I've always said Trump is overrated! Yes, his game has improved, but he still plays more recovery shots to gain position that most players!
The hot shot new kid on the block has gone now ![]() I guessed you didn't like him on Sunday when you claimed Trump "wasn't bothered about winning" and "making less effort" but to say he has gone is a bit silly. |

I mean he only hit 82 centuries last season - what a load of crap 😛
I see the live draw for the International Championship predictably went pear shaped with players in the wrong part of the draw. Be interesting to see what Wolrd Snooker do about it - I assume they can't leave it as it is with top 16 players due to meet each other at last 64 stage... |

The draw stays the same ( in terms of who plays who in Round 1 ) but the draw order has amended so two top 16 players cannot meet in round 2 as was the original cock up

Yep that's about the gist of it. Statement from World Snooker:

Sad to hear of the passing of former world quarter finalist and renowned commentator Jim Meadowcroft

Has anyone been watching the 2015 World Cup of Pool?
It's been a very entertaining tournament. It's the final tonight and it's close as hell. |

I watched the final. I enjoyed it. England should have won from 5-1 up. I do quite enjoy 9-ball, not too fussed about 8-ball to be honest.
anyway, back to snooker?

Next snooker on tv is presumably the Ruhr Open in Germany on Eurosport from Weds October 7th. Feels like ages away to me

Yeah ordinarily I wouldn't be too bothered but as this is a flat 128 draw it's a chance to see the big guns from the get-go. Or gecko, if you watch Dave Gorman.

Incredible result in the International Championship Qualifiers. Judd Trump losing 6-0 to amateur Michael Wild.

Incredible result though nonetheless. People on Twitter quick to wonder what went wrong for Judd though and wondering if he wasn't interested in a flight to China. I say give Michael some credit, best victory of his career. good luck to him in China. |

Trump
To be fair Trump probably didn't try all that hard maybe? Sometimes when you play someone who is of a lower ranking, you don't always focus as much.
Then again, he could of thrown the match! I'll probably get flack for saying that, but everyone knows it goes on and I'm not taking about being payed to throw matches. Last edited by ontheradio : 04-10-2015 at 11:06. Reason: Spelling |

Sorry but you are talking rubbish. Trump is not over rated, he is a quality player and he is certainly NOT FINISHED

^ He's already been world number one to be fair....and has played better than Robbo this last calendar year and at time of writing is the second highest earner for the 2015/16 season. So he's not doing so badly.
