2014 World Championship - Discussion

[brusque]

Ford is such a loser ... he rode his luck to get the chance and started shaking yet again ...... I do not understand why does he have the ranking he has ... Wasley is three times the player Ford is

Performance wise so far you're right, but the Crucible does strange things to a player, but he's a much better player than he's shown so far.

It's because when the spotlight's not on him he's a very good player, he just can't handle the big occasion and looks nervous all the time when playing on TV. If I were him I'd be looking for a sports psychologist like Steve Peters as his problems are all mental.
Let's be honest, he's outplayed Judd today, just keeps gifting him frames.

Does Judd keep goats?

I only ask as one seems to have been chewing at his hair.

Goats do that? Bad goat! Poor Judd.

It's slowly turning into a nightmare for Ford.

Has the standard of professional snooker ever been lower than it is now?

I know what you mean.. of the matches I've seen it hasn't been what you would expect of a world championship field. Surely it will improve as the tournament goes on?

Trump and Ford both left their snooker game behind and
showed up anyway it seems. I was looking forward to
seeing Trump play his A game but was disappointed to
say the least.

I also expected Higgins to win however Fu and Hawkins
seem to be on track.

Snooker is a strange game indeed and you never know.

There's plenty guys who once they are in can score very heavily but with few exceptions, there is a lack of guile and craft.

Ps. Looks like Akan was the value outsider after all, very very well done Alan.

John Higgins is the poster boy for not messing about with cues, how many times was he in in the match and missed pot or position due to using side, even just a trace.

John Higgins not messing around with cues??????

Well done Eurosport. You are managing to miss the entire first frame of the Allen vs Holt match.
Give yourselves a pat on the back.

What I meant was he is a good advert for why one should not do it.
