2013 Masters discussion

Selby is playing like he wants to prove to everyone that he is a worthy champion. And he is! Great job so far...3-0 up. Neil really needs to win the next frame.

Century break, 3-0!He's so focused!

[daffie]

I much prefer Selby playing more aggressive, hopefully he sticks with having a bit more bottle, and make's this into a 19 frame special!

ps Just need Neil to wake up and realize he's in the final...

Yup he needs to wake up fast or else I'm afraid Selby will put him to bed (yeah I know...leaving the door open to all sorts of sarcastic remarks). 2-0 up now and in amongst the balls.

Yes this is gonna be a classic!
Two of the greatest players of our generation.

Let's get started!

So...only 10 minutes to go before the start of the Final between Selby and Robertson.

Imo Robertson has played just about the more consistent of the two during this year's tournament. Both players have had their 6-5 battles and came out on top.

Selby's marathon last night must have taken something out of him, while Robertson has had the whole night off. Selby however is physically and mentally very tough and strong, so I don't think it will affect him too much today.

Robertson is a strong front-runner, so if he gets in front soon then he *only* needs to make sure to ultimately win 1 more frame than Selby to win the title. Easier said than done, because we all know how tough Mark Selby is, especially from behind.

In the end I favor Robertson slightly. I think he will be just the stronger of the two in the end. We'll see. I think it will definately be a very good final.

Enjoy!

The complete and utter disrespect for a snooker player that you and other Selby "haters" show is mind-boggling....

The complete and utter disrespect for others' opinion that you and other Selby "likers" show is mind-boggling....

But I have no problem stearing clear of all the BS spouted by the hate mongers and enjoy a perfectly good snooker match

Nope. You're getting mad at them, obviously. You wouldn't answer otherwise.

Last night's was a classic which a lot of people thoroughly enjoyed. Snooker at it's absolute best!

Lots of people proved so excited that they left the arena. Graeme Dott summed everything up perfectly in this :

If Selby's worth any kind of respect then Graeme Dott is as well. I wonder what you can answer to him.

I'm a bit concerned for the continental European posters in this thread when they're taking the British posters seriously!!

Oh I'll be alright

[daffie]

...a lot of drivel

The complete and utter disrespect for a snooker player that you and other Selby "haters" show is mind-boggling....and you even dared say "we are really all rational people". Unbelievable! :nightmare:

I'm also pretty sure most on this board would like all the Selby "haters" to just open up a separate thread so they can all go **** and moan in there instead of in this thread, which should really be about the 2013 Masters Edit : turns out there is a thread on Selby already...http://www.thesnookerforum.co.uk/boa...hampion-or-not

But I have no problem stearing clear of all the BS spouted by the hate mongers and enjoy a perfectly good snooker match Last night's was a classic which a lot of people thoroughly enjoyed. Snooker at it's absolute best!

Just an hour to go before the start of the Final...bring it on!
