2014 World Championship - Discussion

[montoya10]

Some very classic late finishes already in this tournament. I hope the latter rounds won't be anticlimactic, though, now that the first round games were quite exciting.

Glad to see Alan McManus winning a game at Worlds again, though. He has always been one of my favourite veterans out there.

McManus v Doherty in the next round......I won't be watching that.

Uncle Albert has'nt missed much snooker so far this year.

What do people think about Trump's comments here?

I want the worlds to move to China for two reasons:

a) I live in Japan so the times would be more convenient for me.
b) It would mean those people on the front row at the Crucible who monopolise the best seats wouldn't be able to attend anymore.

If Higgins drags it back to 9-9, it looks like they will take them off which would be a shame (because I will be asleep when they come back after the evening session haha).

Really inevitable now, probably they'll be pulled off after this frame. Damn...can't afford to stay up as late as last night again...work is suffering (too bad )

edit : forgot I'm on pause mode so a bit behind the action. Alan through I reckon? Too bad for my man John, but really pleased for Alan.

Not watching mega douche Trumpletons game. Hope he gets battered.

Ronnie's match on Thursday is my next one to watch. Only a couple of people left in it to keep me interested. And they are mostly in the same half!

The Beeb is showing a repeat of the last 2 frames of the intense Ding -Wasley match.

That's very kind of you, it would save me over £1,000 a year on tickets but I don't quite see why you begrudge me a front seat when I've paid for every session since 1996?

The only worry I have for Ronnie in his half is Fu....his bogeyman. Come on Gould or Murphy!

It should be random....you are begrudging someone else, possibly someone stuck up in the heavens on row M, a chance to be closer to the action.

Well done Alan for beating another well-worn giant of the game.

The Chinese events are terrible.

I wouldn't mind the WC go somewhere else in the UK though.

Can i ask? How does front row Brian get that same chair every year? Are they sold years in advance? What happens if two people want to buy the same seat? I'm not having a pop, i couldn't care less who sits where, just curious (contadicting myself there a bit, but you know what i mean)

Cool, just wondered why the grudge. Actually the view from row M, especially along the sides, is much better. In fact, it is random, they give you whatever seat you happened to have the previous year; in my case it was C30 in 1995 so that's where I am. I know quite a few people who have season tickets who are quite far back - you just don't know that because you don't see them so often.
