knew someone would pick up on that, should have guessed it would have been you!Trump playing every shot too softly
Just about did it. I might be wrong but I’m pretty sure Ronnie has never really been pushed in a world final, so a close final would be nice.
Also as a man with quickly thinning hair, I’ve got to back Trump. A win for him is a win for us all!
Ronnie has missed more balls today than he has in the whole tournament. Just very fidgety
Ronnie not taking his chances like he was. Still rather be three up than down
What a let off for Judd from Ronnie, winning this session was important.
fecking hell that blue
Ronnie is killing me. I feel like he'll lose this match... 
Ronnie's very nervous.... I think
Ronnie looks in trouble to me. At the moment I'd back Trump, despite the deficit.
Beavis and Butthead in the commentary
Judd getting all the run at the moment
I'm not sure how common this is but I get huge satisfaction from watching intense safety battles and no pleasure whatsoever from watching someone clear up so two nervous players in the run-in would be ideal from my perspective.
Yeah Ronnie's not be getting any luck this session.
Best of 35, it’s inevitable that each player has peaks and troughs.
At least it makes tonights session worth watching.
Nice jinx

We'll see. If Trump gets this last frame, he's definitely still in it.Come on Ronnie

Red drops in. Silence.
Joy.

That fluke.
Yup just crazy
What a fluke that was, so lucky.
Massive fluke but tbf Ronnie was very fortunate not to leave an easier red by getting a lucky kiss on the pink.
Now that's what you call a fluke. This should take it to 14-11 and a crazy finish.
Great fluke for Trump which left him amongst the reds and now ends the session 14-11, game on. Ronnie needs this break to get his head together. Silly misses allowed Trump back in, always a possibility with Ronnie, can go from genius to shocking quickly.
Indeed. Shit snooker is the best. Watching two blokes walk around a table potting balls like robots sends me to sleep.
Give me a war of attrition to see who deal with the pressure and cack themselves the least all day.
This is a proper Final now , not the walkover it was looking like yesterday.
All to play for now. At least there is something to look forward to tonight.
I used to like watching the big breaks, remember the first 147 on TV.Indeed. Shit snooker is the best. Watching two blokes walk around a table potting balls like robots sends me to sleep.

I used to love watching Cliff Thorburn The Grinder , would take ages over his shot and how to play it.
Judd’s done really well to claw back, without looking great either. Dare I say if he finds some good form he wins this?
Ronnie quite a few times getting too straight on the blue, not like him.
Still not fully confident when Judd gets on the table, arm looks tense, got an easy miss on him. But he's definitely more determined today. If he can win the first two frames this evening, game on.
Everyone knew Judd would struggle straight after a mentally scarring war with Williams. A few sessions of relaxation and he's back to full concentration (if not full form).
On the flip side, Ronnie was fully focused on pouncing on every mistake by Judd (and it was an open buffet for him) until he started to think about how he would kiss the trophy and things went pear shaped.
The final session will see both players in full focus mode. If Trump wins two out of every three frames remaining we could possibly see 17-17 and a final frame decider.
Even though i'm a big Ronnie fan, and have been for years, that would be seriously tested if he bottles this final.
His tiresome (but often funny) interviews are already testing me lately, but bottling this on the eve of his 'true' coronation as the best ever, well that may be one step too far for me.

I’m sure he will be devastated about this news.
Not as devastated as he will be if he bottles this final, oh but of course he 'doesnt really care' does he.
Sick of the sight of Jack, feck knows why BBC have suddenly went all in on him.
Its also funny that people are so used to Judds ballruns that any sort of consecutive bad luck is the end of the world. He has a lot more frames in his account from bad misses that knocks the black safe and fluke deflections than he has lost in this final

Can I only guess that’s something he is telling himself to calm the nerves but throughout the championship he clearly cares.
Does not sound like you are a fan if you are so quick to "stop being a fan" based on the outcome of one final and a handful of interviews [about the tournament].
