2014 World Championship - Discussion

[trains]

So the Ronnie 'fans' applying their usual tactics...coughing loudly just when Selby delivers the cue...typical losers mentality that. Just wait for the phones start ringing on Mark's shots...

So who coughed in the same place when Robertson looked back? A Selby fan?

Looking like 11-10 to Selby
Edit: what a let down that was

I really can't understand the hate for Selby.
Sure, everybody has his own preferences when watching snooker. But after all he has proven often, though not in the first two sessions of the final, he is a great break-builder as well.

As for myself I love watching Selby. He is a great all-around player. He is able to score high, when needed, but is also a great tactician and plays excellent safeties.

Selby vs. Robertson in the semifinal was probably the best match I've seen in the last two or three years.

Agreed 100% with all you said. Btw there are a lot of Selby 'lovers' in here as well

I think that is the stuff of conspiracy theorists. Anyone can cough at an inopportune time. Selby could have got back up off the shot as the cough happened at least a second before he delivered the cue.

Hendry used to play in tournaments when people were saying miss whilst he was on the shot and it never put him off!

Ronnie just hit that green with no real thought, Selby would have had the white in a better spot

[vdking114]

Ronnie has lost 5 frames in a row and about to be 6...

this is some kind of ****ty stuff
misses red leaves nothing on

ronnie leaves red all over the place

[gavpowell]

You are asking WHY O'Sullivan's head is gone and started playing badly? Have you watched snooker at all in the past 20 years?

I don't see that his head has gone at all - he's been playing relatively poorly all tournament but why is it that if Ronnie plays badly his head has just gone, whereas everyone else has been exhausted by the schedule? Maybe the other finalists over the yeears have struggled with the pressure?

[scottley]

C'mon the rabbits foot!

[Masterdoctorgenius]

this selby is so lucky

[Ronnie's tip]

Selby's getting all the run here. ROS getting nothing.

[Atypical Male]

"OMG, Selby was SO LUCKY to have just sunk that smashing long pot!! I can't believe his luck!!"

*LOL*

[scottley]

Maybe cause you're supporting your local boy Selby and overlook it all.

I appreciate good match snooker no matter who plays it.
