Judd?

Failing that, no.

I'd love to see Bingtao take him.


For me either Judd or Ronnie to win the title.

Robbo could be the dark horse if he keeps playing well.


I aint seen Robbo, how is he playing?


He was phenomenal against Ken yesterday. If he kept that form up he would beat anybody, but that is asking a lot.

I am very disappointed at Ding Junhui. He seems to have no interest in being the best.

There seems to be too many events now. And the whole tour has become diluted.



I agree with you.Except for Hawkins.Dont really enjoy watching him play.Far too many robotic numpties.


Maybe it is because Hawkins is left handed that he is easy on the eye. Then again, Mark King is left handed and I wouldn't watch him play unless he was playing a class player.

There seems to be much mediocrity about today. I wonder where snooker will be in another decade.


It will be a sad day when Ronnie finally hangs up his cue.No man is bigger than the sport but if ever a player retiring could hurt a sport then that will be it.

Has Hearn has over-egged the pudding with snooker on almost every other week?


I'm too busy working to tune in quite a lot of the time and but enjoy it when i can.Especially the latter stages.



I agree. There is too much meaningless snooker nowadays. Saturation point has been reached. The UK is now 'just another tournament'. Some events need to go, or at least be reduced to the tennis equivalent of 'Challenger' status.

Might be worth a couple of quid on Bingtao.

Can he maintain that form - as good a three frames as you will see after the MSI

How small was the reduced aisle?


It was a Tesco Express.

Actually, it was reduced to clear.

And White played superb, won 6-1, made the highest break of the tournament thus far, a 142, and another ton as well.

He'll need that sort of form to beat Ronnie.

Fact


Many players do that, it's not that unusual.


I play right handed and always chalk with my left hand.Thought most did the same.

White played and scored really well today. Would highly surprise me though if he played that type of standard against Ronnie in front of the TV-cameras.

So does Allen and Trump. My brother too for that matter.
