2023 British Open

Don't get your hopes up. It will be business as usual in the next tournament, I'm sure.

OMG Selby take a risk for once 🥱😴

[Cue crafty]

Jack still not learnt the art of when your opponent's under pressure and missing and you get a chance....crush him! Missed easy red 3rd frame pivotal and Lisowski is still chewing on this now right now whether he wants to or not. You can't keep giving Selby chances to get off the hook and not expect him to take them no matter how vulnerable he might seem.

(Just gonna congratulate myself on the most obvious observational post of the year....I thank you! 😛)

yip, bang on.
Just watching Vafaei, see if he`s wily enough to learn that lesson. I make the mistake of easing my foot off the gas playing a well matched mate, lost 3-0 last Wed then got covid so I`ll be gnashing my teeth till we play again and I put heavier shoes on

Lol, yeh I know exactly what you mean there, I play a lad who's a great player but sometimes he struggles and wheels come off, so I stupidly feel sorry for him and play a few loose ones so he gets a chance to get going....then he kicks my arze and I can't pot a ball!! no room for that in this game, you gotta be mean.

Mark Selby record in finals since he won the World Championship in 2014 is phenomenal...... 25 finals & 22 wins....... Style might be unfashionable but that's an incredible strike rate IMO.... Williams is doing well with the tippy tappy stuff 😎

Willow is in no rush home tonight......anyone watching?

it`s a hard watch snooker connoisseur or not

Is he ever in a rush?


[maybe when the kebab van's about to close? ]

He was in a rush to get to the loo....... After that he lost focus...... Advantage Selby, he will have to be scraped off the table 🔪

Lol just noticed the signature line in your post. If Selby had mates to pipe kebab scent into the ventilation Willo would be out the gap in no time

Last black just crept in, hit the top cush first. Well done MW, nice to see these youngsters coming through.

[Nifty50]

Well done Mark. Out Selby’d Selby.

[Cue crafty]

Brilliant and well deserved win for Willo, last night! He had incredible reserves to hold his concentration throughout all the tactical battles, he looked like he really wanted it and showed that with the first pump at the end.

(John Higgins is going to be practicing 8hrs a day again now )

I know its quite tangible or palpable isn't it.
Just looked through the English Open qualifiers on snooker.org, where the heck were any Q School top up players ?
It seems like old players are getting too much sway within snooker, a repercussion of that player vote year's ago when Rodney Walker left and Hearn took over ? It hasn't done the game any favours at all.
