2014 World Championship - Discussion

Wow, OTT reaction much?

[brusque]

hehe come on Judd .. I sense Neil's jumps will spur Trump on .. lets see

[nYLo]

Yes!!! FINALLY!!

And of even greater importance... Judd hasn't had much of an opportunity to make pots for the last few frames, so he may have cooled off a bit b/c of that.

Do you think that Neil has the upper-hand at this point?

I think so yeah.
Needs to calm down now though.

[Vic Flange]

Well done Neil. Trump shows himself up as the petulant, graceless little tosspot that he is.

[ronniex]

Wow, one hundred centuries and couple of tournaments won the whole season. Ridiculous celebration. Btw. is he chewing a gum? Disgustingly irritating to watch.

[statto]

Stephen Hendry played 751 frames during his record season. Robbo has only played about 786 frames!! Some maths tell us that that's only a difference of 35. Robbo has already beaten Hendry record with 46 ... Which is more than the difference of played frames between the two ... So it can't be bacause there now are so many bloody tournaments :P

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Neil has been knocking in the centuries at a rate of one every 7.9 frames. In Ronnie's 2007/08 season he was knocking them in at a rate of one every 7.6 frames (50 in 383 frames). This rate of making centuries isn't new - there are simply more opportunities now due to the tournament roster.

FYI, at that rate if Ronnie had played 786 frames he'd have notched up 103 centuries by now. Neil's achievement is impressive, but not some kind of miracle.

Hmm...have to think some more about Judd's non-reaction together with Neil's over-exuberance, and in light of the importance of this match. There's more to it.

[daffie]

?..Btw. is he chewing a gum? Disgustingly irritating to watch.

Finally someone agrees with me...been saying that all day long

[Kevycanavan]

Finally!
Fair play to Robertson.

What a little piece of work Trump is, he couldn't even bring himself to pretending to be happy for Neil.

Right Neil, next on the agenda is putting a Trump to bed without his supper

[scottley]

You can't blame Judd for his reaction, he is fully focused on winning a match, why should he care about Neil' century?

[snookerpoolman]

Well done Neil. Trump shows himself up as the petulant, graceless little tosspot that he is.

Trump is a SPOILT LITTLE BRAT.... Shows his true colours by not even acknowledging Neil's achievement...

Well done Robbo....

[Atypical Male]

Ronnie would undoubtedly have made 100+ if he turned up to every tournament. No big deal.

That's a load of rubbish. Robbo's nearly 40 ahead of everyone else. As someone else already said, "IF's and BUTs"...

[Billy]

You can't blame Judd for his reaction, he is fully focused on winning a match, why should he care about Neil' century?

What and a quick handshake would have hurt so much, would it?

It seems to me that Judd takes a dislike to pretty much anyone who outshines him in the popularity stakes.

[daffie]

Best of 3 now...come on boys let's have a fantastic tense exciting and hard fought final frame decider!

[Hinzy9]

Judd could have at least stood up and shook his hand or clapped or something. On the other hand Neil's reaction was well over the top during a big match. It's not like it's a maximum or a match winning clearance.

Both players in the wrong for me.
