Love a bit of early morning snooker, me. Though without the hangover. Loved watching snooker at 7am when the China was on. :D This will feel like a lie-in at 10am.

When you're at The Crucible though, it does give you a chance to go down and get fried breakfast and stuff. Some days, I'll probably pop to the cafe and get a breakfast in, and make it back by 10am, just to replicate that feeling. May leave that to my week off.

Reckon the pubs will be open for the 7pm session on Easter Sunday? :chin: Breakfast, back for 10am, watch two sessions, out again for a Sunday Roast and a pint in the evening, after the football has finished. :bowdown:

AGREE

this beats Ronnie v Maguire of 2005 and the only other match having gone through wiki for the opening day featuring the defending champion was 1985 Steve Davis v Neal Foulds.

but for me Robbo v Trump beats everything

Anybody read The Metro? (The free paper you get at train stations.) There was a couple of paragraphs on Judd Trump, before the World Championship. Judd was claiming he's postponed the celebrations for winning China until after The Crucible, so he can concentrate fully on making good progress at Sheffield.

I think Bourne in particular would like the article. After one of the Trump quotes, it followed; "who opens the tournament on Saturday against reigning champion Neil Robertson." (Not the other way aroud).

But by far the most blinding quote from the article was; "Trump (pictured) says he is full of confidence after beating Stephen Maguire 10-8 to win the first major of his career." <doh>

It was only two paragraphs long. They stuck it at the end of the sports section, after the Man U vs Chelsea result. I know it's a free paper, but you'd think they could go two paragraphs without making such a blinding error. <laugh> You can't expect that they've watched every second of every sporting contest in the world, but surely anybody with access to google could look up the results to the final of the China Open, to double check who Trump beat in the final. rofl

It's shocking though, isn't it? That suggests the people reporting on the match care so little about snooker, and about Trump, they don't care who he beats in the final.

Fair play Robbo is trying to deflect the pressure onto Judd, I expected that. But there's no way he can go into this match feeling the same 'freedom' as Trump does, the defending world champion is the main draw in that match and he's had a poor season so needs a run here. Trump has just won a title and exceeded most expectations from a month or two back, so no matter what he does here he can be content, top 16 assured.

All talk is irrelevant its all on who performs on the day

robbo has do to alot of interviews as defending champion so he is telling it how he sees it
