yes case i think his hair style are abit ott, no offense case but i didn't like mark allen's red hair

Terrible hairstyles can be useful <ok> I once had pretty dodgy blonde highlights, nobody could beat me until I got rid of them. It really was THAT offputting <laugh>

regarding trump i pray im proven wrong i honestly am.

ive known about this kid for about 10 years he was a record breaking youngster at snooker but he is not doing it.....only so long you can say hes 20,hes 21 hes 22 hes 23 hes 24 etc etc for me that bull has finished with. i don't expect him to win tournaments straight away but he is not threatening to do and if someone mentions championship league or the masters qualifier ill :bang2: :gun: theire heads off.

What's Selt done though ?

nothing but thats the point Selt when he plays you get a air of someone that believes he will....i dont get that with trump at all you get that with Allen you get that with cope you even got that with Wenbo but with trump he just going through the motions hasn't any drive or ambition in him.


Well like i've said countless times, different players peak at different times ... He might just need time to gain confidence, belief etc at the big stage because as you say, he hasn't been there enough times really.


i just don't see it in trump as yet he might mature later similar to perry or carter but thats not what the career the snooker world expected for trump and far from it.

What did you expect him to have done by the age he is now ? And don't say 'everyone thought he'd be world number one by now' etc, i'm asking what YOU thought.

When he gets into the top 16 he will start to fly, I don’t think he gets very inspired by the qualifiers, who can blame him? He will get there.

he doesn't get inspired at venues either.

he reached a semi final in the 2008 grand prix.

Dott pulled out, perry played his worst match of last season and as for ronnie he tried his best to lose that match and he almost won it.

Thing is its played in a proper venue where Trump excelled whereas his qualifiers and nearly all of his last 32 match have been in boothes. He is a big match player.

Well yeh, it goes without saying that Selt this season has been twice as good as Trump ... but that doesn't make him a better player full stop.
