Going by the last frame, saying 10-8 to Ronnie

Ronnie to retire if he wins

Or loses....

It does and I'm not sure what to think with regards a potential winner. Since it's Trump I reckon he'll keep a frame or two ahead and win it. He was looking a bit pensive at times though this afternoon.

Yeah, tough to call a winner. I just about fancy Ron, but he needs a good start to the session. Don’t think Judd will choke if his chance comes.

[robsco]

I’m thinking Ronnie, unless Judd improves in the evening session. 5-3, considering how badly Ronnie played this afternoon, was a huge let off. Ronnie cannot play as poorly in the evening session surely?

I can see him winning the WC if his head is in the right place

[robsco]

I think if he wins the worlds, he’ll retire.

[towser44]

He'll carry on, picking and choosing his tournaments, moaning for moanings sake until he's 60. Whatever he says, he needs to have a purpose and snooker is it.

[towser44]

OUCH! That black for Trump to make it 7-7, now 8-6 Ronald.

[Nova Gyna]

Trump will have nightmares about that black.

[FilH]

Yep that black will hurt!

[towser44]

And now the Brown too!

[towser44]

Trump is going to see this as one that got away from the position he was in.

Cracking final but Trump should have won it being 4-0 up.

Well done ROS - he is a bit of a genius but I'm getting a bit bored now. I used to think he was fun but I'm not so sure now. I'll be supporting anyone else in the next tournament. Literally anyone.

What for? Why? What difference will it make?

So I dont keep seeing the same bloke win.

[Alickadoo]

What I do - if I am allowed to, that is...

I record the snooker, I fast forward through the intelligence insulting chat beforehand, I watch the play, I fast forward through the interval. I turn off at the end of the play.

Job jobbed and no mindless chat to listen to.

Why is that bad? For all of the condemnation of his comments, he is still winning, and the newest generation are falling short. AIUI Trump is one of very few, possibly even the only player with a positive HTH record against Ronnie, but perhaps this has been solved. I cannot understand why Ronnie being at the pinnacle of the sport is viewed as a negative, especially when we were fortunate enough to witness the semi-final against Ding.
