O'Sullivan trailed 5-4 overnight and the increasingly rattled world number one slipped 8-5 behind, missing countless simple chances against the 23-year-old qualifier.But Cahill, who does not even have a world ranking, showed remarkable composure under pressure to get over the line. "I scored a good pressure 70 to go 6-5 up and after that I felt like he was the one under pressure. He didn't want to lose to me.
O'Sullivan was set to go 9-8 ahead but missed a relatively simple final pink to allow Cahill, the first-ever amateur to make it through to the Crucible, the chance to clear up.
Love it
It could only be Ronnie! One minute unplayable, the next, well... knocked out to an amateur! Not just any amateur though. Big up James Cahill! 👏 👏 👏
Wasn’t that shocking..
Ronnie does not look physically or mentally 100%. Far from it. Looking back, he will not begrudge Cahill his moment of glory - that's the sort of old school player he is.
goldwynbird Wasn't a shock to those who follow snooker. I had a ton on Cahill after O'Sullivan's comments last week. Thank you Mr Cahill👍👍👍👍
Thank god. The tournament just became more watchable.
Wow! THIS is what the now considers to be breaking news? Seriously?
😮.=me being shocked
There goes the beebs viewing numbers
Hopefully the guy will credit instead of it all being about O Sullivan
Dated last year but...
Not much of a shock if you watched it though. O’Sullivan was very poor.
I doubt he is suffering
Damn! Flawed genius. He probably just wasn’t in the mood, didn’t like the coffee or some other bs.
Bet he had a few quid on it.
Stinks of a gambling sting
Three years of vox pops mainly from Leave strongholds. Ten years of equality for climate change deniers. Fifty years of listener/viewer trust gone. Lazy balance is no balance at all. Good on snooker!
