German Masters 2014 - Discussion

Every time i manage to watch Jimmy Robertson he breaks down on 50's, though he's got the potential to become a very good player once he gets a lot more match practice...

Pretty poor matches for the 1st day of the Masters. The match between Carter and Poomjaeng was particularly bad. Two professionals playing like the average club player.

[Rane]

That fourth frame from Robertson was topclass breakbuilding. Liu Chuang seems to run into the top players all the time.

is the other tables on any live stream?

I have watched a couple of matches today and there seems to be A LOT of kicks and bad contacts has anyone else noticed this?

Yes. Even the commentators are mentioning it.

For some strange reason. There is only one televised table. Seems pretty daft to me.

Currently watching the Trump vs Saengkham match. So glad that Trump isn't sporting the Black Adder hairstyle today.

Saengkham off to a good start. He's going to need it playing someone with Trumps ability.

If I paid £1000 for a pair of shoes. They'd never leave my feet.

During Poomjaeng’s game V Ali Carter he appeared to touch a red whilst bridging over the pack. Ref didn’t call it and either did PoomJaeng. Shaun Murphy made reference to it on Twitter. Shaun reckoned it was a definite foul …. Anyone else see this ?

I saw it. To be honest. I don't know how Poomjaeng could have failed to realise he fouled. It was pretty obvious and a pretty big mistake by the ref as Poomjaeng was forced to bridge across quite a few reds.

Like i said in my earlier comment further up, he must have felt it touch his cue, you know when you foul a ball with your cue, good job he was'nt playing Mark Allen lol.

[cantpotforshíte]

Looking at Boombang's eyes as he fouled the red, they could have been focussed fully on the object ball and not the cuetip/ball as he was cueing over the reds. It was only the lightest of contacts on the red. Is it not possible that he didn't feel it?

[scottley]

Perhaps i am being a little harsh.
