2014 World Championship - Discussion

[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

[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.

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.

[brusque]

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

[Le Ball Sack]

Has he make a pact with the devil?

[Masterdoctorgenius]

this is so frutrating

[brusque]

full marks to Mark for executing his strategy very well ... lets see what Dr. peters has had to offer in response to this

[richo]

Could we have a re-rack here?

[Masterdoctorgenius]

one mistake the frame is over

[Evilbrain]

Notice how he gets the white so far up the baulk so he makes sure theres never a pot on

[richo]

you will do your head in if you keep counting the amount he has! Honestly I've said this for years and people take no notice of it as though its not really having an effect on the outcome. He is the luckiest player I've ever seen in 30 years watching the game.

I guess playing devils advocate, he might say having a bad back for a snooker player was unlucky and has cost him tournaments? Anyway, agreed he is hugely having the run of the balls across the sessions this time.

[Masterdoctorgenius]

oh selby

what kind of snooker is this

[brusque]

another great red by Mark ... which obviously was his luck

[wemba]

You don't often see Ronnie under pressure. They're both suffering out there.
