2019 World Snooker Championship

[DeanH]

Guess the broadcasters are a tad concerned now, there preference list looking something like.

Higgins v Trump (rematch of 2011 final)
Higgins v G. Wilson
Trump v Gilbert
Gilbert v G. Wilson

Wouldn't mind seeing Gilbert and Gary but doubt the broadcasters are so keen.

This is confusing me.

What's the line up now? Who plays who in the upcoming matches?

Well done John.

Looks like we are heading towards a Higgins v Judd final. That will either be a runaway for Judd or a close win to Higgins

[fkhan]

My prediction is coming true. John to win the title.

Think he's gonna be ok, JH not looking too good atm....


Quite right. And how about you're term of affection for the duchess? M'lady? your grace? (When you're not messing with the maids, that is).

Hmm spoke too soon, Robbo in deep trouble now
Duchess went many moons ago, the maids keep me entertained

Love how modest Gary is in his press conferences.

[PatBlock]

Looking like a good start tho

Surely you mean "my missus"

I have a memory of that...

It shouldn't really matter but it's interesting to know which players have real life needle between them when they meet on the table, even if it's irrelevant.

Murphy and O'Sullivan, Murphy and Mags come to mind.

Kyren Wilson and Judd Trump don't particularly like each other off the table iirc.

He actually said he couldn't see how Wilson hadn't won anything. I don't like the guy, but he started the interview fairly complementary. He did then go on to slate Wilson's style and technique, and bemoan his luck and Gary's good fortune, but he was at least gracious for the first 10 seconds.

Both sides of this argument are right, arsey ali said both things....

Yup he said "I can't understand how he hasn't won anything" at the beginning, however later in his interviews he says "in my opinion you can't keep going for those shots and getting them. There low percentage shots, they all went in today, so that means it's his day. They don't go in every day that's probably why he's never won anything?"

Afterwards he gets a bit Arsey Ali though - saying he had a lot of ball-run.

He also seems to acknowledge he underestimated him, "I didn't think he could play that well, but I'm sure Selby didn't, but it's all eyes on him for the semis so good luck to him." but later on says he didn't underestimate him "how can you underestimate someone in the quarter finals of the world championships, that's not really possible"

After about two minutes he starts to get really arsey, "his cue action isn't attractive to look at and his style isn't but he gets the balls in the hole"

Although he does accept he played below his own standards "It would have took my best game to win and I wasn't at my best"

Wow lol. I think I have read somewhere that Carter isn't actually that well liked on tour by the other players. Could be wrong though.

I have a memory of that...
