That's the reason why Trump was moaning.
And that's the reason why Ronnie thinks it makes it more exciting.
Put Lewis Hamilton in a slow car and he’s rubbish.
Put Judd Trump on a slow table and he’s rubbish.
Similarly unlovable sportsmen.

5-0 was looking very likely.
Alex here was the one who said he expected Ford to win, and fold like a cheap tent tomorrow.
I had a cheap tent once, was very tricky to fold.

Certainly more combative and watchable snooker... and not so many centuries being made. It may not be popular with all the players but I believe it's better for the game.

I'm all for making the conditions more difficult. They should tighten the pockets too whilst they're at it.

Yeah it’s probably better for creating a more open game. And the absolute best players find it less of an issue, because they’ve been at it long enough to become masters of the game without relying on identikit breaks.
