German Masters 2014 - Discussion

Well done to Ding and well done to Germany, the crowds have been terrific!

[P.Smith]

Agreed about the tournament being awesome as well thanks to the crowd and the venue. The German crowd seem very enthusiastic about their snooker which is good to see.

Trump just needs to stop going for crazy shots now and then.

I think judd can take heart and a bit of confidence from this, he looked good in a fair few frames this week and didn't look up to scratch in the final. it happens.

Was a good final overall, nice to see how popular snooker seems be around the world as well. Well played Ding...

You guys are entitled to your opinions but I do believe I know enough about Pro Snooker to be able to avoid losing any money on betting. I lost because (1) I was drunk, (2) I bet on sports I had no clue about, and (3) I was going through tough times in life with no job and so on. Now I am happy, have a great job (am an engineer by the way) and having fun ... just wanted to get my money back from these bet 365 losers (dun seek an explanation there as its a long story) and I can proudly tell you that I have recovered 700£ in the last week or so purely by betting on Snooker ... I was the best in Denmark on Masters predictions as well so it ain't all luck ... but now I am too busy to do this stuff .. got my money back ... I will probably bet again just for a bit of fun but I am no addict to betting ... women being an entirely different matter though. Jud Trump is useless and you should have known that if you have observed him over the past 3-4 years ... Never quite saw him do much after that loss to Higgins in final.

Great tourney .

Nice to see a good final and Ding was the one who had
his A game but nice also to see Trump getting back in
form.

The crowds were great and now if they could just get 2 TV
tables going and fix the table set up they could have a top
notch tournament. Shame about the kicks ruining some
good frames tho.

Reckon he better at snooker than you are at betting.

Lol..... Maybe you should challenge him to a money game!!

[brusque]

Off course he is but still he is a loser and his attitude makes him the loser ... he acts n behaves as if he is God and he is hardly a top player. I will choose a Selby or even a Bingham over a Trump any day.

[brusque]

It has always been hard for me to make sense to the average Joe ... off course Trump is a great player ... is he half as good as he thinks or acts like? NO big time ... how good or bad I am at betting or snooker has got nothing to do with the point I am making ... you guys just seem to lack a few brain cells to interpret plain English and it ain't my mother tongue but yours

It all ended a bit too early for my liking, but Ding really did play well in the first part of tonight's session. A few misses from both players towards the end, but even that was in Ding's favour, as the damage had already been done.

Nice to see Trump back at the business end of a major tournament. He had those couple of chances to go 5-2 up in the first session... Who knows how the match would have gone from that point. In any case, I expect him to feature more in this last part of the season now.

As for Ding, well, another reply to Robertson's and O'Sullivan's recent success. First Robertson wins his third major title of 2013 and completes the triple crown, breaking the centuries record and firmly establishing himself as the world number one in the process. Then O'Sullivan wins the Masters, his third big BBC title in the last four events he has played in, to remind everyone that he is still the man to beat. And now Ding wins his fourth ranking title of the season, something that even the likes of O'Sullivan and Higgins have never done in their career, and there are still plenty of events left to go after Hendry's record as well.

Last season every ranking event was won by a different player, and while I certainly enjoy a healthy number of strong contenders, I think it's important to have a big 3 or 4 as well, as opposed to a "small 8", so to speak. Makes it very interesting ahead of the World Championship. :wink:

Anyway, a great couple of days of snooker. Looking forward to the Welsh Open now. :smile:

I did not see the first 6 frames of the final ... but from what I saw I wonder how did Trump ever manage to win teh frames he did ... He needed half a dozen chances every frame he won while I saw. It was a terribly one sided final and you guys keep singing praises of Trump .... Enough of that .. .whenever he wins anything if he ever does is purely due to his flukes and getting away with dumbest shots i.e. run of the ball ... any top 8 player would beat him 24/7 if he just uses his brain

[itsnoteasy]

If he needs half a dozen chances to win a frame that means Ding is a shocking player as well as he must be presenting him with them yes?
