His thoughtful insight and understanding of the game makes a refreshing change from 'where's the cue ball going' Virgo and 'he's just gone favourite' Thorne. I would like to hear more from him in the future, though would welcome a return to his playing form to prevent this of course.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-91112524868278626742011-01-16T16:38:35.280+00:002011-01-16T16:38:35.280+00:00Rob walker is like a robot how anyone could expect...Rob walker is like a robot how anyone could expect a talentless guy like him to get fans upbeat is beyond me.We need the chinese influence and there money,i have a few friends who are professional snooker players and if outside top 16 it is hard to make a living.Look at the logos on waistcoats,almost all chinese.

I vote for the Masters, Worlds, Welsh and 6 PTC's to stay in the UK, the rest moves away to other countries in Europe. Especially the World Open HAS to move away!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-86126365622759152302011-01-16T13:55:13.044+00:002011-01-16T13:55:13.044+00:00I don't think it's a coincidence that the ...I don't think it's a coincidence that the two men who made the final are the two men who don't celebrate Christmas...I honestly believe the reason the tournament was so poor is because the players didn't have sufficient preparation time for it.<br /><br />As for Ding and Fu, both players deserve to be in the final; Ding is playing like a champion and Fu proved yesterday he's playing well enough to give Ding a game.Betty Logannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-43289340749399954682011-01-16T13:50:44.820+00:002011-01-16T13:50:44.820+00:00Is this the first sure sign of snooker becoming th...Is this the first sure sign of snooker becoming the next badminton? If the shift happens then the slow death of UK interest will be due to the powers that be being so keen on pushing the sport the the East. Focus on the enormous interest in Europe make it grow here instead of this defeatist attitude. It is sad to watch and this is one of the least exciting finals to ever face us.<br /><br />We are not there yet but in the coming decades Rob Walker may just simply announce: bring out the robots.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
