Pretty sure Hendry got one against him, maybe even in the final frame of a final if memory serves. Let’s go for Numberwang with at 8-8 in the Liverpool Victoria Charity Challenge final.

Is the masters hidden away on iplayer for primetime too? No fucking bbc 3 slot or anything?
Yep.
Ronnie's in his mid-match all at sea phase. Can THE HAWK swoop?
Looks like the answer was no.
All these years and I've only just realised that 'the ace in the pack' refers to his name being trump, which is something you do in cards. I always thought it was a weird thing to call oneself.
Impressive pink by Carter to take it to the deciding frame.
Selby has been distressingly lucky in these first few frames.
Got to love a trick shot though.
I see Ronnie has SLAMMED the venue for being shit.
Immediately WST put out a response saying all other players think it's great. Usually this would indicate Ronnie being a little off the boil, but he seems to have eased into the semis and is giving it the "lol I wasn't even good" again. It's going to be quite shit when he decides enough is enough.
:D
Oof. Hell of a maximum.
I keep thinking Allen's ill whenever he appears on screen which is testament to a hell of a weight loss regime.
This has been amazingly bad. Two shovels of snooker shite.
Ronnie trying to knock everything in may well be his undoing here. He's just lost two frames for it, but far be it from me to tell him how to play.
I do enjoy when he does just not engage the Selbys of the world.
His smash 'em up 'safety' in the first frame set the tone.
You do wonder how it must be to be an Ali Carter here. You know other than your family, no fucker here wants you winning.
Some proper thickos in the crowd tonight.
If Ronnie retired, would that crowd element go with him or would they just back someone else?
I suspect a reasonable portion of the audience is only there for him. You'll always get some good/bad crowds though. They'll get behind a new chosen hero.
“Ally Pally” crowds are always the worst.
That might be the best point John Parrot's ever made while commentating.
:D
This tournament has always been partisan for Ronnie and Jimmy White.
I've been thinking while watching him, if you consider he has a long term edge on the field, how much of that edge is the ability to play with both hands? It makes certain shots hugely easier.
He insists breaking left handed is the way to go too. He's been doing that exclusively for some time now.
What a weird choice of shot having refused playing safe off the bunch the shot before.
Ronnie clearly not at it so far tonight. If he gets ahead that's probably that, but he's struggling.
Isn't this pretty much how he's been all week?
Yep. The waxing lyrical over his performance against Shaun Murphy was serious overstatement. He's basically had the draw of his dreams, playing players with appalling records against him one after the other.Quote:

I was hoping Carter would win it just because he's less likely to use his acceptance speech to talk about how shit he is and how much the room stinks of piss.
:D What a finish to a sentence.Quote:

I'm very surprised one of them hasn't already.
Carter threw in the towel at 7-7 it seems.
Pretty miserable end.
As is his acceptance speech, never seen anyone less arsed at winning something.
He's said as much on Henry's YouTube channel. What he wants is to just turn up and have competitive games with people and win. He doesn't quite like all of the other faff that goes with it.
Must reach a point, like. Prob the same reason Taylor stopped molesting women by the end of his darts reign, too easy.
I can't believe Rob Walker putting the 'where does this rank' question, it very clearly ranks in the bottom handful.
Bit difficult for Steve Davis to answer how hard it was doing the triple crown given the marketing bullshit term didn't exist then.

Ronnie sticking the knife in.
:D
Probably with him on that, Carter always has seemed a bit of a twat. Even his 100k and some ranking points comment the other day was snide as fuck.
Was the dirty animal really snotting on the carpets?
He could shit on the carpets and there'd still be plenty going 'lol what a character though."
Seems an odd thing for an apparent clean freak germophobe type to be doing. The snotting that is, not the shitting, although that would also qualify as odd.
Is that why he does them fist bumps? It’s always a laugh when he does it to the referee in an awkward manner
It is, Covid went to his head.
Carter upping the seethe ante. Not sure it's a great course of action.
It isn't. O'Sullivan is bigger than the sport, so you're never going to win.
I did enjoy the sad cunt during the Masters who everytime Carter went to the table just shouted 'Captain' with an imaginary hat tip.
Carter is a massive right wing cunt, but jeez O'Sullivan is incredibly annoying.
