2014 World Championship - Discussion

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.

Full agreement. While I fully realize that O'Sullivan's one of the all-time masters of the game, the attitude I've seen him display on multiple occasions places me as being in the "not a fan" category for him. Showing a lack of respect for your peers in the sport shows a lack of respect for the sport itself.

As for today...
Robbo - he had that HUGE comeback against Gould when he won it all in '10, going completely nuts in that final session. I'm hoping that he doesn't wait to turn on the gas 'til then and instead steps it up in this first session today. To say that he was totally off yesterday is understating it.

They're talking at the moment about the 'slip of the 'tongue' that occurred yesterday.

That was a nice little ditty about Terry G...enjoyed that very much.

Also great to see Mark Selby take so much time joining Hazel and the boys in the studio...not every player would do that!

[Catch 22]

How many times does selby say the word "obviously" ! Lol

[daffie]

Robbo looks very up for it...very different look in his eyes than there was yesterday. (needs to stop chewing tho)

I'm predicting a good session...

[Dr_Doctor]

C'mon Robbo. Make a century! :P

[daffie]

@Cyberheater...you must be thrilled with Eurosport atm The Beeb coming to the rescue though.

[PatBlock]

Parrot: "Neil taking so much time over the black, it must be close..." Very funny JP.

Oh dear.

If Judd takes this fra- oh wait... I'm typing too slow. Lol

[P.Smith]

Lol. dem kicks.

[Billy]

Mmm. Wonder if we'll ever get to the bottom of what causes the kick?

Did Judd officially concede that frame or was it just presumed?

[Atypical Male]

It'll be interesting to see if the kicks disappear with this new set of balls.

Robbo has a golden opportunity here with this 2nd frame, now.

[Billy]

Betwixt AND between! It's Betwixt AND between, not 'in'. I don't know of a single commentator that says this phrase correctly.

[daffie]

This could be the one then...come on Robbo let's get it out of the way shall we.

Eh darn it...another slow-typer. Better luck next time Neil

[daffie]

Btw WTF...is Neil chewing gum?! Is that even allowed? Bad boy...in the corner you go for the rest of the afternoon

I wondered.

In other news, I think Hawkeye is on the blink.

Also, there's a regular in the crowd who I call Mr Sleepalot. Why the hell does he spend good money to attend matches he never sees?
