    Is it just me or has this been one of the poorest World Snooker tournaments in recent years ?

    I think it seems that way because a lot of the top players have gone out early. I mean who wants to sit and watch 25 frames worth of Stuart Bingham v Mark Davis or Robert Milkins v Ricky Walden? No me that's for sure.

    If Ronnie O'Sullivan gets knocked out then this year's final could have some of the lowest viewing figures ever I reckon.

    Its been shocking this season, dont know when they started it but playing a bit of music for 30 seconds when they walk out doesnt do anything to liven it up, they need livlier fans. Imagine fans singing "your * and you know you are" at players when theyre playing and them playing in a big stadium more like darts than a wee hall with about 1000 fans :smiley-laughing002:

    Ronnie O'Sullivan is simply a genius with a cue in his hand.

    He plays a different game than anyone else when he's at his best.

    In terms of natural ability The Rocket is probably the best player in the history of the game.

    Agree, the rocket was * deadly the night. Genius.

    He plays like that nobody will stop him winning his 5th world title.

    I think theres only 2 players left in the draw who could beat him but unfortunately they've drawn each other. Sean Murphy and Judd Trump. Ding has played well also but he doesn't have the nerve to tame Ronnie imo.

    Feeling sorry for Bingham right now, his morale is so low right now as Ronnie is potting everything in his sight, can't see Bingham getting a single frame at this rate.

    Aye you could tell he was feeling the pressure, and no wonder anything he missed or any hint of a chance and Ronnie was clearing up.
