Can someone tell me what time the Robertson match is due to resume, please?

7:00pm UK time.

From his latest book, Ebdon, Selby and Mark King. Actually for Selby he said, his way is not wrong, mine is not right, it's just very different. But he had to put a towel over his face when he played Mark King as he couldn't stand it

What is wrong with the way King played?

Ebdon I totally agree with........ so negative AND slow it was ridiculous. Thankfully we don't see him on TV much these days.

[Cov86]

Come to think of it Selby is like a younger version of Ebdon which is why I don't particularly like him. Plus I'm not convinced of his sportsmanship.

No Robertson- trump is 2:30

7:00pm UK time.

Not 2.30pm?

If they resume at 7, they've only played 8 frames, so would finish tommorow!! So 8 this afternoon, 8 in the evening

Yeah. Reading failure on my part. Sorry. It's definitely 2:30pm UK time.

Not 2.30pm?

Thanks, each. I'll look out for it at both times

Got it. Thanks very much.

Im not a fan of Selby but he's nowhere near Ebdon when it comes to timewasting.

Don't know, don't remember the match, but Ronnie says Mark is not very talented and he knows it, but he's a fighter. Also, his technique is wrong, he walks around the table 3 or 4 times before taking the shot. Ronnie's theory is that you can pick up bad habits by watching poor players, subconsciously I guess, so he didn't want to watch it...

There is talk that Trump says disrespectful things about other
players and yet so does O'Sullivan I see. Neither should be
disrespectul in my opinion. It does nothing for the game of
snooker or themselves.

Hi there. First post

Ronnie, apart from the last few frames of the Perry match hasn't turned up yet.
The Ronnie we saw at the Masters.

He's obviously having an off few days. Who knows what's going on.

The main thing is, he's sleepwalking through this tournament, because he's being allowed to.
When Perry nearly broke him, the real Ronnie woke up.

This is why he's so dangerous.
When he's playing like ****, by his standards, he's still capable of beating most.
But when he's pushed, and he's in the mood (unlike against Bingham in the uk) he's capable of destroying you.

I think Ronnie is a shoe in for the title, no matter how he plays, and that's worrying for the state of snooker, frankly.

Roberston could win the title, but it doesn't look like he's getting past Judd.

First post but a very good one. I totally agree with your analysis.....

[P.Smith]

Each of this trio are very scared of ronnie, not just scared.

One of the trio wont get more than 6 frames against ronnie in a best of 35 match and be embarrassed at how far behind them they are (just like selby was in masters final, i think he was close to crying like ding, now that would of been brilliant)

I don't know where you've got this from.

Judd played bad against Ronnie in last years semi final and still got a lot more than 6 frames.

I think you're a bit deluded if you think any of those players couldn't get more than 6 frames in a best of 35.
