Now I can start thinking about the Over 40's National Championships I'm playing in tomorrow in Co.Carlow. <laugh>


Cheers John. All the best in your matches.

I have to agree with Dott though. Selby was taking incredibly long for some of his shots especially the last shot.

I don't blame him one bit for taking his time at the end there. His last match for several months, the whole season buiding up to those moments ... he has a right to put every ounce of his will into it surely ?

A little bit of naievety coming out from Graeme Dott there as he didn't need to say that me thinks. World semi's effect people, period, & if someone takes a little bit longer gathering their thoughts then so be it. He certainly hasn't done himself any favours by saying it.

Ashes comes along every two years, might only get one shot for Robbo in a World final !

Wasnt there something as well with Maguire a few years back in a minor comp? Also I read an interview with John Higgins about 2 years ago where he mentioned how he hated "fist pumping" and antics round the table. Its hard to explain really how but to me it seemed like a dig at Robertson.

Ref abuse is wrong...unless it was Len Ganley!

Or me abusing Tabb in some way. :evilgrin:

Fair to say ... Robbo will take that ;)

Well Dott might not be officially top 16, but he is really. Certainly provisionally, Dott has played better than anybody else this week…so regardless of ranking or the name, Robbo will have to beat the form man to win
