When he made the numpty comment it was in regards to mark williams going to play a qualifier.johnnybev1987 said:
Yawn, there is no discussion in your eyes you obviously dont like Ronnie or what he has said. I am in the total opposite camp, although i dont agree with calling them numpties but he didn't mean everyone outside the top 30 he has even maintained previously he thinks Yan is going to be world champion so he wouldn't fall under the 'numpty' tag.paulie8290 said:Day 2
Round 1
Not at all said, he claimed players outside the top 30 are all numpties and shouldnt be competeing with the likes of him, he loses to someone ranked 54th, anyone can neat anyone on the day and everyone has to start somewhere, he needs to stop making comments like that and get on with his game.johnnybev1987 said:
Seen people putting this on twitter , very sad. Firstly he himself has quotes to say what a good player Yan Bingtao so not like he has lost to any of the claimed 'numpties'paulie8290 said:Whose the Numpty now
Watched the game yesterday, the best player won on the day and he is a great talent. No doubt future world champ, although i would add he did seem to get the rub of the green whenever he missed didnt leave anything, but very deserved and was doing to Ronnie what he was doing to everyone last week (English Open) he would miss one shot and effectively lose the frame. Sad to see Ronnie go out early and that will affect viewing figures/ interest but good luck to Yan hope he goes far in this tourney.
Also although it appears disrespectful he has been asking for a 2nd tour with parachute of payments and this is to look out for the players outside the top 64 and said they should do some form of league too. So in your eyes he is slating those not good enough, but to me he wants to protect snooker and get more people to come through.
Saw Kyren got 147 and then went out, shame he is a good player.
When this started he was talking to williams about having to pkay in qualifiers against numpties.
He then came up with this thing about a 2nd tour whih clearly came from management to.make him sound better
But the original context was he feels he is to good to play qualifiers.
The 2nd tour idea isnt great either, think how much experience these players get playing the big names.
Jack Lisowski is a prime example, the last 6 months he has gone from strength to strength up to 47th and will be higher after this tournament.
Currently beating Masters finalist Wilson 4-0
Win the tournement and he is into top 16.
I have said it before and will say it again this boy has talent and will win an event sooner or later.2 -
Hope so he has alot of talent and always thought he would be better than trump. Having a very good year and would be good to see him get there without qualifiers.paulie8290 said:paulie8290 said:

China Open Quarter Finals
Mark Selby 6-2 Mark Williams
Barry Hawkins 6-5 Tom Ford
Neil Robertson 6-0 Stuart Bingham
Kyren Wilson 6-5 Jack Lisowski
So we now know the top 16 and who automatically qualifies for Sheffield and Mark Allen will be breathing a sigh of relif, the only thing that can still change is whetr Hawkins, Robertson and Wilson finish in the top 16 as to what section of the draw they are in.
Mark Selby has found his A game 5 centuries over 130 in this event the next highest is Ding and Williams both with 2, he now hasnt lost in the China open since his quarter final defeat in 2014,
2015 he won
2016 he didnt enter due to personal reasons
2017 he won
2018 he is in the semi final.

China Open semi final
Mark Selby (1) v Kyren Wilson (10)
Neil Robertson (12) v Barry Hawkins (8)
These matches are played over 2 sessions best of 190 -
China Open Final
First session
Mark Selby 8-2 Barry Hawkins
Mark needs 3 more frames when the resume later.
If he wins Selby will gurantee ending the season as world number 1 for a 7th year in a row, his streak would take him 1 above Ray Reardon he would be level with Steve Davis and 1 behind the longest ever streak which is Stephen Hendry with 8 years between 89/90 and 96/972 -
Selby back winning just before the World Championship, could be dangerous. Class act, hope Ronnie can have the upper hand this year.0

Selby after today will have won 13 matches in a row over 2 or more session. Not losing since the Shanghai masters final in 2016.johnnybev1987 said:Selby back winning just before the World Championship, could be dangerous. Class act, hope Ronnie can have the upper hand this year.
He really is the best player over the longer distance matches.1 -
MARK SELBY IS CHINA OPEN CHAMPION
China Open Final
Mark Selby 11-3 Barry Hawkins0 -
And for Selby to be number one ranked for so long in an era with so many dangerous players is an amazing feat.
Doesnt get nowhere near the recognition he should outside of the game.

No highlight for Reanne Evans? Tough draw for the 2 ladies
Agreed Yan v Page is a tough draw for Page, shame cant see him winning that one. Yan future world champ, but a bit too soon for me.
Seems quite a tough first round of fixtures, probably a tough one to call who goes through at this point.
Getting excited, love following even the qualifiers.

I do root for the ladies, last year think Reanne got through first qualifying round, but 2 tough games this year so would be a major upset. 0 -
