Having problems getting the 2nd table match? Been watching Robertson vs Trump, can't switch to Cope vs Pagett, I'm on BT Vision as opposed to Sky last year, thought it was only freeview that limited match choice? Can anyone help me as to why this is the case or if it's a problem on the BBC end??

On the issue of clothing, I quite like Pagett's trousers actually.

So do I. It shows you can add colour and expression while upholding the traditions of the sport. I've no problem with that.

The day snooker players turn up in sweat pants and t-shirts, I stop watching.

I can get the match on table two fine with virgin media.

Nice 122 from Trump

[Erwan_BZH]

Superb century by Judd! A clean break to put him 3-2 ahead....

anything you can do...

Great stuff!!! Don't like to see player's exhibitioning on centuries and before centuries are scored, people bet on high breaks, Trump was a decent bet for high break but due to his exhibition he didn't score his max break, no doubt he cost some people some money by not trying his best, 129 is a bit harder to beat than 122!! Anyone else agree players should always try their best on a break? What about when a player is 70 up after getting a 50, gets in again with a 50 on and exhibitions til he misses and uve bet for number of 50 breaks over a certain number?

The players are not obliged to always try and make the maximum possible break just to satisfy betting punters. Paying punters there to watch the match are more important and they love the exhibition stuff.

You can't honestly believe that a 129 break will be the highest of the 17 days !!
And if you bet on this sort of thing, more fool you. Once the frame is safe a player can do whatever he likes (apart from when on a max and refusing to play final black like Ronnie lol)

So what?

Why should Judd Trump, or any player, care about bets?

[Gerry Armstrong]

Robertson looks in a bit of trouble, could be going 3-6 behind.

Robertson looks in a bit of trouble, could be going 3-6 behind.

I think im one of the few people in the prediction thread who said Judd would win

[Gerry Armstrong]

He's in again now and should make it 4-5 going in to tonight. Will be all to play for.

This match is obviously going to a decider
