2014 World Championship - Discussion

I think if one player can really starting playing well others will follow suit, no one has set it alight yet, but we've had plenty of drama, it will pick up i'm sure.

Watching the Allen Holt match atm...could be an interesting one. As David Hendon just said...one where you watch the game as much as the players (antics).

Has the standard of professional snooker ever been lower than it is now?

Certainly not many centuries.

Well goats may have been grazing on Trumps hair, but what the hell happened to Kyren! It's not the 90s is it? What's next...Neil Robertson sporting a mullet?

John Higgins not messing around with cues??????

What I meant was he is a good advert for why one should not do it.

Well done Eurosport. You are managing to miss the entire first frame of the Allen vs Holt match.
Give yourselves a pat on the back.

Ps. Looks like Akan was the value outsider after all, very very well done Alan.

John Higgins is the poster boy for not messing about with cues, how many times was he in in the match and missed pot or position due to using side, even just a trace.

Ford is such a loser ... he rode his luck to get the chance and started shaking yet again ...... I do not understand why does he have the ranking he has ... Wasley is three times the player Ford is

how would you know? do you play them both often?

I know what you mean.. of the matches I've seen it hasn't been what you would expect of a world championship field. Surely it will improve as the tournament goes on?

There's plenty guys who once they are in can score very heavily but with few exceptions, there is a lack of guile and craft.

Trump and Ford both left their snooker game behind and
showed up anyway it seems. I was looking forward to
seeing Trump play his A game but was disappointed to
say the least.

I also expected Higgins to win however Fu and Hawkins
seem to be on track.

Snooker is a strange game indeed and you never know.

It's slowly turning into a nightmare for Ford.

Does Judd keep goats?

I only ask as one seems to have been chewing at his hair.

Goats do that? Bad goat! Poor Judd.
