You see wild, this in my book was a good session. It had it all: it was quality, it was close, the momentum switched between the players.
You said yesterday that the fact that both players were missing made it exciting because anything could happen. Ok, I see your point. But here both were playing well overall and when that happens it makes the safety battles more exciting/tense because you know that whoever wins them is likely to win the frame, so there is more at stake than when you expect them to get any number of chances.
It's not a matter of you or me or anyone being right or wrong or not enough of a fan. It's a matter of taste and what makes us tick.

He was just outplayed this morning for a four frame period. I think some people just can't believe that he's losing to Robbo and are looking for excuses.

Well he was only 12-9 up on Higgins and was outplayed by him in the second day of the World Final and in Shanghai. He didn't bottle, he just wasn't good enough. Again he was outplayed by Maguire and he still won against Allen so he didn't bottle those.
I'll give you the match against Carter though.

regardless of how well an opponent plays anyone losing a 7-2 lead in a bo19 bottles it to an extent,
If you play the game, youll know what i mean

Expect Robertson to beat the transitional world number 1. Even Carlos Moya became number one, but in a different sport.

[sarcasm] From 2-0
I can see why you're worried. Judd gave up such a seemingly insurmountable position. [/sarcasm]
Get a sense of perspective for buck's sake.

Going on about bottling is just a sad way of diverting from the other player playing great because you dont happen to like the opponent.
the definition of bottling is stevens

This is unfair Wild. Remember Trump has an immaculate record against Marcus Campbell.

Robbo needs to make something happen quickly before he is out of this final.

Losing 6 world finals, two of which he should have won in 92 and 94, says to me something different.
but you know nothing

Why does Judd try to play right handed? He's rubbish at it.

playing over a pack would be difficult left handed so he deserves to lose the frame just for that shot

Robbo levels 6-6. This table is starting to look dodgy, even to someone like me who doesn't usually notice things like this.
