2021 Welsh Open

what a gripping end to that QF,
I really did think Selby would get that short black to the middle!
well done Jordan Brown for getting to his first SF

[neuronic]

Wow, how on earth did Mark Selby miss that black to the middle...? That felt hendrymastersesque.

Happy for Jordan Brown, though, what a decider to win.

[trains]

yes was still given the double of brown and mags , 61.88 off a fiver , yeaahh

[PatBlock]

Selby out. Does anyone have a better B game than Selby? He just wasn't there today, but despite that he managed to get within one pot of winning what was, for me, a really entertaining match. Very well payed Jordan Brown, held his nerve when it mattered.

Mrs Selby will be saying tonight " stop tossing and turning , I can't get to sleep with you ". Selby will be a long long time healing that one . His ambition is to regain his Number 1 status . Sick as a dog feeling enveloping him

Anyway I'll be routing for Mags in their semi. Sorry, Jordan.

By the way, am I the only one getting that strange "Grab yourself a glas of whiskey and lean back"-DonDraper-kinda feel watching 50s Ian Hunt and turtlenecked Ken Doherty on BBC Wales? Felt disturbingly "right"...

He digs in harder than an Alabama tick! Steve Davis made some really funny comments a short while back, think it was about a Higgins and Selby match, where he said Selby was like the Terminator when he was smashed half to bits and just had the one red eye and one arm, but still keeps coming for you!! He said Higgins was like Predator in that same match too, gotter scrape them two off the table regardless of whether they are in form or struggling.

and it can be the not their best snookers and escapes that make it all the more fun / appealing / edgy , depending on who you want to win , selby's clip off the blue to put the white behind the pink was actually underhit and a bit of a wasted chance but just enough to snooker brown , brown had better more difficult escapes earlier but decided to go for the delicate swerve and didn't get enough purchase on the white , should have played it off the cushion , and how he gave away 4 leading 56 - 19 when selby needed a snooker was careless , must rank up somewhere up there as one of the best frames i've ever seen and all the more being a decider .

The forum has been sinking like the Titanic for a long time, don't know how it stayed afloat for the last 12 months. Don't really know why I keep visiting. Initially I randomly thought I'd get to my 1000 posts then call it a day. But then the post count broke

Lolz, I said that to myself in 2017.... Its people like you though, who share insightful stuff in their posts that keeps me coming back.

Welcome back CC I still log in every day just to catch up not seen any of the snooker this week been decorating flat and it's finished when I get back to where i'm staying, My sympathies go out to Dean & Neil, those guy's are in the forefront of all the flack, Trying to keep things together while the owner knows this, that's prob why he dosen't give a toss..

I vote make ADR the new owner, he will sort it, and he's got the respect of most if not all the members.

+1 to that John!

Good work mate, nice fresh lick of paint makes a new place "your own" Hope you've settled in well now!

Tom Fords head looks like its gone down too early in this match for me. Thought he had been managing the mental side well so far but some bad body language going on this evening sadly...

Great choice.

[Danger Steve]

I’ve noticed Tom has a very similar cue action to Hendry!?
