on the way out late the other day. He was surround by guards who waved me away but he told me come over. He signed for me and I told him that if he meets Selby in the final I hope turns him over big time and he laughed at that. No picture sadly as just the guards were there and they looked mean enough.
Final day today sadly but can't wait to see ronnie again and Neil tonight, next year I am going to watch it all. The arena is great and more feeling than others I've been to before. Also great value for money, early matches are a fiver and if was buy one get one half price in the first week. Only gets pricey from today really but not as bad as the crucible. |
