Sonny wrote:The difference is Selby was staring defeat in the face and came back into the match with his back firmly against the wall. Robbo was well in the lead and Carter had rubbish luck all night and the last frame wasn't an adrenalinefest so it was an over reaction. But if it means that much to him then fair enough.
14-10 and 15-9 is such a huge difference i think because he had missed a few chances in the last few frameshe felt it was vital and i agree with him

I dont see any problems with Robbo giving it some socks. Fair play to him, I am sure that Carter would possibly do the same if he was in the same position. Go Robbo..

I still think a bit of emotion is a good thing. Robertson is a character, okay maybe his fist pumping was a bit out of order tonight, but normally I'm all for it. It gets that bit of adrenaline into a game

Can't agree with that Monique, Ronnie told Leo he needs his eyes testing, very embarrassing for Leo.
As for Robbo, he has every right, plenty of others do it so whats the problem? Winning that frame basically puts him in the final, he knows it and let it out

monique sticks up for ronnie and is blinded to some of his antics, i used to be like this but now i see ronnie for what he is, im not impressed, wheater i was touching ball or not at the end of the day it was the refs decission and ronnie banging on like that asn't going to change that decission one iota.

Thats harsh to say monique is blinded by him. I just disagreed with her view on that situation. Just like I disagreed with some on the fist pump

Yeah Rocket, we're all entitled to our opinions, and Monique is entitled to stick up for Ronnie. I wouldn't say she's blinded, like Case I just hold a different opinion to her on this situation.

sorry it was abit harsh i'm sorry, just not very good at wording things. the touching ball incident was out of order and anyone saying otherwise is not seeing the full picture

Ronnie was well out of order in that touching ball incident but it's water under the bridge now.

50/1 suggests it's unlikely ...

straight after the last frame i had to go out and just got back thought id read up on the after thoughts on the match and knew the Fist Pumping would create some intrests and boy was i not wrong lol
to be honest it did not sit that well with me fist pumping the difference between 14-10 and 15-9 because no matter how you look at it he was leading so it was unnecessarily in that instance but Monique you cant think that was worst than Telling a 60 year old man in authority he needed Glasses surely. Yes he was well within his right to ask the question and possibly he was within his right to even tell Leo he was Blind but no way on earth what Robbo did was Worst.
anyway back to Fist Pumping i still don't get whats wrong in it i bet Barry Hearn and the sponsors love it and it shows you care about what you do Look back to Steve Davis first WC Win to see how much Barry Hearn loves Fist pumping. People need to get off their High horse and stop being so pompous about it....i love it.

Imagine this scenario - you take an elederly relative or a younger viewer and they see all this fist clenching - not great, in fact it could be seen as off-putting or going too far........
intimidating refs is still far worse
