2022 World Championship

He already changed his cue several times this season. Might be content with the new one, as he leads Zhao 8:4.

I know he said he preferred maple as it felt smoother on his stubble ,now he’s clean shaven it’s Ash I’m not sure I’ve heard of any pro’s that change cues as often as Maguire ,could be one of the reasons he’s been sketchy over the years and under performed .

Was there a Pigeon on the table today? Lol.

Mark Williams beats Jackson Page 13-3 with a session to spare, I felt a bit sorry for Jackson after beating Barry Hawkins 10-7 in his debut match at The Crucible. Here is a snooker teaser for you all, who is the only player to win two consecutive matches at the Crucible with a session to spare who were his opponents and what was the year?

I think there might be more than one player like that actually. In 2014, Ronnie O'Sullivan beat Shaun Murphy 13-3 in the quarter-finals, and then Barry Hawkins 17-7 in the semi-finals.

Allen is useless. I thought this would be more of a match...

Frequent cue changes are doing him no good either.

Why oh why are pro sportsmen on social media when they receive this kind of abuse through it ?.
Saying that Selt should know better than to respond to it .

Selt needs some help I think ……clearly not thinking rationally.
I’m sure it will be an interesting chat when they see each other at the next tournament.
Clearly can’t take a joke …..thought it was funny when the guy said ‘ so when is your match ‘ …..obviously touched a nerve with Selt .
Can’t stand watching Selt when he does that sniffing thing with his face ….nerves I assume that makes him do that .

People sending him DM's when they don't know him and then selling the responses to the papers is not exactly a good look though.

I don't know... Am I the only one who struggles to take Twitter, Instagram, and similar sites seriously? Not too long ago we've had heads of state sending one another to mental institutions and stuff like that, so it's clearly become the accepted forum for posting useless and offensive crap. In my opinion, it's another thing WST really shouldn't have anything to do with. I bet there are dozens of players who have done something objectionable online, if someone really wanted to look for it. For some reason, people post stuff online that they would never say to someone in person. Maybe because they know they are unlikely to face any consequences. And people who participate in all of that mostly do so willingly, and personal arguments that devolve into abuse and name-calling have become the norm. We should all just move along and watch the snooker instead. Why would I even care what Selt posts online, much less get offended by any of it?

He didn't post it online, he replied to a personal message. But yes we are all now too interested in what happens online, online allows people to be overly brave. I have never had anyone say to my face the things they will say online because I am twice the size of the average human. As a rule I would never say anything online I would not say to somebodies face, for example, Shaun Murphy, you are a cock.

Andrew ……that made me chuckle

Lolz, that's made my morning reading that, nearly spat my coffee up the wall!!

I think Shaun's made it clear, that in his opinion Yan still has to prove himself on the big stage in front of an audience!! Must of said five times now.....
