Slightly iffier with Ding, I admit, as he lacks a World Championship.

Maybe, on the subject of nationalities, I was looking back at all the Canadian players who used to play at the Crucible, there were more than many think, Canadian snooker is a mere shadow of it's former self.

Yes. What I meant was, he wouldn't be destroyed if he met Ding because the latter always finds it extraordinarily difficult against him.

Don't worry. Ding won't be there. He will be royally thumped by your favourite player Trump.

Of course I won't worry. As if Tramp winning/losing has anything to do with me

Clara who are you supporting now that Selby is out?

I found it quite ironic these quotes from Robbo:

"Last year I peaked a bit too early, this time I’m building up nicely."

Errmmm, Robbo seems to be oblivious to the fact he has by far played the best stuff of tournament so far.

I'd like Ding to win it for the first time.

Just because he's playing the best out of anyone doesn't necessarily mean he's playing his peak stuff. He's pretty close, but personally I think he played better last year from what I've seen.

I agree he played great v allen in last session then still only lost a close 1 to Selby so he has more to come

Robbo has an easy draw this year (thanks to Selby's failure). Would be surprised if he doesn't make the final.

However, can see Trump or Ronnie teaching him a snooker lesson in the final.

Robertson's a very good player, definite contender for the title. I think he's not far off being one of the top 10 players of all time. His game does not excite me at all though.

Good choice, I hope he can beat Trump.
He going to have to start better than he has so far.

Tuesday 28th of April

10am

Anthony McGill v Shaun Murphy Murphy leads 3-0



I obviously hope,but i also really think he can pull it off and beat Murphy.





Ding Junhui v Judd Trump Ding leads 6-5


In this one i,m gonna go for Trump.

I think Trump is so fired up for this one,not that Ding also isn,t,but i just have a feelin that he,ll edge out Ding.






2:30pm

Barry Hawkins v Neil Robertson Robertson leads 7-5


Robbo,s been the man of the tourney so far,but the BIG question is,can he keep this excellent form up.

Even if he goes down a gear,i still think he,ll be too much for Hawkins.





Stuart Bingham v Ronnie O'Sullivan O'Sullivan leads 11-2



We all know how Stu normaly performs against Ronnie and i can,t see him performin any diffrent in this match,if it was another tourney,maybe,but not at the worlds.

It would be buckin brilliant if he were to prove me and millions of others wrong though.
His only real chance,ll be,if he bumps into an off,or offsong-ish Ronnie and he produces his A game.
He really does have to produce his A game,a B+ won,t be enough.




My preferences to win are (pretty much) who i think will win,....

,.....McGill,Trump,Robbo and Bingham.



I like Ding,but i,d rather that Trump would win,simply due to the fact that he,d have a better chance of beatin Ronnie.

Dings improved,no doubt,but i just think he,d lose,or even crumble against Ronnie.

Your medal's in the post.

“When the draw came out and I saw I could play Ali if we both got through the first round, I thought it was the hardest second round match I could have had,” said 33-year-old Robertson.

Wtf neil. Is he mad?

SnookerFan wrote:Okay, here are my proclamations.

Murphy and McGill is 50/50. People will say it's not, but they said he had no chance of beating Selby.

Judd Trump will beat Ding.

Neil Robertson will make the final.

Ronnie O'Sullivan will not beat Trump. And if he does, he won't beat Robertson.


These are all certain. You might as well stop watching the tournament now.

I don't think Trump is playing well enough to beat ROS. In fact, his match against Ding will likely be a close one.

McGill will beat the red smurph and Ding will beat the burger boy.

Fantastic milestone. Your t-shirt and commemorative mug are in the post I'm sure.

McGill will beat the red smurph and Ding will beat the burger boy.

Wtf does smurf look like in that suit ?. The kn*b he is

Why isnt neil playing back to back sessions tomorrow but ronnie is?
