Who will win it now?

[RocketRoy1983]

Murphy is not playing well enough to win it. He was lucky to get past Higginson in Round one and Fu was awful in Round two

Fair enough reasoning. I assume you mean Robbo arrogant after his celebrations against Carter?

Yes. Exactly. Didnt like that.

[RocketRoy1983]

No nor did i mate and it does stick in the memory for a lot of people and can cause a dislike for a lot of people.

[steedee]

Yes. Exactly. Didnt like that.

shocking isnt it they say there are no characters in the game and then complain when a player gets excited abot winning a big frame

Its not about character. Firstly the idea that there are NO characters in the game is a view shared by non-snooker fans. We know there are plenty. When Robbo decided to shout how did he know that a player on the next table wasnt pausing before delivering his cue? Thats my point.

How do the audience clapping or cheering know that a player on the next table wasn't pausing before delivering his cue?

Again its a very fair point Alex although I have to say, and you must agree, that the players are somewhat used to this untimely as they sometimes can be.

watch any interview with Robertson and its obvious he isnt at all arrogant.

I think against carter he was under alot of pressure and it just shows how much this years world champs mean to him, but then again i dont have a problem with any player showing emotion and think it makes the matches more exciting to watch.

But robbo is the exception to the rule as most other australians are all extremely arrogant (joking)

i have to say i think what Mark King did was worse though.

Robertson had just won a frame, i've already seen Allen, Hendry, Selby, Dott and Cope do something similar after winning big frames this week. Granted Robertson's was a bit early in the match compared to the others but it wasn't for any other reason than relief and pleasure. To suddenly label him arrogant is a bit dramatic to say the least, he's normally a respectable decent bloke.

King shouted out after missing a shot at 12-6 down, when the frame wasnt over, just as a shot was about to be took on the other table.

That is petulance in my book. That was uncalled for.

[RocketRoy1983]

Hey steed I didnt see or hear about that but yes sounds petulant. Unlike Mark also.

Perhaps a more sound resistant screen is the way forward?
