I like Donaldson. He's limited by the highest standards, but he looks like one of those players who'll make the most of every last ounce of talent he has. You can only respect that.

That will put some pressure on Judd.

Or pre-2011 Graeme Dott, back when he didn't care about the opinions of eejits.

this is not the worst semi debut ive seen even Hendry won only 4 frames in 2 Best of 17 frame semi finals at the start of career losing 9-3 to Steve Davis and 9-1 to Cliff Thorburn.

It's as I thought. Judd never had to get out of second gear to still win fairly comfortably.

Scott managed to take his chances better towards the end, hopefully he can learn from this experience.
Judd never played like there was any chance he could lose the match.

Of course it wasn't. He lost 6-3, he didn't disgrace himself.

Has to be said, though Eurosport did well at The Masters, their coverage has been weak as buck this week.
Colin Murray is a bellend, and *unpopular opinion alert* Ronnie adds nothing.

Ronnie has been surprisingly good as a pundit.

My biggest issue has been the idiot director who is responsible the pictures we receive on TV.

I find him to flick between generic stating the obvious "He'll have to play well to win this match", to gross overstatemet/hyperbole "This teenager who is a prospect.... IS GOING TO WIN EIGHT WORLD TITLES!"

Not getting the hate for Donaldson. We give out all the time about players not playing to their potential, whereas I think Donaldson is giving it 100%, what else can he do.

Agreed. Again.
That's about four times since Friday.

Five Guys Burgers And Fries restaurant charged me £15 for a burger, fries and refillable drink. Then had the audacity to have a tip jar.

Hope the burger was good for that price.

It was pretty mediocre. Chips were nice.

Good crowds this week. People were going a bit nuts after Preston saying attendances are always poor in the UK nowadays but that's wholly untrue. Only Manchester and Preston had bad UK attendances this season.

Great clearance by Bingham, but the difference in class between the two players is like night and day.
Milkins missing two easy cannons altogether, a black off the spot and awful cue ball control to throw that frame away.

Milkins' cueball control is atrocious.
