DRAW

ORDER OF PLAY

Should be a great match this, hopefully what the first round matches need.

Come on, Judd! This is a tough match.

I think a lot of people will be fancying Allen for this. But I’m not sure. As much as Judd hasn’t quite found top form for a while, and his TC record seems to be an ever-growing monkey on his back, I think he could busrt into life at any moment.

I’m pretty close to 50/50 on this, with Trump having the slight edge.

Same here.

I think he'll be motivated for this, plus he missed the tournament last year due to Covid.

Can they both lose?

COME ON NOBODY!

I expected the bookies' odds for this to be quite close, but they actually make Trump firm favourite at 4/9, with Allen at 7/4. Of course, this could just reflect that they are taking more money on Judd (although I don't imagine that single matches outside the Worlds attract enough money to shift the odds appreciably).

I have training all week, still from home though so I will still have the Snooker on but I won't be able to post much this afternoon so just in case Judd is losing and a few people say I have disappeared because of that.

My original opinion of Mark Allen: He’s a bit of a tit
Then I really warmed to him, mostly due to seeing him live against Higgins with SF at this very venue
I’m sooo over that now #TeamReanne
I guess that means I’m a Trumpette this afternoon

Wow. SF won't like that. He can't stand Judd.

I support Judd when Yan is knocked out, though.

So, come on, Judd!

That was my magnetic personality and charisma that made him seem better.

Seemed a different week me not being up at the matches this year.

I have a terrible feeling I might start going to the pub more often to play on the quiZ machine.

Falling back into bad habits....

Same, you can never write Allen off from beating anyone, it's just what version turns up really. I think a tree-fiddy bet might be in order.

7/4 Allen looks a decent bet

Judd is being forced to wear a normal neck tie by the Association - how awful for him - he still hasn’t mastered how to do one up properly, the poor lad.

I'm surprised you're old enough to remember that episode.

I never actually saw it live. But nearly all the seasons of South Park are available on Amazon Prime video, and the ones that aren't are not difficult to find elsewhere on the internet.


I love South Park. It's great.

Battle of the divs.

Goddamn Monster. I ain't giving you no tree fiddy.

PMQs before snooker is quite a trudge.

Boris is starting to look very old:

Radzi in da house.

Naaaaa that's tomorrow afternoon and evening.

Judd about Mark Allen. I probably agree with him.

‘He can blow people away, but he’s someone who I feel if I play my best against I’m going to win 10 times out of 10. But if you’re five per cent off, or missing the odd ball you shouldn’t miss he’s up there with John Higgins as one of the players under pressure to make big clearances. He’s a bit tricky in that way.

Jeezus. I could not watch that if you paid me. I don't believe a single word of what any of those w*nkers says. It's just an endless procession of lies and corruption, isn't it?
