World Snooker Championships Discussion

Well played Robert Milkins..... What a great win!!

I can definitely say that I never saw that coming before the WC started.......

[Billy]

I've just had a thought. What will Robert Milkins do if he wins this match and goes all the way to win the title? I mean, won't he be expected to smile at that point?

Feel a bit of a tw@ for saying that now, having seen his post match chat with Rob. Didn't realise he'd had a bad time of things off the table.

Well unless Ding spoils the party it's fair to say that the next world champion will be english. The remainder of the tourney has lost quite a lot of interest to me, it might be the french blood speaking but there aren't much english players I could cheer for, and amongst them very few could compete for the title. I can only see Ricky Walden and to a lesser degree Judd Trump and Barry Hawkins

They're there because they played the best snooker Odrl, what do you want? Automatic entry into the QFs for x number of the top 16? Which would hardly guarantee quality matches anyway, however you define quality.

No, that would be terrible. I'm happy to take Poomjaeng, White and Milkins over Maguire, Williams and Robertson. They all won fair and square on the table.

I want as many players as possible to play their best snooker. Unfortunately, for the second year in a row, that mostly applies to qualifiers, while a lot of the top players disappoint. I'm usually an optimist when it comes to snooker, but I can't help but worry a little at the prospect of a Selby-Milkins semi-final. But then again, you never know when you might get a pleasant surprise. :wink:

Very entertaining match that was! Neil was out of sorts and Robert on the ball...kept his cool very nicely throughout. Must be very proud of himself right now...many congrats to him, very well done.

I think that would make a good semi-final. Okay maybe not the most mouthwatering contest on paper, but both quality players with contrasting styles..

Did Robertson say that the table was rubbish or something?

I only caught the last few seconds of his interview.

In a word yes..

[CueInAction]

Mr Poomtastic, oh dear!!

[Twilight]

Poomjaeng just set the room on fire and that was just his entrance!

[daffie]

What an entrance by Poomjaeng ....and a fantastic atmosphere in the arena! I'm up for it :snooker:

Yes, but a little over the top you have to admit.

Yes, but a little over the top you have to admit.

Yeah ok...but still I like seeing this exhuberance of youth and just plain and simple fun for a change...good stuff

X2 good to see a entrance like that, hopefully will be a good match

Confirms my personal thoughts about Neil, as I wrote a bit earlier in this thread. Used to like him but not any more. Too bad really. But enough about the poor and unfortunate mr Robertson Onwards with the match at hand...
