German Masters 2014 - Discussion

[Holden Chinaski]

I'm not trying to hate on Judd Trump, but the guy has a tendency to have a lot of outrageous flukes. Must be frustrating for his opponents.

[P.Smith]

Great match by Judd, he finally gets past the last 16 of a ranking event this season. Can't say shaun played that well though.

A Ding/Trump final would please me greatly.

terrible play from both players. he needs the flukes to get over the line. the last minutes of the last frame are scenes you should be seeing at a local club not a professional match, let alone in a match between top players

It was pretty unlucky for Judd to go in off the brown in fairness.

[Catch 22]

I've been at work all day today . Have there been as many kicks today as there has been in the last couple of days ?

What happened there? Dear me...

there is no such thing as 'luck' in such circumstances, top players should know the path of the cue ball and he should have been nowhere near the pocket with the white. on top of that, his positional play was terrible in this match

I think you might be being too critical here. He went off 3 cushions, I doubt it crossed his mind that the cue ball would be going near that pocket, having said that he could have judged the pace a bit better and shouldn't have hit it so hard,sill unlucky to go into the pocket though.

As for positional play, I've seen him do a lot worse this season, obviously it could have been a lot better but it wasn't 'terrible', you kinda sound as if you're just hating for the sake of it. He had a good pot, long-pot and safety success in that match so I'd say he played fairly well.

Any Top Players in Top Form can beat Judd and Shaun both tonight, especially Shaun Murphy. He missed few pots with rest.

[cueman]

I don't think Judd is playing bad at all. He didn't play great today but I think the table is a lot to do with the form of players in this event. I've never seen so many kicks on a table in all the years I've watched the game. Not only that but the table seems to have a strange pace to it as well, the cloth is dead but the cushions are bouncing, seems like the outside tables are performing better.

I think whoever plays on the TV table is going to struggle, not one match of good quality on it thus far!

Once again Eurosport UK is late for snooker. We've got some rubbish indoor footy type thing.

It's not like it's important or anything. It's just the quarter finals.

and you sound very ignorant. fancy to be talking to some illogical, intellectual lightweight on the 1st day of the new year

and there was me thinking you may have had a New Year's Resolution to not be arbitrarily rude to people?

Looks like Trump is starting to steam roller Holt on one of the off tv tables.

Ding is looking very strong on the tv table. Perry hasn't done a lot wrong in this match but Dings long potting is spot on today so any half chances Perry is leaving him are rapidly becoming frame winners. I think Perry is going to have to start going for long pots if he wants a chance to win this match because he won't win against Dings safety game.
