Oh rubbish. There's a fly on my TV and the cat is eyeing it up.
She's a lump of a cat too.

Regarding Cahill how he played is not important his cue ball was lose the second session in the maguire match was particularly bad. but he loved it out there and Ronnie did not intimidate him or the menace of Maguire. i can think of top 32 even top 16 players that gets intimidated by Ronnie most of the time Ronnie doesn't need to play that well to win

Yeah - 5-3 would be ridiculous given what actually happened on the table

I like Cahill and I like that he has a character whether you like him or not.
We need players who think they can beat anyone and stir the pot occasionally.

Yeah like Tom Ford, MOD and Zhou Yuelong who should have been disciplined for their lack of moral fibre in the UK (I think it was the UK).

Judd has fallen victim of session Snookeritis here.
He got desperate for 7-1 and it caught him out.

That was not my issue. It was his behaviour afterwards with the media. He dismissed an awful lot of honest and hard-working journalists out there just because the Sun happened to print an article about him that was not to his liking.
He came across as arrogant and entitled. I don't know why we are not allowed to say this? Must we always have to blow smoke up the bloke's backside?

Ding just about hung on. I fear for him though if Judd raises his level even slightly.

Yes - he should follow Ronnie's example when dealing with the media.
Well said Cloud.

I think it's Minister of Defence.
He doesn't exactly have the power and responsibility of an entire Ministry, he's just a temporary manager.

Ding gets back to 5-3. He did well to hang on to Judd's coat-tails somewhat, but I don't see how he can win the match playing like this. A massive improvement is required.

I have always criticized Ronnie too when he's acted a hammer with the press.

You have to say, the players in the bottom half of the draw have all looked like a nervous wreck so far. No one really looked or felt comfortable under pressure out there and no one played to a good standard either.

Nobody's set the tournament alight yet, maybe you could say Robertson has, but he's not played anybody so far that could challenge him.
The standard in general up to this point has been quite poor, as you said.

But Great matches standards are over hyped if anything is.

I could understand why it would make him wary, especially as someone with little experience of the media.
