Judd’s pathetic handshake after the second session

It was a fantastic match between 2 young talents, Judd was 21 and Ding had just turned 24. It's a match that could have gone either way but Judd played very well last few frames. I'm sure many people felt both would win the World Championship, so far only one has.

Was it Ding?

A match of the highest quality and the closer and more tense it got in the last session the better the standard got.

Ding has won tournaments playing a lot worse than he did in this match but there could only be one winner.

I wonder if the effort used by Trump in this match contributed to his poorer performance in day 2 of the final?

I was at the final of that year. What a good couple of weeks the 2011 Crucible was.

I ended up having a drink with Roland after the second day. And the girl from the front row who created quite a stir on the forum that year.

His twitter accounts (snookerisland and snookeroland) have been suspended for breaching twitters rules?

Anyone one know what the hell happened here?

He was a sock account of a former poster called Coland (RIP).

I'm confused as to why that would get him banned from twitter?

And why him having a sock account on his own forum would matter at all? I've known loads of admins do it?

Did I miss a few things in my enforced absence here?

Genuinely no idea whats so funny? He owns the site, him having a sock account means nothing, I'm more interested in what he did to snake hiss of twitter to the point of being banned on both accounts?

You need to put a warning about the kind of company Peter Ebdon keeps politically on twitter next time you mention his twitter handle, I've just ended up with a bucking migraine fielding them off. Actually on the verge of deleting my twitter account to avoid seeing any more of these idiots.
