I've never warmed to Spud Murphy but Robertson was interviewed on Radio 5 this morning and was supportive of the comments made by Murphy. He was keen to make the distinction between amateur Chinese players who he said many of which were as good as top 50 professional players and aging amateur Brits that were just, in most cases, fodder.
Both players seem to have a problem with amateurs playing without pressure having an advantage.
Hopefully somebody more knowledgeable can explain why somebody good enough to be a top 50 professional would want be an amateur instead?
