No, Trump missed shots all over the place in that final I don't think it has anything to do with Neil. But I think Robbo has figured out how to beat Higgins, expect today of course
I think Robertson is a very smart player indeed. I think he knows how to beat pretty much anyone... O'Sullivan, Higgins, Trump, Williams, Ding, there's nobody that I feel is not within Robertson's range.
Very interesting to see how he played against Dott in the 2010 World Final. Robertson played Dott at his own game and won that night.
Robbo just pots the balls and wins the match while other players who have battle scars from previous Higgins defeats miss pressure pots.
yeah i think thats a great way to discribe Robbo .....he doesent carry baggage with him from match to match

That seems to be the case.
Robertson is the worst world champ ever and he will get a sound beating during the UK.

There is no "worst world champion" and even if there was, it wouldn't be Robbo. I don't want him to win the UK but if he does then fair play because he's one of the contenders and has looked in the best form of his life in sustained spells this season.
My wish is for Robertson and Selby to meet in a big match. They've only met in one ranking event which was the Welsh when they were both qualifiers in the qualifiers which Selby won. These are the two big heavyweights of the game yet to have a rivalry and I really hope it happens in the UK and if it does it'll have to be the final. I think it's a genuine possibility.

I'm very confident that Robertson will win another World Title and will end his career as an undisputed great

thats like saying theres no best world champion, and basically that all players are equal
enough of the nandy pandy political correctness nonsense, its a valid debate

Robertson had one of the easiest draws ever, which was the only reason he became world champ. Had Davis not beaten Higgins, he would have received a resounding beating in the quarter final. As it was, he was lucky to beat Gould in the round before that.

He could easily have beaten Higgins. Higgins was in very poor form, and Robertson never looks fazed by him.

Higgins is a much better player. (Even if he is a disgrace to the sport.)

I'm not saying he's better than Higgins, he ain't. Some would even say there's nobody that's ever been as good as Higgins. What I'm saying is that Robertson is still good enough to beat him, and I think he could've beaten him in 2010... if Matthew Stevens, Steve Davis, Ryan Day, Shaun Murphy, Graeme Dott, & Ken Doherty could beat him over 25 frames in the past ten years, then why not Robertson? I don't think they're as good as Higgins either, but they beat him!
Anyway, the fact of the matter is that Robertson won the 2010 World Championship, easy draw or tough draw

This O'Sullivan tweeting is just more attention seeking. He is happy to take the points and money when he wins one, but when he gets hammered by a 'no mark' he throws his toys out of the pram. The boy will never grow up.

Though it's subjective as to what order you put them in, I think it's certainly possible to have a worst world champion. There is however, no such thing as a bad world champion.

Higgins is still plying his trade, unlike The News of The World scum.
Higgins > NOTW scum

And it was in an exhibition event where you'd have to be mad to even contemplate placing a bet or approaching a player to throw a frame. The NOTW journos were thick as buck and demonstrated their complete lack of understanding of snooker and how it works.

'Exhibition' event or not, the bookies gave odds on the World Series of Snooker so the NOTW made the proposal. Mooney bit their hands off 4 a piece of the action and Higgins himself hardly exactly put up much resistance to it did he.
And best player ever bullocks, just like Hendry went AWOL soon as he hut 30, what about Higgins going AWOL for a good 5+ years during what should been his peak years.
