2016 World Championship discussion

Yes good interview but made me laugh when Alan said the way Ding conducts himself is a real class quality guy.
I suppose that includes Ding's post UK Championship 2015 interview which has mysteriously vanished down the memory plughole?

Well Ding does conduct himself very classy and respectful towards his opponents...at least nowadays he definitely does.

Dennis, you're undoubtedly a nice fellow, and I know you will never read this, but there's something I need to get off my chest.

I probably would have put it in not so many words exactly but I do agree...please stop the boring golf tidbits...don't care for it one bit

Century start for Ding, and they way he went about it, I'm feeling a little nervous for Allan...

It gets my goat because I hate golf. I don't, to some extent, mind them interviewing the Masters champion, but *mobile phones goes off*...do you know at the Masters you're not allowed to take a mobile phone on to the course, Stephen? So what? What does that have to do with anything?

I'm no fan of Golf either, I will watch the last day of the Masters though, it's traditional.

I actually had forgotten about this. Hard to imagine ding saying this stuff.

I think Taylor keeps referring to golf as a way of platforming his social status,I've muted virtually all of this years WC commentary and all the better for it,thats just me though.

[DeanH]

he mentions golf so he gets invites to play for free all over the place

did I hear Steven Hendry saying "...one of the nicest people you could meet..."? he got it in before DT could :biggrin:

[daffie]

Well what a start from Ding. Hoping Alan can get the next couple of frames...just to keep Ding from running away with the match.

[PatBlock]

What a start from Ding, I hope Alan's chair is comfortable.

[PatBlock]

Should be 3 - 1 now, c'mon Alan!

Dings great to watch when in form, oh AM what have you done

[cueman]

This is going to be a humiliation for McManus I feel. I said last week people who like the underdogs getting through should be careful what they wish for and I think the proof of that will be seen in these semi finals, particularly this match.

IMO McManus has been very fortunate that the table he played on was so bad and he faced 2 opponents who clearly got so wound up that they lost their composure and McManus capitalised.
Higgins just didn't turn up either, he hasn't really faced an in form player, now he is you can see the massive gulf in class.
