  • Ronnie lost focus 13-8 a bit. Great last frame though. I suppose it's inevitable over a long match ur focus will dip.

      If Ronnie wins the first frame tommorow, I might have to change. I've been burnt before though, so I always stick to my predictions until it's virtually impossible (i.e 16-11 or something like that).

          Just saying people should be aware of what kind of methods gutter press can use when it comes to selling paper. It looks fishy indeed, but don't put all the blame on Higgins. The real problem is beting, as long as it is allowed, there will be match-fixing scandals. Unfortunately, most of snooker sponsors are online betting sites, and the game needs their support badly

          • Both matches have been a big disappointment to me.

            I expected better especially from the Trump/O'Sullivan
            match.

            Hopefully all 4 players can bring their A game to the
            next sessions.

            • Trump o'sullivan has been great, yes quality has been less than that Antwerp final or the uk but its been gripping. Best match of the year for me.

              • Is it actually true that these two don't get on with eachother? I always thought they were fairly tight?

                It is interesting how Ronnie chose not to practice with the likes of Judd, Lisowski, Wenbo ect at the Grove. Never really thought about it.

                  Are people still moaning about Higgins?

                  You'd think the fact that the newspaper that 'revealed the truth' about him is now defunct due to their absolutely abysmal conduct might be enough to make people doubt the validity of the story, especially when if you looked at the follow up article that the NOTW printed, it was quite clear that they'd contacted Higgins' manager, not Higgins directly, that it was Higgins' manager who was really up for it and knew what was going on, and that the player was literally roped in at the last minute. These two things seem to have been overlooked, though.

                  Even the NOTW has never suggested that Higgins actually agreed to miss balls in a specific frame of even an exhibition match, let alone a meaningful encounter. I find the idea ridiculous seeing as he's already loaded.

                    • Wow....just listened to Ronnie's presser!

                      "When you've got an ex who's trying to **** you over every 5 minutes......" when talking about the cost of his kids school fees. First half of the interview was dull, but eventually he opened up.

                        It's not healthy to practice every year with the same players, variety seems to be the norm, plus they probably could be described as rivals now which has it's issues especially before a big tournament...
                        Don't let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning...

                          • Cant believe I missed recording the second session between ROS and Trump... anyone got pointers to a copy? Maybe PM if you do?Having read about the interesting behaviors and issues I'm kicking myself for missing it and am dead keen to see it.
                            Cheers,
                            Mick

                            • Poor standard, especially from Trump. I think the pressure is getting the better of him. Hopefully he'll show some form in the last session. Ronnie's been there for the taking but Judd's playing like me. No final this year, Judd, unfortunately.
