I didn't understand that. Nothing good could possibly have come from doing that.

Yeah - it was strange wasn't it.

Could not really affect Judd as it was the MSI

It certainly annoyed him. If Trump had missed one of those tough pots and left an easy chance, everybody would say it is a smart move from Wilson.

Yea Judd was playing a risky frame there.


With his cueing which can be hit and miss it could have been the other way

Should have seen it coming with Carter but thought better of Robbo


Just like Carter, Robertson has always been a pin end.

Robbo basically blamed the table and implied it was because Higgins did not use Taom chalk.

It is on the BetFred site on Youtube

Not that surprising he throws his arms up quite a lot if he thinks there is something wrong with the table. And all the more reason to use cheap chalk. If it's not hurting your game and another player is convinced it's a problem I'd use it. Stuff like that shouldn't be in your head in a quarter final.

I can see that but in a post match interview just give credit to your opponent
