I certainly hope so.He seems to have lost that arrogant swagger of old.

I think Robbo will sort this around.

Let's just say it's easier for him to do that than Mags that's for sure. I don't think Robbo's finished as a major title contender.

Cant see him winning a TC atm let alone a ranking tournament.

He should quit his vegan diet and eat some meat. He looks like a skeleton.


There was a time when I thought I might become a vegan. At least when I get older and closer to the 40 year mark (I'm 25 now). But no sir. Your body needs meat as well. I'm obviously not saying eat meat as much as you can.

But you have to find the right balance and do sports and things should be fine.

Just seen Robbos interview on youtube after his first round against Jones. He looks so damn pale and weak.

Let's not forget, a couple of seasons ago John Higgins was "finished as a top player", he has won several trophies since.

People on this site wrote Ronnie off, due to him losing a few games to Michael Holt. Look at his current run of form.

Robbo will turn this round, in my opinion.

of course he will, those writting him off will have egg on face time when he wins a big tournament again, just like Higgins and Ronnie.

Discuss.


He will have a good run at the UK, so yes he'll make it.

Too right.It's not a Steve Peters type mind guru he needs to be talking to.He needs to contact a butcher and put a big order in.And fast.Put a bit of life back into that rickety ole corpse of his.He looks like an extra from Schindlers List.

Two years ago, I said Ding was finished. He has since won two ranking events and produced his two best Crucible performances.

At least eggs and fish.

Re: Dafabet Northern Ireland Open last 32 !!!!

Yes I agree, Leon.

And I dont wanna take anything away from Selby but Robbos dip in form obviously also makes it easier for Selby to keep winning those majors. Robbo has been one of those players who beat Selby regularly.

He's not my favourite player but for Snooker and competition a strong Robertson is quite significant.

me too. I remember he lost only 4-3 v Higgins recently and could well have won that one.

You don't NEED to eat meat because there are viable substitutes for all the nutrition meat gives. I do, however, think that Neil looks constantly unwell, so I question whether he's managing his vegan diet properly.

I'm sure he'll turn it around and win more tournaments. Triple crowns I'm not so sure.

O'Sullivan was ready to go home yesterday. That journeyman he played yesterday was that bad though.

I think that a defeat here will turn out to be a blessing in disguise for O'Sullivan and his chances to win at the UK Championship.

I don't like Marcel, he gives the impression of being really arrogant. That said, it was pretty rude of Ronnie not to give him the room he needed to do his job.
