I mention this annoying mut way back when they first introduced it, and asked at the time, since when was snooker a kid's show??

It cheapens the game more than anything has done before.

Someone should give it a box of matches and tin of lighter fluid to play with.

Nicely done Stu! 3-2 up. Please continue...

Judd the world beater playing worse than a schoolboy ... oh Selby how I miss you here

Bad signs for Trump here. Does not look confident and I wonder if that illness he mentioned is actually affecting his game. He didn't sound very well when interviewed the other day and sometimes its not the illness that affects you, its the day or two after when you recover and you feel weak and tired.

He doesn't look right to me and as a big fan of his I feel this match could well be beyond him. Hope he recovers over the next day and is still in the match by Saturday, otherwise he could once again fall at the semi final stage as he did 2 years ago.

Oh I don't know, Trump started off well enough and full of confidence. But the confidence-player that he is, when things start to unravel (even slightly), then his confidence goes as well...and so forth and so on....and also his opponent will pick up on that (if he's smart) and punish Trump's mistakes. It's all in the game really

Judd had fired his powder a bit.
Good chance for Stuart to get in front.

[cyberheater]

Next ones a must have frame for Judd.

[cueman]

To be fair apart from the first two flukes he has not had a lot of run this match whereas Ballrun, as expected has had plenty. A lot to deal with in these long matches if you keep having bad run.

A must have?

I think you're all being just a tad premature, if I may be permitted to say so.

It's the best of 33, for heaven's sake.

Oh what utter and complete nonsense! Trump just needs to knuckle down and play the right shots, keep things tight. That's the way to go about keeping a player like Bingham who's on a small run atm in this match at bay.
