ANTHONY HAMILTON HAS PULLED OUT OF THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS DUE TO HEALTH CONCERNS
what was the point in him going through Qualifiers just to pull out, he knew a crowd was gonna be there its been known for a couple of weeks about 300 people were gonna be let in
Sam Craigie and Scott Donaldson will be fuming lol
I can't criticise him at all. He's been saying for a few days he's not happy about the audience being there and now he's decided not to risk his health. Yes, he could have decided earlier but have you never changed your mind?
"I have been around the game long enough to know that if there is a World Championship coming up, he [O'Sullivan] is going to try to get the headlines
Which was exactly what I thought when I saw the BBC story about O'Sullivan, it was 2 days before the tournament was starting and people were not taking about him lol
As ever Team Ronnie here, they have been very strict in previous events. There shouldnt be a crowd really, whilst i do think its bad for the game Hamilton pulling out, but its his choice and Barry Hearn has gone way OTT publicly slating him, Hearn is a self centred twat and only worried about selling tickets, making money and not the players.
Anyway moving on, not long now! i am looking forward to it, Trump v Ford could be a good game to kick off with.
I don't rate Ford at all, I don't think I've ever seen him play well. Trump will have a slightly more difficult first round than Wilson. I hope he proves me wrong as I can't stand Trump.

I didn't and dont particularly like him but know he can turn up, has a few 147 so his scoring isnt the problem.
I dont expect Trump to have too big a problem against Ford, but the opening day at the crucible has a habit of doing funny things to defending champions
Game on! this is the perfect set up for a contest, still have a feeling once Trump is underway but stranger things have happen, would be a massive shock like similar to Cahill beating Ronnie last year.
I should say in 2014 World Championship one of the 3 previous events that Tom Ford qualified for and lost in the first round he actually faced Trump and lost 10-8.
I wonder if we could have the same scoreline today

They also stated before he beat him in qualifying for the crucible which was a race to 10. Its not impossible, just needs to keep Judd quiet. Once trump gets in he is unstoppable sometimes, a bit nervy early on here Ford needs to make the most of it.

Any score predictions @paulie8290 Just for fun?
Bingham beats Carty 10-4
Players like Trump haven't played for a month now, and how will players like Carty cope in fact how wil everyone cope with the weird setup
What i will say is the odds are ridiculous imo
Things like Selby being 1/14 against Jordan Brown
Or Bingham 1/12 against Carty
Its not like the players they are against have no chance, like I said I think its all about how these players cope with the circumstances
8 reds
8 blacks
Tom Ford
10 blacks
11 blacks
12 blacks
And mised the 13th black
But what a start to the World Championships
I wonder if we could have the same scoreline today
