2014 World Championship - Discussion

This is it here i reckon, not a problem ball on the table for Robbo.

I was watching the Dale match but you've pulled me over to watch now.

Backing Mark Allen in this one. A potential Selby vs Robertson match would be too slow for me to endure at times.

Looking forward to seeing a century of centuries from Robbo today.

So good to hear him talk when he's in that sort of mood, shows himself to be the thoughtful and intelligent man he is. Really let's himself down with his interviews sometimes when he just messes about or goes on about not caring etc. Seems to be too focused at the moment for that.

Yes he will most probably reach that milestone this afternoon. The way he's been playing should be a certainty. Still some hurdle for him to overcome as the hype and build up around it has been huge. I think he will be mighty relieved once it's out of the way. And his pops as well

I'm really looking forward to the conclusion of this match. As well as to the final session of Murphy and Fu later on.

Great achievement no question, if Robbo does get to his 100 centuries. It'd be interesting to know his century rate per frames played, with so many PTC's etc now, the number of frames will of course be considerable.

Of the remaining matches, if I were to have a bet it'd be for Dale to beat Hawkins. Hawkins of course has the experience of having reached the final last year but Dale is hardly a Crucible newcomer. Been very impressed with his game in his 2 matches so far.

I wonder how much he charges?

I definitely wouldn't say he is cheap considering the portfolio he has accumulated.....

I would hazard a guess it depends on the situation.

[cyberheater]

Nice find j6.....

Indeed he does look focused, that Steve Peters has work wonders with him. But I never knew Steve was working with the Liverpool players as well.....

Thanks for that. A great interview and good to see Perry's reaction.

So, presuming that Robbo does indeed get his 100th century of the season today...

- Do you think that there will be any brief form of recognition of this milestone by the tournament organizers?
- Do you think that there should be?

First of all, I don't think it's a foregone conclusion by any means. His match is very finely poised at 9-7 and against a player of Allen's class he could certainly still lose and not make the century.
I would love for him to do it but, for me, to make it a certainty he needs to win this match. If he does that I expect him to make the century he needs against Trump.
As for the reaction I would imagine it would be something like a 147 (standing ovation from the crowd, maybe a handshake from the players on the other table). I don't think world snooker will do anything formal to recognise the occasion although I think they probably should. At Wimbledon a few years ago a small on court ceremony was arranged after the Isner-Mahut match that went on for about 5 days with both players getting a trophy. I think something like that before his next match (IF he wins) would be appropriate.

Dale will be playing Hawkins which is an interesting matchup.

Murphy or Fu will play O'Sullivan and either could beat him
if they are playing their A game.

Trump should he win will play either Robertson or Allen.

Good matchups.

Yes. Very good. They all sound like really hard matches.

I think Hawkins should beat Dale. O'Sullivan will win his match. As for the other one. I'm not sure.
