2014 World Championship - Discussion

[armstm]

11-11 in a quarter-final, when someone has messed around playing slow, I think it's fair enough. judd can be a bit of a tool but in this case I completely understand Judd's reaction.

We're unlucky that this game used to be played by gentlemen because now that it isn't the case any longer, some have a hard time realizing that it's never been a gentlemen's game...

Neil's safety play is much better now and Judd starts choking. That's why he doesn't stand a chance against Selby!

[Neil Taperell]

Judd has never had a B game in my opinion .....he's either on it or he isn't . Players like Robertson and selby dig in and you need to scrape them off the table . Trump doesn't have this in his armoury .

[missneworleans]

Well in the end of the day..others from reactions, gums and stuff. Just admit, that is a GREAT achievement, and he has played some incredible snooker from 11-8

Settle down fellas !

Robbo has to win another 2 to 3 World Championships before he's discussed with those other names

[snookerpoolman]

I'm not pro or anti either of these boys, they are both trying to win a snooker match, as much as i admire Robbo's achievement why should Judd give a stuff?

Because there's X millions of people watching this match live around the world and they'll see Trump for what he is, but worse than that think snooker is a un-sporting sport. Barry Hearn is doing everything possible to widen the appeal of snooker globally, and Trump can't even be bothered to acknowledge what one of his peers has achieved...

It stinks in my opinion...

Wow I am now completely turned off about Neil! The way he is playing a completely different quick-fire game suddenly after his deliberate slow play during the match to put his opponent off...I find it totally disgusting! What a dirtbag!

Exactly ....

Fair comment.

[scottley]

That red never went IMO.

[Dani]

Judd has lost the plot completely.

[Neil Taperell]

Judd spent over 2mins looking at a straight pink to the middle ......slow play ?

Another desperate shot by Trump ......red never went in a month of Sundays .

[daffie]

What a shame the match probably can't get a decider. I feel for Trump (first time ever), he did play very very well during the whole match. Neil played the tactics-card and finally got under Judd's skin in the end. He also played pretty well throughout. The 100th century was the real big the turning point in the final frames of the match. Trump lost his focus and patience after that unfortunately.

In the end both players are to be commended for hanging in. Good match, I have really enjoyed it.

edit : maybe spoke too soon...Judd still in with a chance

COME ON JUDD!!!

[scottley]

Absolutely flawless

Was Judd trying force a fluke? Lol Go home!
