Lot's of kicks so far this year...

I was thinking the same compared to the recent events with the "new" polish.
Maybe the wet conditions are affecting the balls/cloth?

You can't play brilliantly all the time, otherwise we would all be World Champion, it's an evil game this, your form deserts you for no apparent reason !!

I do not expect brilliant play either .. but a B C D or E game should be better than this ... I cannot digest that it's just off day ... I have seen Robbo for years n years ... I know what level he plays at on an off day as well

If one cannot do anything .. one can play proper safety instead of giving away sitters every single time

Selby out, Judd out, Robbo playing terribly.

Ladies and gentleman, your 2015 master champion, Ronnie O'Sullivan!

Fu can stop Ronnie

I was thinking the same. I wonder what his odds are.

/feck. I shouldn't have said that last bit. I'm only encouraging brusque.

Exactly. No day is the same for a snooker player.

Frames like frame 4 make me wonder if snooker is a clean sport .... forget that I have a bet on him but I honestly cannot digest the balls Robbo has missed .... I mean come on ... one mistake can be a lapse of concentration or a kick .. but to miss so many easy balls at this level ... kinda fishy .... Stephen Lee did less than this and got stuffed .. poor guy

Whenever I put money on a guy he plays as if he is a club amateur ... Robbo is clearly there to be taken ... I doubt Milkman is the guy to take advantage. At least that is my hope or I will be a very poor guy in a couple of hours

Can't believe Neil is missing what he is missing tbh, obviously an off day for him.

Now there's a point......

I came here to the forum to echo some sentiments which I see others have already posted.

I only get to watch mathes sporadically here and there... today happens to be such a day. Robbo's the one who I most like to watch, so if I see that he's on-tap for a match when I have the time to watch, I try to catch it.

So what I'm saying is this: it's not like I've been able to watch TONS of matches, of Neil's or anyone elses... but amongst those I have seen him play, this is by far the worst I've seen him play. He's (unfortunately, for us Robbo fans) just very, very badly off-form today.

Let's hope he gets his head on straight during the interval, and (should he escape with a win today) have himself better prepared for the next match in a few day's time.

Have you ever played snooker?

the last time I saw Robertson play worst than this was when he tried out the Silver Cup silver/grey or was it tan chalk

[brusque]

I like the crappy scrappy matches almost as much as the top breaks. It's all part of the game and it shows that they are mere mortals as well. As I don't have a financial stake in the outcome. I can enjoy it for what it is. The intriguing ebb and flow of matchplay snooker. You should try the same.

I love "scrappy" frames when I see some classy safety and tactical awareness ... missing sitters that a club player won't hardly makes it exciting.

I am not saying it coz i have money on him but I have really not seen Robbo play worse than this in the past 5 years
