It wasn't quite on par with the 85 black ball frame in terms of tension (purely down to that being the world final), but some of those snookers Trump played were up there with Reardon's best, I bet Carter won't be calling him simple minded again. I've never seen a player look so dejected either, Trump looked more gutted than he did when he lost the world final. I think he believed his own hype to an extent, and honestly thought another final was in the offing. The top half of the draw has been blown wide open now: Maguire is the best player left, Carter knocked out the favourite, and Hendry is playing the best snooker, so that means that either Higginson or Jamie Jones will reach the final!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-30631934745204419412012-04-30T14:36:57.311+01:002012-04-30T14:36:57.311+01:00best post youve ever made on here KCbest post youve ever made on here KCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-83428671695701879512012-04-30T12:47:13.118+01:002012-04-30T12:47:13.118+01:00How things change: this time around Ronnie will ha...How things change: this time around Ronnie will have to get to the semi-final until everyone starts considering him favourite for the title.

Nobody says it was bad luck. If the balls run safe however, you hear the cries of rubs, luck etc.kildare cuemannoreply@blogger.com
