2014 World Championship - Discussion

[Rocket147]

Both Trump and Robertson need to focus on the job in hand, rather than their disliking for each other. Petty stuff.

[Table_of_Reds]

I'm fairly sure i heard Judd say that Neil is a negative player on the BBC earlier, god knows what he's on about there?

Nobody knows what Trump is ever on about. This is the guy who believes he invented something called 'naughty snooker' and that his best is as good as O'Sullivan's best.

[cyberheater]

It's a shame but It's all one way traffic this evening. McManus and Dale are getting hammered. I guess that is to be expected given the seedings of Hawkins and Selby.

[Dr_Doctor]

Robertson will get the 100th I think. It's on his mind though, 100%.

I honestly believe that if he had got it out of the way yesterday, he would have been more relaxed today. He would only have the match on his mind.

[cyberheater]

The swaying mantis is now 8 - 3 to the good against McManus. Total domination.

[P.Smith]

I actually don't think it's the 100 thingy. I consider Neil a pretty sensitive, even "soft" character and I'm pretty sure he's feeling quite intimadated by Judd and his well-displayed disliking of both Neil's game and Neil himself... I think this affects Robbo as well as Judd tends to play better against players he dislikes.

That's just stupid speculation. I'm sure they're perfectly ok with each other on a personal level.

much more fun watching bayern getting raped than these two one sided robotic matches

I must confess I was initially a little puzzled by the dislike for Trump, but I'm starting to sympathise with those opinions a little more now.

He seldom has anything positive or complimentary to say about other players, or so it seems to me.

[dieselman147]

I can see a comeback from robbo on the cards tomorrow. would think ronnie, Selby and Hawkins will walk away with theirs now.

[cyberheater]

Oh Dom. What have you done there.

EDIT.

He was so lucky to get away with that.

[The Statman]

Of course, seeing these scores vindicates the scheduling - i.e. swapping the two sessions on table 2. There would be a very real prospect of having a non-existent session tomorrow afternoon, or at least only a very short one.

Obviously they can't do anything about the evening session but it's done to minimise the chances of a non-session (rather like straddling the end of the first round and the start of the second).

[Table_of_Reds]

Very disappointing tonight. These matches could've been a lot closer, Dale and McManus have been making so many stupid mistakes that they weren't making earlier in the tournament, they've virtually given their matches to their respective opponents.

[Rocket147]

I honestly believe that if he had got it out of the way yesterday, he would have been more relaxed today. He would only have the match on his mind.

He'd become the first player to achieve that feat in one season, right? I know that I'd have it on my mind, but in all honesty, if it is on his mind, he needs to forget about it. It's only going to effect his game. He's definitely ill from the sounds and looks of him. Poor bugger.

[ywfan]

to be expected really.
looking back, you wonder how the hell did mcmanus and dale even get this far!
luck of the draw i guess..

[neuronic]

That's just stupid speculation. I'm sure they're perfectly ok with each other on a personal level.

How can you be "sure"? Are they friends of yours or something?^^
So that's just speculation - wouldn't call it "stupid", though, since I'm quite a polite person
