2014 World Championship - Discussion

FACT: Selby is also a snooker genius, whether you can see it or not.

Indeed, exceptional player.
If someone can't see that it's just because he's biased or doesn't have a clue about snooker at all

Personally i love watching Selby, he has everything in his armoury, can pot off the lampshades when on form, great tactician when things need to go that way, has the bottle to push the boat out on some strange shots, all in all i wonder how he hasn't won more titles.
I would rather watch tactical frames than one visit stuff !!

Actually like saying Chelsea are a great football team under Mourinho, with his park the bus theory! Its not proper football but it gets results cos your counter attack is still deadly

That's sort of what I was trying to say yesterday. Much prefer ROS, but Selby is very effective. He isn't going to win a break building contest, so he uses other tools he has.

ronnie in 3 afternoon

Well the odds are way to long on Selby at 5.2 to 1, so stuck a few quid on. Am covered both ways then. If ROS wins sixth world title am over the moon, and the consolation if Selby wins is that I get paid some cash. relax.

there goes Dennis Taylor again - this time about Brendan Moore the ref and not a player - "one of the nicest people you can meet"

not saying Brendan and all the players are not nice people but everyone Dennis meets must be "one of the nicest people"...

Just been reading Dennis Taylor's autobiography.. He met Saddam Hussein once....One of the nicest lads....etc!!!

Just back From Shef. A the Crucible all day yesterday...

A very good match with all sorts, just what any real snooker fan wants. To be fair Ron should probably be 12 - 5 up - he was very unlucky with the green in-off. Selby played well in patches. Ronnies 131 and 87 were awesome.

The guy in the crowd shouted "love you Ronnie.." Brenadan Moore said "get him out will you..." then "totally un-necessary..." I agree - trouble with when Ronnie plays is they let the football types in - they know nothing about snooker, other than Ronnie.

Yes, you can drink in the bar, but only soft drinks allowed in the auditorium...

Ronnie should still win this, as remember guys, Selby needs 4 frames just to go ahead.. Could happen, but TBH it's better all round for snooker to see a O'Sullivan victory (IMO)...

Bring on the 3rd session...

[Masterdoctorgenius]

how the session ended yesterday it seems it is destiny that selby wins the WC

[snookerpoolman]

... made me laugh out-loud!

Thanks... yeah thought some of you guys would appreciate that!

[Masterdoctorgenius]

so excited

[Ronnie's tip]

Can't wait!

Still having nightmares about yesterday. Urghhh.

First frames are massive.

[daffie]

Yes first mini session is absolutely crucial...bring it on!
