Fuck sake. Robertson played like an absolute arsehole, taking two and three minutes over simple safety shots.

Nah he's entitled to do what he wants in those situations. I don't think there was any gamesmanship from him. 

 

I had it on record so stayed away from this thread. Half 2 I got to bed and that was with a bit for forwarding. Pair of bastards. What a final.

The four minute one where he was working out if he could get through to the pink was taking the piss. If he’d have committed properly to the shot before that he would have cleared up.

I wish he would have just started laying into Trump.

Hate Trump ( both of them ) but ended up slightly wanting him to win due to the carryings-on from Robertson.

Same here. I like Robertson more as a bloke, Trump just seems like an arse but his style of snooker is definitely much more appealing than Robertson's.

[Bjornebye]

Trump is an unbelievable player and if he keeps on his trajectory he could well become the greatest to play but he is a petulant little wanker. Even his interview at the end it was only right at the end he congratulated Robertson because he realised he'd forgotten. Against someone like Trump you can't make the slightest error so Robertson was just doing what he had to do.

 

Ronnie has been coming back to the table when needing about 8 snookers in the last few months just to get his table time up because he says he hasn't been practising. Thats gobshite behaviour. Not taking your time over a difficult shot in a UK Championship final.

That's a bold statement. Hendry had won 7 World title by the time he was Trumps age. Granted he then fell off a cliff for some reason, but still.

Hendry got 'yips'. I think the standard is much higher now. Trump had to work really hard on the sensible side of his game. He's done it and thats why he's mopping up. Hendry is one of the greatest no doubt about it though. 

 

They had a segment about what is the peak age of a snooker player. That was interesting. Trump is about 5 years away from what should be his peak. 

[sh#t waffle]

Up until a couple of years ago Trump still played like a pool player, he seemed to have no snooker brain whatsoever and played as if thinking a few shots ahead was utterly beneath him. I didn't think that was something he'd ever be able to learn, but fair play to him he clearly has. I don't think he'll come close to overtaking Ronnie or Hendry, but he'll win far more than I ever thought possible. That said I think he's a complete prick and I want him to lose every single match he ever plays and generally be really unhappy.

He was just Biden his time to get Trump all riled up. We've seen it before.

[bigthrusts]

Haha Trump playing again tonight in the Scottish Open, if he can stay awake. 

[johnsusername]

Disappointed Judd lost. Don't really like Robertson, the awkward, leaf-eating, Chelsea-supporting Aussie twat. 

 

Still, anything is better than Selby winning. 

[johnsusername]

I love the snooker but I'm always relieved when it's over - it's hard committing to dozens of hours for a week! (Or 2 weeks for the World's).

 

Anyway, looking forward to the Masters now - always something to cheer me up in January.

Scottish open underway on Eurosport now , Snooker is continuous these days

[Bjornebye]

Ronnie 6:2 down to Selby in the Scottish Open final going into tonight. He had a moan to the referee about Selby picking up his water bottle then went and missed an easy red. Sometimes I reckon he does this shit on purpose. 

[Bjornebye]

Selby wins back to back Scottish Opens. Ronnie was poor. Well done the Jester. 

 

Grand Prix starts tomorrow. 

[johnsusername]

Ronnie put in an LFC at Fulham performance. 

 

Fucking Selby. 

[johnsusername]

Bloody hell there's more snooker on this week - the World Grand Prix is currently on ITV4 - Ronnie (looks like he just got out of bed) v Ali "small man syndrome" Carter.

I'm like a pig in shit.

I don't think I could have a pint with Ronnie O'Sullivan. He seems a bit of an arsehole.

He’s the most naturally gifted drinker to ever have a pint. He’d probably walk out halfway through a sentence of yours and before he’d finished his pint anyway because he’s a flawed genius.

He'd stand there looking at the guest ales like this

 

 

Then order a Fosters top and accuse the barman of adjusting the temperature in the pub just to piss him off, tell you he doesn't feel too well then sink 10 pints and 5 large whiskeys in the time it takes you to drink two pints.

Righto, though i think it would be me ignoring him.
