Ronnie O'Sullivan and Hossein Vafaei will face off in the last 16 of the Snooker World Championship today. Expect this to be fireworks!
what the hell was Vafaei thinking smashing the reds up in the 2nd frame ?!
other than that, Ronnie looking very comfortable.

Nice to see 'Mr Smug' Williams getting knocked out. Scruffy fucker.
Ronnie did that to Vafaei in the German Masters two years ago and actually potted a red. I think he was trying to send out a message back as he is still holding a grudge over Ronnie. Stupid move though and he really embarrassed himself in the biggest stage out there!what the hell was Vafaei thinking smashing the reds up in the 2nd frame ?!

What’s the beef between the two?Ronnie did that to Vafaei in the German Masters two years ago and actually potted a red. I think he was trying to send out a message back as he is still holding a grudge over Ronnie. Stupid move though and he really embarrassed himself in the biggest stage out there!
I remember Alex Higgins would break off that way occasionally, maybe others have done it too. I used to do it if playing a novice opponent to give them a chance (and people did it against me), so professionally maybe that’s why it’s frowned upon. They’re all drama queens some of these snooker players, O’Sullivan is example A.

Selby's just absolute nails though. I hope Allen wins it but I think he'll come up short in the semi final.Did you just see how good Brechel was ?! and he's still got a job to do v Higgins. wont be easy.

Brecel didn't win that match, O'Sullivan lost it. Had so many chances in the early frames of that session but couldn't string more than a couple of balls together and never had a break over 30.
That session with Selby and Higgins was a joke. I'd want a refund if I was in the crowd as they were short-changed by 2 frames. To only fit 6 frames in was awful. God knows what time it'll end up finishing tonight.

O Sullivan was extremely lucky to get as many frames as he did.

Brecel finished the match off extremely well but I've never seen O'Sullivan miss so many easy balls as he did in the first 3 frames this afternoon. Even when he's disinterested he's usually better than that. Brecel missed a couple of easy shots but O'Sullivan just didn't punish him for it.Brecel was awesome this afternoon.

Yes he was well off it.Brecel finished the match off extremely well but I've never seen O'Sullivan miss so many easy balls as he did in the first 3 frames this afternoon.

There is no doubt though that the better player won this match.
13-10 flattered O Sullivan.
