What price do you reckon to lay off Angel?
|
|
By:
When he is 4-4...5-5 with Ronnie and a 50/1 poke for the title John
|
|
By:
But i would let it ride John until after he beats Ronnie!
|
|
By:
I like that, fighting talk! Stranger things have happened, thats for sure
Got this match spectacularly wrong, didnt think Matt still had it in him. But wouldn't be weighing it in just yet |
|
By:
Matthew has not beaten MJW in a tourny for a long time so he will be over the moon as to how this match has panned out so far, but of course you are right he still needs to finish off the match, so if you took the 150 on offer but want to trade off £15 @130 it is there John.
If is worth noting that when he has met Ronnie it is often close mid match. So 4-4..5-5 is expected at least and Matt beat Ronnie in the Welsh. |
|
By:
Yes you are right...was 5-5 when they met in the semis here a few years ago, i had to check that as in my head i had ronnie handing him his cards right from the start.
Cant be laying off now if you're on. Got to live a little, roll with it until the semis at least ;) Am guessing Matthew is one of the nicer guys on the circuit, dont mind seeing him have a good run at all. |
|
By:
Absolutely John, roll with it. He can give Ronnie a beating for sure, he won`t tie up and can play like Ronnie in the balls. I`m feeling more confident the more i analyse it.
Of course the semi would be a bridge too far ;) |
|
By:
You can over think this game sometimes too. I actually watched a fair bit of Matt's qualifier against Swail and i completely ruled him out on the basis of that. It was a match Swail could nearly have won, it was that bad. But of course Stevens has that bit of class and pedigree that will shine through on some occasion you're not expecting it.
The thing about Ronnie is if he turned up and gave Matthew as little respect as he gives the customary mugs he's drawn against, like today, he could get burned. Experience tells you it shouldnt happen, but you never know. |
|
By:
I doubt Stevens looked forward to the qualifiers, it`s quite a grueling 3 match set up and dampish ambiance. Most of the top 16 would struggle to perform impressively under those conditions.
|

By:
I'm not sure what qualifying match you were watching Gentleman John. I went to Ponds Forge for the final qualifying round and thought M.Stevens played very solidly against J.Swail. At 6-4 there was a 55 minute frame which Stevens finally edged on the black, after Swail had gone in-off but after that it was plain sailing. There were lots of long safety exchanges, but I'm surprised you think Swail could have won.
|

By:
No fair enough, gob. Hold my hands up to having got Stevens all wrong here. He did beat Swail fair and square, but there were a couple of other frames, including the last, that Joe should have won. Do you remember the blue Stevens played in the last? Playing safe, he simply nudged it towards the pocket for Joe to pot, I thought it was the worst shot i've seen all season, still shaking my head thinking about it.
Anyway, Matthew is a guy with a lot of ability, but he's languishing at 38 in the rankings for a reason which escapes me, but every now and again he pops up and has a little run. Wish i had the foresight to recognise when the planets are going to align for him! Anyway i hope he does it for backers, but just don't have him over the line yet. |

Didn`t Stevens start showboating in the final which Murphy won? I remember him playing a shot left handed which cost him a frame. He was 9-6 up in that final but then started to get far too casual.
Very capable of excellence but also of self muggery. |
|
By:
I cant recall him showboating Angel but i cant remember last week never mind 10 years ago!! He hates using the rest doesn't he, so maybe that's why he might have played left-handed?
|
|
By:
In fairness, Shaun Murphy was brilliant , especially in the last session of that final
|
|
By:
gentlemanjohn - I don't remember that specific shot, as there were 6 tables in front of us, and your eyes get drawn here, there and everywhere! I'm not saying M.Stevens was brilliant, but he played far more measured snooker than I expected, and was very disciplined. He produced something similar in the 2nd mini-session last night were he was solid rather than outstanding. It's good to see him playing to this sort of standard again, but M.Williams has been exceptionally poor.
