2014 World Championship - Discussion

Like Hendry just said, this ton of tons might be a distraction, say he's on a 60 break he will tend to push the boat out instead of playing a good safety.

Thanks! I am watching the live scores on World Snooker (as no live coverage here in Australia).

Hopefully he can keep it going!

Did he get a century in the first frame? I didn't think he did. How many does he have now?

No century in the first frame. Now at number 94.

[scottley]

He got 54 and 75 first frame, he's on 94 tons now i think.

Another century by Robbo.

Welcome to the big league Robbie.

Its nice to see someone go out there and take charge and play flowing stuff, much the way Ronnie does, they are the best two in the world right now and it would be a dream final!

Robbo is the only player who could stop Ronnie this year in my opinion.

I tend to agree, but maybe I am biased. Hopefully he can get a ton of tons as well as being WC this year.

Robbo's cueing quite well, judging by the just-completed first frame. I hope that this is a good sign for the next couple of weeks for him.

Will the flat draw mean that the N0 17 Ranked Player will Player the N0 128 Ranked player, The 18 Ranked Player will Play The 127 Ranked player and also how will the Past World Champions be drawn out will it be a random Draw or will they be draw against the players Ranked between N0's 113 to 128, orcould we have Players like Terry Griffiths the 1979 World Champion V Cliff Thorburn the 1980 World champion or an overseas player and also which overseas players will be invited will it be Cruciable overseas players Like Dene O' Kane A Twice Quarter Finalist at Sheffiled.

Neil is going to destroy Robbie. 10 - 4 at most.

Barry Hearn as just stated that 144 players will be involed in 2015 World Championships, which will include all previous world champions getting an invite to enter the 2015 World Championships, plus overseas entrants as well and the Top 16 will still be guaranteed thier place at the Cruciable, but the players ranked between N0's 17-128 will be placed in a flat draw for the qualifiers so the Number 17 ranked player could face the Number 128 ranked player in round one. Also players will get thier prize money for winning thier first round match, but no prize Money added to thier order of merit ranking, this will also include the top 16 Players seeded through to The World Championships who lose their first round match, Also Barry Hearn said that as long as he is Chairman of world snooker The World Championships will not be moved From the Cruciable Theatre Sheffield.

Well what he actually said was as long as he continues to receive the same support of the BBC and Sheffield council then it will stay at the crucible so he did leave himself a bit of room for manoeuvring so that when he does finally move it from the crucible he will just blame the BBC and Sheffield council for a lack of continued support
