2014 World Championship - Discussion

I think you are right. Selby has a lot more experience at this end of the tournament.

In recent years yes but there wouldn't be much to choose if you considered their all time Crucible record.

There's a bit of needle between Ronnie and Murphy from a while back isn't there? That's an interesting match. Murphy should give Ronnie a good game.

Selby better beat McManus. That means that one of my favourites are guaranteed to be in the final and I'll actually have someone to properly root for unlike last year.

Lucky you, I have no one left in the other half of the draw to cheer for ^^
Based on form, I'd say Robertson would be the favourite to win it all as of now, but again, Ding came in with the best of the records and quit in first round.

Yes. I should have stated in recent years.

But you are right. McManus has had plenty of experience and is a great match player. He's certainly giving Selby a hard time.

yes, and i think its a good thing for ROS as it will focus him more.
Perry kind of jumped him a bit, but ROS will be fully aware of how dangerous murphy can be right from the start
He got out of jail against perry, perry should've been 11-5 after second session

Shaun commented on Ronnie's behaviour a while back when he wasn't attending press conferences, etc. And said publicly that he should do more to expand the sport considering his status. I think Ronnie will have gotten over it by now and will face Shaun Murphy professionally.

at least with murphy he plays the game the right way, you get a pure snooker battle, no underhand tactics involved.

Another two great matches coming up this afternoon, its a shame they're both on at the same time, but i'll be watching Ronnie, roll on the one table set up so i can see every session of every match

[ywfan]

i think the start is crucial, if ROS get off to a flyer, murphy tends to force things to get back into the match and this plays right into the hands of ROS, who could then be steaming to victory.
if murphy can finish the first session at least level, he has a chance.

just gonna have them both on and toggle the volume between the two, these matches are far too good to miss.

[Ronnie's tip]

How on earth did Murphy get away with that?

[cyberheater]

Sorry to keep on bleating on about it but Eurosport is late once again. Why bother paying money to have rights to the most important snooker tournament on the calendar if you have no intention to start on time. I just don't get it. Clearly some cycling crap is much more important.
