Looking forward to see if Trump can keep his composure this evening.

Does tend to have a bit of a walkabout nature at times.

He has been remarkably composed so far in the competition.

Agreed, a change for the better.

Amazing turnaround in that final frame before t'interval! Funny old game innit!

[Pericoloso]

These 2 really are missing sitters as Dennis said.

If Ronnie's A game turns up tomorrow ,it'll be like Real Madrid vs an ageing pub team.

didn't see this match but saw a few frame of the ronnie match and those were a bit tatty.

I think the masters they face such high quality opposition from the start and continuously with no breaks/gimmes its about who's got the stamina to keep their game.

I was thinking that as well, Trump v Robertson they were both missing easy pots.

Now at 14:02 on Sunday Ronnie is playing like both of them did combined.

Can he come back?

[Gandahar]

Very, very good frame from Trump, that double pot and he never looked back.


Amazing first session. Will Ronnie implode or explode to win ?

[Jakarta]

Ronnie didn't look happy on the table at all this first session.

[silverfoxcc]

Did i mishear the commentators just now Ronnie had put a red into the pack and i am sure the ref called touching ball. I thought that the touched ball could not be moved, but Judd certainly shifted it.
If touching was called should that have been a foul?

Interesting to know what the rules gurus say, As i said, i am not 1005 familiar with them

[Jakarta]

The commentators said no touching ball.

Amateur punditry at it's best .

I only saw about 15 minutes of the final but I guess Ronnie just didn't turn up.

Did see some pots in a play break and he missed an easy red.

[Stan the Bat]

He didn't play anywhere near his best, but Trump played a great match.

I was interested to learn that a maximum break is 155. I had to Google to check & find out how!

There is a video around somewhere of Jimmy White ( I think) getting one.

Not in a competition, but in a practice session.

Alex Higgins maybe?

[Stan the Bat]

No, wasn't Higgins.
