Judd
Judd Trump v. Ali CarterSnooker isn't all about potting balls it's about...snookering your opponent.
And that's what the brilliant Judd Trump did in the final frame of the final session in his match with Carter.
It was all but over when the floppy haired, eye mashing* and determined Trump pulled out every stop in an effort to stop Essex lad Carter's trip into the next round. And oh boy did it make great viewing.
Judd needed 4 snookers, and using all his snooker genius...got 'em, 1...2....3....4 every ball a pure gem, every roar from the entranced audience adding to the thrill of it all and it was only at the final moment when Trump's luck ran out that his come-back was finally, cruelly crushed.
Snooker is a slow game but with players like Trump, Carter and dare I say it...O'Sullivan it can turn from a gentleman's game into a full-blooded, nail-crunching, better -than- a -penalty -shoot -out spectacle.
Ali will now face either Hawkins or Stevens.
Can't wait!
By the way the Plumber visited this afternoon did a quick scan of the bathroom radiator, left me with prices and zoomed off in his Ferrari.
Mr H WILL be pleased:(

By the way I bought the tiniest sweetest loveliest blue budgerigar today. It now sits by the bleach on the kitchen windowsill.
Man City v. Man Utd.
Massive game. City fans would rather win the league. So 6-1 Man Utd is ok?
