2013 Masters discussion

Selby been out the arean 4 minutes now, not content winning luckily, also playing mind games too. Utter nob, hope his neck goes into spasm.

Its unbelievable Selby is 3-0 up and his highest break of the match is only 28! Not often you see that.

In the trump dott match earlier i think the highest break was like 43 till the final frame Some very scrappy matches today.

How many other players would have turned down that red at the back of the pack then from Selby? Dunno about Jester, should be nicknamed Mr negativity.

Give it a rest, perhaps he was having a huge dump? Have you always been out of the toilet within 4 mins?

[narl]

That was a unique way of tipping the reds.

Same could be said of you

I can't bare to watch this. It's painful stuff.

Lol at Doherty 'I've never seen Mark Williams play this bad in my life', yes Ken you were away on a skiing trip on wednesday !!

Williams toys out of pram and cue thrown on floor, 6-0 here we come, awful stuff

Apart from Allen v Robertson the rest of the quarter finals have been pathetic for so called the best players in the game. This is club standard stuff at times and many of the players outside the top 32 can and do perform better than this. A terrible advert for snooker, on the back of a poor UK championship too.

Personally think this is a result of too many events in the season. I think the players mentally are gone, they are playing near enough every week and snooker is unlike many sports where you have to concentrate for every moment of the match. Unlike other games where its a lot of subconcious state, i.e. you can go on autopilot and maintain a good standard, snooker requires a lot of mental capacity and its impossible to maintain that level every day of every week.

Think they need to take a good look at the schedule now, if I was a player I'd be taking a month off the game and prepare myself for the crucible as that can be the only focus now for the top players.

Selby will be delighted to take all four frames so far tonight. He got a couple of chances out of nowhere, getting unlikely doubles, and he played some very good shots at the right time to win frames on the colours. He really is a master of that type of snooker.

But Williams had his chances to take frames cleanly, he is just not playing well enough to take advantage at the moment. I think it's fair to say he would have been out of the tournament by now if he'd found himself in a different quarter of the draw.

Im pretty sure i played in some better frames than this during the week, and ive not been able to pot a ball all week...says a lot.

[narl]

Henceforth i dub Selby the Weeble Wobble, suits the movements he makes when cueing.

[billabong]

that white had a mind of it's own there .

[cyberheater]

I just saw that red roll off that middle pocket.
