World Snooker Championship 2013

Trump giving it the big one saying the way to beat Ronnie is to get in front because if he's behind, he'll crack. He hasn't done it yet. 3-1 down and counting. Come on Ronnie.

[The Golden Eel]

Too much hate on this thread for my liking.

I think that's Trump just trying to get inside Ronnie's mind. It's one of the few places Ronnie can be beaten by mere mortals.

Could very well be true mate. But Ronnie looks on song so far

Yeah, our man Peters seems to have worked wonders on his nut. Shame it wasn't 20 years ago.

[Jairzinho]

Hardly matters who wins this, Ricky Walden will twat them everywhere in the final.

Dennis Taylor is well annoying on commentary.

Why?! I agree, the amount of hate on this thread is ridiculous. I admit i may have directed some towards Ebdon and Murphy, but i have a long standing dislike of them. Dennis Taylor seems like a really decent bloke and i enjoy his commentaries.

[RobbieOR]

Taylor is ace.

[Megadrive Man]

4-4 in the Ronnie v Trump match.

 

Personally I have never understood all the love for Ronnie, if a liverpool player had the same kind of attitude towards football, as he has to snooker he would get slated.

 

Ronnie is credited by some experts as having the most natural ability to ever play the game, yet he can't be arsed most of the time.

He does seem like a nice bloke yea, but he's so quick to say what he's got to say, it gets to me.

 

'Where's the cue ball going?' By the time he's finished his sentence, you can see the cue ball isn't going in the pocket, just wait one more second Dennis.

 

He's well into Trump too which to be honest, is probably just my dislike of Trump, but he said something earlier when Trump cannoned into some reds on the cushion to bring them out, he said it looks brilliant, just before the white hit the reds and didn't move them at all. Just wait one second Dennis and you'll see, it wasn't a brilliant shot, he didn't hit it hard enough.

[RobbieOR]

Are you sure you arent getting him mixed up with John Virgo? Because Dennis Taylor isnt the one who says 'Where's the cue ball going?'

[Guest LFD]

I might not want him to win, but Ronnie is great to watch.

Yes Robbie I am sure. John Virgo doesn't have a copyright on it. I've heard Willie Thorne say it too.

[Mendoza]

Virgo coined the phrase though i think. I don't mind him either (despite the team he supports) or Thorne.

[Acid]

I know he coined it yea, he spoke about it in an earlier tournament how he wanted a catchphrase for when he was on Big Break.

Re: commentators. Not a fan of any of them. None of the are really commentators, they're all, every fucking one of them, wealthy ex pro's getting paid by license fee payers to bore us all. How many does the BBC need? They've signed up a dozen or so ex snooker players as commentators/pundits, and most are dull, boring wankers. Ridiculous.

Ronnie is the greatest to have ever played the game regardless of whether he can be arsed.

[RedBrian84]

Here we go again. Come on Ronnie.

[Acid]

Ronnie with a simple mistake, Judd scores 30. Then Judd makes a simple mistake, Ronnie makes a break of 90. 5-4 Ronnie.

[RedBrian84]

Trump in amongst the reds early doors and blew a great chance by missing a pink to middle. O'Sullivan punished him with a 90 break. 5-4

There's the difference for me. O'Sullivan smells blood and punishes mistakes more than Trump.

[RedBrian84]

Trump showing nerves here. Fucking up middle pockets and his usual forte ling shots.
