The way Rob Milkins plays snooker make me laugh, and I don't mean that in a derogatory sense. It's almost like he doesn't have the patience to stand about working out the correct shot to play, so just gets down, pots the ball and deals with the next shot from wherever the cue ball decides to finish.

Had to laugh at the "taxi for a numpty" would have been hilarious if that had happened and got recorded.
He certainly has all the talent and to be fair, the remark was probably taken out of context.........still tempting though.

re tip: Selby said there wasn't enough to get through the Tournament, and White agreed.....

I'm not sure if his tip is just worn by the time he reaches the World Championships or he just likes to play with a thin depth tip.
His tip this year is pretty much a replica of the one that chipped in last years competition, it would be interesting to know which tip he uses.
It isn't a great chink out of the top of the tip but it is exactly where you don't want it to be about 12 0'clock.
If you look at most pros tips, the ones that aren't perfect are always worn right at the top so a chunk out of it will get in his head I would think as it certainly did last year, hard not to.
You can only hope that his team (and they are a good one) after last years issues have a couple they have worn in and cut off so's not to repeat last years problems.

But then again, considering how horribly I've misjudged things in this Championship so far, I could be wrong again... :smile:
