Looking forward to it now I must say. The opening day is often an anti-climax in that you only have one match being concluded and it's often never in doubt... this should be an interesting one at least.

I still think Trump's best performance was his semi defeat against Higgins in the Grand Prix.

IMO if Trump wins this it could just be the confidence boost to start him on a roll.

Good luck for the title, Selby is going to be a handful no doubt.

no he started that semi well then peatred out very tamely.

against Ebdon he was solid throughout and no sign of weakness but prior to that Ebdon match i agree on TV Anyway.

and can i say bourne with my buck this and buck that post what i was trying to say and have tried to say all bucking day.

im not interested in what hes done prior to this week here and now is all im interested in because this is where its at Ranking Final and deserving to be there.

im giving the kid a chance based on his play this week nothing else hes done counts rubbish <ok>

all hail Luca Brecel they have to do the buisness no matter how old they are before i get carried away with their talent.

No-one's ever tried to make out he's the finished article, so why do you keep judging him like he should already be in the GOAT list ? Snooker's clearly not a young man's game anymore, so where he is at the moment at his age does stand out in the modern game, no matter what type of spin you try to put on it. This season:
Consistently qualified for events this year, all but one, whereas in the past he's barely qualified for any = progress
Won a PTC title = progress
Climbing the rankings quickly and now reached the top 16 = progress
Beating the best players in the world such as Murphy and Ebdon = progress
Qualified for the Worlds for the first time in 4 years = progress

You'll probably come back with some long-winded waffle about him not doing it 10 years ago like always, but the non-hatahs can appreciate what he's doing now is a solid stepping stone and a sign of things to come <ok>


Well said Sir :hatoff:
