Great! Just got home from work to find even when he gets knocked out of the tournament, we still have to endure Kryten’s presence

Does he actually have one? I hadn't noticed.

TNT Sports is so much better. Kyren's done BBC punditry in the past so not a surprise they're using him again. Have they used Neil Robertson this year yet (I'm exclusively watching on TNT so no idea who the BBC team is)?

Hopefully in the front row? Couldn't bare seeing him in a cheap seat!!

Quote buggered again. 🙄

CC. Yep I’ll never learn . Was saying that FRB was in the audience for the Ronnie match. He’s wearing sunglasses for some reason.

I've not managed to spot him yet, thanks. I wonder if he's had the cataract surgery like your good self. 🤔

He was in the other day without sunglasses so who knows.

You'll never guess.... Same old - Virgo, Taylor, Davis, Doherty, Parrott, Hendry and Murphys been waffling away even though he's still in the Championship! Not heard from Neil yet so not sure if he would have taken the opportunity to head back to Oz for a visit maybe 🤔

Is it me or does anyone else think when Trump starts out at the WC everyone is already casting doubt and saying he must win X amount of world titles to be considered a great?

They have no issues with talking up Murphy or Ding who've won far less than Judd but somehow whatever Trump does go on to achieve in the game it'll never be enough for some!

I think Judd comes, or came, with higher expectation. The media want him to be succeed because his brand of snooker is perceived as exciting, maybe hoping he could fill the void when Ronnie retires. I personally wouldn't consider either Ding or Murphy to be "one of the greats", although they are obviously great players, I think you have to win a few wourdies to be considered for that title. But Judd is still young enough to make it happen.

Yes, bit disappointing, was hoping for a closer finish. We may not have heard the last from Zhou though, hope he makes a decent fist of it tomorrow.
