MJW is a unique person isnt he

[The Statman]

is that the same way Mark J Williams plays sometimes with the cross head rest?

Yes, I think Mark was the player who 'invented' that shot.

[brusque]

Robbo would do well to get past Trump ... he seems to be shaking big time and Judd is taking his chances

[scottley]

Haha, the way Ronnie held the rest in frame 5 was...unique :P

He's the only one i've seen do it, same as the MJW shot with the cue under his body.

Why does Ronnie do that floating rest thing, surely the spider is the better choice?

[P.Smith]

I did. He always plays badly against Trump for some reason and Trump always plays 10 times better than usual against Neil.

I suppose you're right. I didn't realise trump had a positive record against robbo, while also winning 3 of their biggest matches.

[Where's Willie?]

3-1 to trump atm. Didn't expect this sloppy start from Neil tbh.

How has Ronnie come out of that 2-2?

Shaun is never going to win this match.

I agree, Shaun was hitting the ball as well as he possibly could in the first 2 frames and looked like Ronnie was in big trouble. Then he just seemed to lose his concentration or bottle and let Ronnie back in. Yes Ronnie has had a bit of run but so has Shaun so its not like its one way traffic.

Standard this year is very very poor all round. Perhaps the extra prize money on offer is making them all nervous.

[brusque]

Therefore I wanted Fu to play ROS ... Fu would have been 4-0 up and ROS would have started panicking ... Shaun is just not a top player despite all the hype ... makes too many mistakes and always at the wrong time

[ywfan]

murphy must be crying! How on earth is this 2-2??
This should be 4-0 to murphy
ROS CANNOT play that bad again
