What a start from Ding, I hope Alan's chair is comfortable.

Well what a start from Ding. Hoping Alan can get the next couple of frames...just to keep Ding from running away with the match.

[DeanH]

he mentions golf so he gets invites to play for free all over the place

did I hear Steven Hendry saying "...one of the nicest people you could meet..."? he got it in before DT could :biggrin:

[trains]

I think Taylor keeps referring to golf as a way of platforming his social status,I've muted virtually all of this years WC commentary and all the better for it,thats just me though.

Yes good interview but made me laugh when Alan said the way Ding conducts himself is a real class quality guy.
I suppose that includes Ding's post UK Championship 2015 interview which has mysteriously vanished down the memory plughole?

I actually had forgotten about this. Hard to imagine ding saying this stuff.

I'm no fan of Golf either, I will watch the last day of the Masters though, it's traditional.

[wake_up_bomb]

I probably would have put it in not so many words exactly but I do agree...please stop the boring golf tidbits...don't care for it one bit

It gets my goat because I hate golf. I don't, to some extent, mind them interviewing the Masters champion, but *mobile phones goes off*...do you know at the Masters you're not allowed to take a mobile phone on to the course, Stephen? So what? What does that have to do with anything?

[PatBlock]

Century start for Ding, and they way he went about it, I'm feeling a little nervous for Allan...

Dennis, you're undoubtedly a nice fellow, and I know you will never read this, but there's something I need to get off my chest.

****ING STOP GOING ON ABOUT ****ING GOLF ALL THE TIME, I ****ING HATE THE GAME, NO-ONE GIVES A **** ABOUT THE ****ING MASTERS AND AUGUSTA ****ING COUNTRY CLUB!!!!

Thanks.

Well Ding does conduct himself very classy and respectful towards his opponents...at least nowadays he definitely does.

I just saw the interview as well. Alan is a very special guy, the way he talks about the game just shows the love he has for it, for the fans, and especially for The Crucible as well. He's also such an wonderfully open, sweet and friendly guy, even with the press...he actually said (tongue in cheek) that he liked hanging out with them better than with DT or WT (no surprise there haha ) He also said he needed to go and book a hotel for the remaining days as he needs to check out of his current room today...brilliant

As Holt said earlier about MJW...I just love the guy.
