Who does everybody want to win the first round matches?

Postby SnookerFan

This worked well last year, as evidenced here;

viewtopic.php?f=265&t=3009#p193151

So, just for fun, who does everybody want to win each of the first rounds of the UK Championship? This is not a prediction contest, we aren’t picking who we think will win. Who will we be rooting for in each match? Feel free to explain why in any of the matches.

Judd Trump v Mark Joyce Still not warmed to Judd's personality. Also, I hate the term 'Naughty Snooker'. It's been a year since he said that, and the BBC are still pretending it's the funniest joke ever told. It's not. It's annoying.

Also, I don't like Judd's new hair style.

Ali Carter v Steve Davis Steve Davis He's a legend.

Stuart Bingham v Jack Lisowski It'll be good to see the youth go marching on.

Stephen Maguire v Fergal O’Brien It's Fergal. Does anybody want him to win?

Mark Williams v Mark King Mark Williams is cool. And also, Mark King is a bit too bald for my liking.

Ricky Walden v Luca Brecel I like both. Luca is younger and has potential, but Walden is a good guy. I reguse to bold one winner. Let the best man win.


Graeme Dott v Martin Gould Forum favourite Gould. :happy:

Shaun Murphy v Robert Milkins Same as last year. I like watching Shaun play, as long as I don't have to hear him talk afterwards.

John Higgins v Michael Holt Honest John to silence the boo-boys. Also, I want to see him play Judd again. Not enough to bold Judd earlier in this post, but y'know...

Mark Davis v Cao Yupeng He's just more interesting than Mark Davis. But so are most things.

Matthew Stevens v Dominic Dale He's a legend. And won't bottle stuff.

Mark Allen v Marco Fu Mark Allen is just a bell-end.

Neil Robertson v Tom Ford I think he'd do more in the tournament than Tom Ford

Barry Hawkins v Liang Wenbo About time Liang Wenbo did something in a full ranker. Bazza has already won one.

Ding Junhui v Ryan Day Ding Ding.

Mark Selby v Michael White I just like him better. Also, it'll keep Sonny happy if he goes through.

Judd Trump v Mark Joyce: Not a big fan of either. Only want Judd to go through because it would be funny if he lost to carter again.
Ali Carter v Steve Davis: Sorry Steve, but need Ali to win for my laugh at Judd losing to Carter plan to work.
Stuart Bingham v Jack Lisowski: would be nice to see Bingo go on to bigger things with his PL win, but prefer some young talent that isn’t Judd to start coming through.
Stephen Maguire v Fergal O’Brien: Personally hoping that Maguire does well as I like his game. Also Fergal won’t be fun to watch for too long.
Mark Williams v Mark King: Would be nice to see MJW do well again. Also would be a better watching him against Walden/Luca than it would be if King was involved.
Ricky Walden v Luca Brecel: Nothing against Luca, but Walden another one of those players I like.
Graeme Dott v Martin Gould: Don’t really care. Went with Dott because Gould is Murphy’s lovely lady and won’t be that interesting a last16 match.
Shaun Murphy v Robert Milkins: Like Smurph and he’s likelier to go far in the tournament than Milkins.
John Higgins v Michael Holt: Higgins is best matchplayer around and so good to watch.
Mark Davis v Cao Yupeng: Like Cao and plus good to see some young talent coming through.
Matthew Stevens v Dominic Dale: Don’t really mind, but prefer Stevens as he can play better than Dom and he might add to the latter parts of the event.
Mark Allen v Marco Fu: Despise Allen, like Fu.
Neil Robertson v Tom Ford: ROBBBBBBBOOOO!
Barry Hawkins v Liang Wenbo: Don’t care. Just picked the seed.
Ding Junhui v Ryan Day: Dislike Day and plus high chance of another Selby Ding match :D
Mark Selby v Michael White: Do you have to ask?

<doh> what a hypocritical runt you are

You want Higgins to play Trump but you want Trump to lose his r1 match <doh>

You want King to lose cos hes bald yet you want a man with a syrup, Selby to win <doh>

You want Brecel to beat Walden but are scared to come out of the closet <doh>

You want Selby to win just to keep Sonny happy, why dont you also then want Higgins to lose then, to keep me happy? <doh>

You basically admit Murphy is a bell end but you still want him to win, unlike Allen <doh>


theres loads more of irregularities here but im off to play snooker now so up yer jacksie :wave:

you used the word "turd" more than once, and I felt as the reader, that you lacked imagination or perhaps you lacked a range of words to use. This is commonly known, by those educated, as having a vocabulary. Good evening TurdHead :wave:

Peoples appearance is a particularly good criteria to go by let's keep that going :roll:


It's only a bit of fun, sir. :hatoff: No disrespect is meant to any player. Just a way of getting to know who favours what players. Silly reasons for wanting one player over another is allowed/encouraged.
