It's like one of those football matches where the team just parks the bus and stays defensive. Horrible to watch.
As Pep Guardiola said, if you don't care for entertaining the fans they might as well not watch and just find out the result after it's finished.

I can't believe people are calling his style boring. There's a reason the game is called 'snooker', you know. Safeties, positional play and errors are just as much a part of it as potting reds in quick succession.
Selby and O'Sullivan are two of my favourites, but I've been rooting for Selby in this match and I'm hoping he doesn't lose momentum any time soon.Originally Posted by Atypical Male View PostSelby's purpose there today isn't to entertain those watching - it's to win the freakin' match, and the World Championship title. He's played these last five frames very, very effectively to claw his way back towards accomplishing that goal - more power to him in hoping he continues in that stead.
He plays in a style to win... if you don't like that, that's your prerogative, but I personally think it's ridiculous to fault a player for playing with a strategically smart mentality.
Give me five more frames like the last five, please.
Good match this!

So can Selby win the session 6-3 or better ? And can the BBC get rid of Irvine and Doherty ? The intrigue continues (now for about 8 years)
