2014 World Championship - Discussion

[brusque]

hahahaha .. loved how RoS giftwrapped the red to Selby coz he just cant take it anymore ... very enjoyable

[cueman]

That was lucky from Selby.

Selby may win but next time no one buy ticket to watch him play snooker. that's sad.

literally killed the game and I hope the BBC commentators stop all this adulation of how good he is and call a spade a spade.
This isn't good for the game and nobody can argue a positive against it.

I'm switching off which I never felt I'd do in a final which I have invested so much time watching the rest of the event.

[wake_up_bomb]

Whose style of play am I describing here?

Pot a red, run out of position, snooker. Make nine, run out of position, play a containing safety. Make 20, refuse a difficult pot, put the black safe. Pot a red, run out of position, snooker.

I bet casual snooker watchers are on the edge of their seats.

[brusque]

most of you Einsteins fail to see that its RoS who is playing terrible and missingmost of his chances ... Selby is just focused on what really should be his strategy and is just playing perfect matchplay snooker ... the problem here is not Selby's negative play but RoS's inability to play half decent

[richo]

Is this deliberate. Every time Selby gets over the winning line, he doesn't finish the frame, but plays a safety to drag it out another 15 minutes. Normally you would just win the frame.

Not as sad as thinking people all over the world won't want to watch the world champion (if he wins)

[gwltabb]

Never thought I'd see the day run of the ball had a big say in winning the WC. Literally unbelievable. If it's true these things even out over a match, Ronnie will walk it!

I've not watched a single frame of the entire day. I really don't like the way Selby plays and folks can argue that it achieve results and gets him over the line but I for one find it very ugly stuff.

Some strange comments lately, surely you do what you need to do to win the frame ???

Bye Bye...enjoy the rest of your evening...we will continue enjoying this wonderful World Snooker Final.

Well how can you have an opinion then ????????????????????

[brusque]

again ... Ros has wrong attitude .. he could have played a perfect snooker here but he could not ... is Selby to be blamed for that?

[missneworleans]

Selby played absolutely okay, he may not be in best form, but he hasnt slowed the game or something as Ronnie's fans always like to say

[Neil Taperell]

Wille Thorne explains how a shot is to be played nearly every shot ..........then the player plays it another way and he says that was the other option.........drives me bloody mad

[waterski]

What is ronnie doing? mind game with Selby with 2 balls left??
