Very underwhelming performance by Trump here. With quite a few big names already gone, this looks like him going out with a whimper. Really will be Ronnie's tournament to lose at that point.

Is Trump trying to lose on purpose or what

I sometimes wonder if the players are just that much better now, or if the pockets are far more accepting. More and more, I see shots being played that don't look like they'll go in, yet they still find the pocket some way or other. Maybe I'm becoming paranoid and the players really have just mastered the art.
Thought I remembered discussing this! Quote from two years ago, and must admit, I'm enjoying the tighter pockets for this year's Worlds. Maybe I'm just a sadist, but I quite like seeing players struggle. :lol:

Well done he’s 13
He’s just a bit dull Jones isn’t he. As a player and a person. Won the biggest game of his life and didn’t even celebrate. At least call Judd a cnut or have a go at the ref so we have something to talk about

I’d have used the opportunity to tell some home truths about Shaun Murphy.

Over corrected by the looks of it. Why do they have to keep messing with something like that out of interest? Imagine if football authorities decided to arbitrarily widen or shrink the goalposts every season because...reasons.

Was it just me who thought it was far from certain ROS could pot that ball with the black spot issue?

Robertson bizarre on comms.

Stephen Maguire is so weird. One snooker needed to keep yourself in the world championsips. Nah, concede.

Read this first -

https://sportingintelligence832.substack.com/p/headline-in-here-please

‘At some point during the next few days, numerous people will take to social media and forums such as Reddit to accuse the four-time world snooker champion John Higgins of being a match-fixing cheat.

By the time you’ve finished reading this, you’ll probably realise there was never any credible evidence to suggest that was the case, and instead he was a victim of a disgraceful entrapment and massive misrepresentation’
I read it

Thanks for linking me to it

It puts him in a better light but there are still holes in it

Bingham will win this I think. Ronnie hasn't got into his stride the whole match, and couldn't push on from the 2 fram lead. these last 2 have been incredible from Bingham just when it looked like Ronnie could run away with it.

I think Bingham will take it as well. Ronnie is brilliant one minute & shite the next. Bingham has been the better player so far. I think the black ball saga unsettled Ronnie & he couldn't get over it.

How does Bingham allow himself to be introduced as ‘ballrun’ Bingham ffs. Basically implying he’s shit and gets lucky

I don't get what that sportmanship thing was all about....? I know Ronnie's capable of class stuff when he wants to, but I just... don't understand how that's gone so viral, you'd think it was Paulo Di Canio picking up the ball or something.

Get ready for the “you don’t see footballers showing that sort of sportsmanship” comments.

Bingham 1 frame away now, there's surely no way back for Ronnie. Bingham is playing with complete confidence in these last few frames.
