World Championship 2012 1st Round Discussion

If Dominic gets a big lead in the first session I Hope that Neal Foulds and John Virgo don't keep on about Judd feeling ill, because I think it will be disrespect to Dominic who is a very good player and won two ranking tornaments ten years apart

was just about to make the point that Dom's won 2 ranking events in his career, no mugs win ranking events!! Great player on his day and a wily old pro! Judd needs to get 4 frames and commentators said, just to be in the match at the end of the session!

Stephen managed to win the tournament with a broken arm!! I don't think feeling a bit ill should be used as any kind of excuse if you lose a game of snooker.

dom can beat anyone on his day.

i agree andrew i wouldnt mind his cue as well prob 1 of best ive seen

[Deepscrew]

@FOX MULDER

I very much doubt it personally.

[FOXMULDER]

No doubt Judd will be on Twitter during the interval to tell us all about it.

[Mr Snooker]

Mid session interval Dominic leads 3-1 and looks to be playing very good snooker

[jim evans]

Ronnie has won a ranking event when being seriously ill

wow, doesnt surprise me at all!

I wouldn't be surprised if Trump's illness is due to nerves and anxiety - he has massive expectation on his shoulders this year.

And, yes, the commentators will go on about it all session.

It was what crossed my mind as well. Being favourite with the bookies, all the expectation etc, can't be something anyone would relish really. According to RSummers, he tweeted to Steve Davis that Judd was alright, just hungover lol! Now whether or not that is in jest, it does look more to me that he isn't ill and that he does look like he's suffering a hangover. Perhaps he thought this match would just be a walk in the park. Schoolboy error if true.

Can't wait for today's play

Ding and Judd ! and Ronnie finishing off Ebdon

I'd suggest re-wording the last sentence of that post.

[breakman16]

Awwww Dominic, WHAT a chance he missed there! That's why he hasnt won more, gotta take those against a top player!

When I first saw him at the start I thought he looked hungover rather than ill. I can't imagine he would do that at the start of the most important tournament, or would he?

there would be serious trouble if it came out he is hungover, not very pro, think Mr. Hearn will be having a stern word if true!!
