2014 World Championship - Discussion

Personally I don't see that as a clear and 'sincere' apology. Of course a player will always be apologetic, but at the same time enjoy being able to continue the break and/or win the frame. So no apology will ever be really sincere I guess. It's all about winning frames in the end. But...the way Wasley casually waved his hand in apology...he could have tried a bit harder really I feel. Especially knowing the importance of that pot in the context of the match. But that's youth for ya I guess. With age comes a bit of empathy and understanding. He could take a few pointers from Murphy, the way he lets his opponent know he feels bad about a fluke and not take it for granted. Furthermore, to me there was no intention to go for the pot, clearly he was trying to get the red in the baulk area. Too high risk otherwise. But then again, with these young players nowadays going for everything at times, one can never know for sure

If you scroll through till about 1:02mins you can see Wasley lining up safety shot to push the red between the black and pink imo, and when he fluked it he clearly apologises.

Looking at the video again after what you just said. Yes you are right. A simple fluke.

Folks will say he won that frame on a fluke but Ding had plenty of chances. He was in at least twice.

[Raldon]

I wonder who the crowd would support if Walsey were playing Ding in China? The stuff I am reading here is pathetic.

Yes, but sadly not everybody in this world knows the difference between supporting and dissing. Or am i wrong about this?

Been waiting for the Gould - Fu match since the draw, could be a classic

I'm trying to watch both matches at once. I think I'm going to have to choose. when its on euro sport I just toggle between the two channels, but I do usually prefeer the commentary on the BBC.

Why do all Higgins' games look suspect

Cause you're not looking the right way

Did I miss something, looks fairly normal from here.

[stephenm2682]

Think I'm just being biased

[cebs]

You can juggle the two on BBC as long as one us live in BBC 1 or 2, the other is on 301 on freeview anyway.

I do picture in picture sometimes and then can swap between the main and smaller windows quite quickly, good feature I'd your box has it.

Nice start to fu gould match.

This has 10-9 wrote all over it.

Watching the Higgins - McManus match atm, but John playing badly and Alan looks to be running away with it, so I might switch over to the other match after the interval.

[stephenm2682]

If it gets to the interval ;-)

[Dr_Doctor]

I don't think I can watch this anymore. C'mon McManus. Finish him!

[Dr_Doctor]

Now this is more like the Higgins we know.
