Jimmy should never have been given another tour card. Don't like those free ride cards, but if they're handing them out at least give them to a player with a chance of doing something.
Mark Allen was firmly against it.

Good stuff from Robbo, nice to see he has maintained his form from the TC. Could this be his year?

Don't get fooled by a good start from Robbo, we all know how this has ended many times.
But better to start well than bad, I guess.

Been listening to him for about 10 mins and he seems decent enough.

Well, he's won the first three frames of the seventy one that he needs to be champion.

I think the semi-final lineup is going to be Ronnie vs Selby and Robertson vs Trump.

Not so sure about Selby, has a tough draw in his quarter.

The only one I can see troubling him is Higgins. Williams hasn't done much lately, and Allen has a poor record at the World Championship.

Robbo v Ronnie Final, that's my ideal one.

lol the way this is going Liang might not even win 5 frames like he did last year. And there was me thinking he could make it closer.

Williams has won a ranker and has been playing some good stuff since the turn of the year.

The fact that Robertson has only won the WC once is beyond ridiculous.

Yeah but it was only the Pro Series, which arguably should not be counted as a ranking event. It would be nice to be proved wrong, but I don't see Williams as a threat to Higgins or Selby right now.

Is it just me or does the crowd seem to be applauding way less frequently than in the past?

Nah, thought I'd wait until I knew it was safe. Might consider where the English Open is this year. If not Bolton or York.
Just depends on the state of the pandemic. Don't fancy all this taking tests and wearing masks either.

Only 33% of people there, or maybe not even that number.

I like posters who specialize in cliches and simply repeating popular opinions previously-expressed by other posters.
