Snooker Masters 2018

[FactualFrank]

It's kicked off this afternoon with Selby against Williams.

A nice week of snooker to look forward to!

[Rodneyyouplonker]

Yes looking forward to it usually get a few sessions live but having to miss this year with new born arriving. Why is Ronnie on Tuesday tho I always thought the previous winner started off the next years tournament, certainly the case last few years.

[LordBob]

Gonna be glued to it what a way to start a tournament Williams first frame was flawless, great expectations.

[FactualFrank]

Cracking start to the tournament.

[bfc1984]

Fancy Sean Murphy for this,been cueing beautifully last few tournaments.Ronnie beat him in the uk final,but time before he beat Ronnie in the last final.His long game is as good as as it get’s.

[Rodneyyouplonker]

Ronnie blitz the first session 4-0 up against Marco Fu in less than an hour. Mesmeric in this sort of form. Fu only had 1 tough pot which missed and Ronnie cleared up.

I've been busy this afternoon with work so not had chance to see it yet. It sounds like the Rocket is in the zone.

[Rodneyyouplonker]

All over. Absolutely fantastic, comes in studio saying he's got a virus, there's only one Ronnie osullivan.

Yes good..great interview I like his honesty. Take a bow ronnie!!

[tim_noone]

He's in a good place!

[Imploding Turtle]

I fancy Wilson's chances this afternoon. He's better than 2/1 on betfair too.

[FactualFrank]

Super Snooker!

[Imploding Turtle]

never in doubt.

[Imploding Turtle]

Double up with Mark Allen tonight? Better than 6/5 on betfair exchange and dominates Higgins over these short-to-middle length matches.

[Rodneyyouplonker]

Not seen this afternoons snooker, was hoping to watch it on iPlayer but not on yet, was it a good match then?

[yTib]

have had my eye on wilson for a bit now and fancied him for this tournament but allen looks intense.

can't wait for the final. i'll stick my neck out and say wilson.

[Imploding Turtle]

Depends how nervous Wilson is. If he's a leaf then it could end up being something like 10-4 to Allen because Allen's too arrogant to be nervous. I think Allen will win but if Wilson plays his best then Allen's best won't be enough.

[ian]

I think Mark Allen on current form will be a bridge too far for Wilson. I'm giving this 10-7 to Allen.

[FactualFrank]

Anybody watching the final?

[Imploding Turtle]

Yep. My bet's losing, again.

[Imploding Turtle]

Now i'm a Kyren Wilson fan. That was nice of him to show a bit of compassion for an older fella who might not know how to turn his phone to silent.

[FactualFrank]

Yeh. I like Allen too. Both come across as decent lads so really not bothered who wins. I just want it to go to 10-9.

[LordBob]

A very cagey affair but that's snooker the name of the game but what about the flys and wasps would you eat a sandwich from the cafe? Next year I reckon RENTOKIL should be the main sponsors.
