2019 World Snooker Championship

[arsalanjami]

Great tournament so far...always dissapointed when ROS goes out early...but he has been making it a habit now at the WC so we should be used to it. WC is EASILY the tournament i look forward to the most...so for Ronnie to go out is never going to ruin it for me...maybe only the day he loses. ROS has spoilt his fans so much with his "God" mode snooker that anything less or when he isn't there they lose the "magic".

Real snooker players know what it takes to play this game at a high level so would always appreciate every player and their styles. Loved or hated, but respected. If you aren't watching, then you certainly are not a fan of the game.

Mouth watering match ups all around past first round. Ok rant over - enjoy your snooker

That fifth frame between Higgins and Robertson was easily my favourite frame of this World Championship so far.

You are Clive Everton and I claim my five pounds.

Well, to be fair, he's better looking than me. But thanks.

Looking through the lens of nostalgia only serves to distort the past to the detriment of the present.

If I were Trump, I'd give Mags a frame or two, wouldn't want him following me out to the car park after the match. :black_eyed:

Go home Maguire. This is pointless.

Trump can't take his foot off the gas

Trump v Robbo final would be epic

It wouldn't last very long would it.

Maguire on the end of a thumping so far.

And I bet he’s doing his usual smirking all the way through it.

What I really enjoy seeing in a player, is the hunger in their eyes to win and the tenacity to believe that they can!

Gary has that in spades, looks like he knows how lucky he is to be there and what a great opportunity he has to go further.

Gary Wilson has played brilliantly to get this far, and more than deserves his placing, but it will all be for nothing if he doesn’t carry this form through to future tournaments. He now needs to go on and prove this run at the WC hasn’t been a one-off.

Maybe it is the characters that is missing from the game in general . I watched since the early 80's , so we were blessed with characters back then .

Apologies. I was in a bad mood this morning.

I'd say Trump is doing a better job of master class, 4-0 419 points to Maguire's 24, 117 balls to 7 - pretty good start there

+1 To that!

I've no doubt Carter will try and help him out, by whining and getting spiky about the rub of the green etc etc.... Fairly certain Gary will revel in all that nonsense.

Completely agree!

Btw what a masterclass so far from Robertson...
