Just reading the Dominic Dale v Judd Trump Twitter exchange. Dom didn't tag Judd so he's either searched or follows him. Dale commented about Ding controlling the cue ball better. Judd said Dale was clueless. Idiotic of Trump to go online during the interval. Could have cost him the match, certainly cost him the session. I thought he'd grown up a lot, this shows some immaturity still

From who ? The players aren't huge fans of playing in China and looking at the crowds of the China Open and Shanghai Masters, neither are the fans. Always empty and no atmosphere. If anything the argument is for less events in China. Remember too, before this event started there were no Chinese players in the top 16. Sheffield all the way for me.
Look at the International Championship for example. It was meant to be one of the biggest tournaments on the tour, the unofficial 4th major. Not exactly turned out that way has it. Ronnie for me (as ever) is just after attention. Deep down, I honestly don't think he believes what he's saying. |

The so called China explosion of players never really happened Should never move from Sheffield but if it did money would talk and that's where it would move to. However I do not think ding or any other Chinese player will win the worlds anytime soon |

Totally agree but that would be what would happen, the atmosphere is dire in China and the crowd can be quite unsporting at times.

7-1 now.
Has anybody ever won a best of 25 from 0-7 at the Crucible before? |

Not sure Ronnie's up for it. Difficult to tell and probably wrong to judge him on just the match so far but sometimes you just get the feeling he's not feeling it.

That picture of David Attenborough makes him look like a very good contender for next celebrity death.

Both Ronnie and the hawk seem to be hitting top form. Could go either way this.

8-7. This could go all the way (has been pretty high standard)

How many times do the commentators think that 'knocked 3 times but knew the password' is amusing/clever when a pot wobbles before going in?
Fed up of hearing it - apart from anything else, it doesn't even make sense as a sentence anyway....if you knew the password, you wouldn't need to knock at all in the first place?
