Here we go, good chance for Shaun...

EDIT: And within seconds he screws it up.

That's if there is a 3rd session tonight, I wouldn't completely discount ROS trouncing Murphy now.

Indeed...exactly my point as well. Come on Shaun!

[PatBlock]

As far as today is concerned...hoping for a very strong session from both Murphy and Robbo this afternoon as otherwise tonight's sessions will be pretty much moot. Come on guys...give us a match!

Yeah, it's the third year in a row really where a couple of players don't look like they have any chance at the quarter-final stage. But we always seem to get one or two one-sided ones even if the top players make it through.

The difference this year though, we could still get four of the top5 seeds for the semi-finals, or for of the top7 if Trump wins today. So it should be a good final weekend. :smile:

And that is a good result...many top players still in the tournament. As far as today is concerned...hoping for a very strong session from both Murphy and Robbo this afternoon as otherwise tonight's sessions will be pretty much moot. Come on guys...give us a match!

Is is a shame we are ”treated” with this kind of matches in the last stages of the World Championship.

A good thing is that Ros and Neil matches are no longer in the same session....so we can watch some proper snooker. As for the other 2 qfinals for me it was total disaster. Dale and Mc Manus lost it very early in the second session. Is is a shame we are ”treated” with this kind of matches in the last stages of the World Championship.

That was very distasteful indeed.

[P.Smith]

after seeing griffiths top class commentary it got me thinking, has there been any other "funny" things that happened during a snooker match? I cant really remeber what happened but i think it was ronnie, where he sort of moved his hip forward towards michaela when she was bent over to replace a ball. Cant find the video, i found this quite funny though.

That was just disrespectful though.

I wouldn't count out Robertson yet. I can't see Trump running away with this match.

Damm a lot of one sides scores today

Robbo and Murphy have hills to climb. Dale and mcmanus are gone

Yep. I hope Robbo and Murphy can make it a bit closer. I really thought Robbo would walk over Trump.

why do kicks happen to lesser players at crucial points? I doubt Robertson, Trump, Ronnie, or Ding would have got the kick that Dale got at such a crucial stage ... 10-6 he was in it but its over now. To me he twitched but commentators are always moaning kicks every time a player misses a ball

Trump gets a lot of kicks. I find that the players with long swoopy actions get kicks more often.
