vegas-voss Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 It won't be good for the game if it's dominated by the Chinese. Nobody outside of China will be interested in it.There was hardly anybody interested in it outside of the UK when it was at its peak.It's hardly a global sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorian Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Murphy was jammy. 9-5 up and Yan got back to 9-8 and well ahead in frame 18. Murphy was rocking but fluked a red to clear up and win. Think he plays O'Sullivan next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chinese love it so let them have it. The World Championship has been held in the UK since time began. If it wasn't popular then why is it still being played here and indeed at The Crucible until 2025. Hearn tapped in to the Chinese market - he's not daft when it comes to skinning a cat.

Maroon Sailor Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 Pish poor session up to now between Trump and McLeod Worse thing to happen in this match was for Trump to blitz the first 4 frames. He then tried to win the match as quickly as possible but McLeod wore him down. McLeod can't pot for toffee from distance but scrappy frames are not Trump's forte. Just needs to get through this round and I'm sure he will be in the final as he'll play better against the better players. 6-6 just waiting for Trump to kick on now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be the first time a match involving McLeod has spilled over in to an extra session Had the misfortune at being in The Crucible when he was playing Ricky Walden in 2011 and the ref had to take them off so the afternoon spectators could get in for their session.

Maroon Sailor Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 Would LOVE it if Trumpet goes out. Massively over-rated. The first 4 frames of this match demonstrated how good a player he is when he is in full flow. His Achilles heel is when he gets bogged down in scrappy frames.

His Achilles heel is when he gets bogged down in scrappy frames. Something he will have to work on if he isn't to become another Jimmy White Don't get me wrong, he is obviously a good player but he is hyped beyond belief. All the talk that he was going to do this and that in the game...isn't it 5 years since he reached the final? And it's not like he's winning that much else. Sure I read just last week saying how he could handle the 'favourite' tag. He seems even more mentally flaky than Ronnie but at least Ronnie has the trophies to back everything up.

Chester™ Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 The hype around Trump is unwarranted. As Johnson and Hendry continually point out, he still makes the same mistakes he did when he first went on tour, coupled with struggling often with the mental side of things, especially when its not going his way.
