BGC Masters Semi Final Discusion !!!!!!!!!!!!!

good to be back case and people yes they do appear to have dennis taylor as their golden boy next time he commentate just watch out for some of the times he changes his mind after a shot has been played before the balls stop to rest

i hope they do bring back thorne and hopefully this just a temporary thing but im looking forward to robertson v judd i would say judd is the number one however this match is much more significant for robertson than it is for trump

if robertson wins this match which i dont expect him to i think these two can have a strong rivalry for the next couple of years however if judd wins he will have a huge psychological edge over robertson and will expect to beat him every time they play it will be three major wins in a row against robertson in the last three majors

i expect judd to score the heavier however robertson the better tactical player but the key will be robertsons positional play when in if he can manage to keep close control he has a chance

JUDD MUST WIN THIS

CANT BEAR THE THOUGHT OF THE parakeet, JONO / WURZEL OR SMUG BIBLEBOY WINNING THIS

Have no fear. Trump will be giving the over-rated Aussie slowcoach a real good kicking.

I can't see any other result than a Judd Trump win this afternoon.

With all my respect I disagree Jojo. When they first appeared Sullivan was beating Higgins in every big tournament.

Whats their head to head in ranking matches nowadays (especially in the big events)? No matter who wins today. We have some great battles to see between these two...

ronnie and higgins came onto the scene together in 1992 they the same age normally when a new player comes onto the scene against an established player in most sports it take a few games before the new player can beat the established player especially when theres a few years difference in age

but it look like judd already has the edge over robertson judd can only get better and robertson nearly 30 so he bang in his prime

Really, really, really looking forward to this match! Pumped up.

Trump v Higgins or Robbo v Higgins - we will get a great final. CCCCCOOOOOMMMMMEEEEE OOOOONNNNNNN

Just a quickie
Why change the cloth for semis and final surely it could not have worn much

robertson positional play so far not up to scratch

Some surprising misses from Judd.

Very nervy start from both.

That's why I asked about cloth, seems they are both struggling

obviously the scrappy frames will suit robertson much more than they will trump

i think looking at these early stages robertson has come out with a plan he will take his time and play measured snooker keeping things tight to possibly frustrate judd

The tip is obviously affecting his game though.

Yes jojo unless trump gets flowing think it could be a very frustrating afternoon

Scrappy start to the match. Let's just hope Robertson doesn't drag Trump down to his level.

TOUGH MATCH-PLAY¬

I'm glad that frame's over.

Hopefully, we can have some fast attacking snooker. (That is more likely to come from Trump than Robbo, who prefers a slow, measured approach.)

Suiting robbo so far

I think now Robbo has had a few range finders with his tip it can't be used as an excuse any more. He seems to be coping with it now.

Yes tip issues should now be done and dusted

already it look like robertson got judd frustrated judd going for lots of long pots and missing them

2-0 robertson and to be honest i can see it being 4-0

2.0 to robbo
Judds out of sorts atm can't seem to get into any kind of rhythm

The way he's going, he may not need to make excuses.

well this is a new kind of test for him as he never really been in trouble for a while since his match against dale when a few flukes rescued him

let see how he responds

Big frame. There's a hell of a difference between a 3-0 lead, and 2-1 lead.

Agreed.

Robbo is as tough as there is these days....

trump has to take this chance.
