2013 Masters discussion

[brusque]

Though I have to add. A couple of terrible shots from Dott to play in Selby's hands. He should have known better.

disgusted at Selby's tactics. Come on Dott ... do him!!

Selby is not going to change now. Dott is bored, you can see it in his chair, he even muttered something at one point like come on. Mark is clearly playing gamemanship now, taking an enormous amount of time over sometimes routine shots. Noticeable how he quickens up when his opponent needs snookers.

Think players need a strong ref now to deal with this deliberate slow play to annoy his opponent, someone needs to have a word with him.

Both players are playing wonderful snooker. The odd miss here or there, but that adds to the excitement. Couldn't ask for anything more really...as a spectator for me personally this is what I want to see in a snooker match. Absolutely mesmerizing!

Couldn't agree more. Don't know what parrot's on about, " Nobody likes this sort of frame...."
It's pure drama.

Rule no.1, whenever Selby plays he divides opinions, more so than any other player. Unfortunately because his matches are so boring snooker becomes the secondary part, therefore people talk about anything other than the game in hand!

Come on Selby...cant stand to watch Dott blow his chalk off anymore

Well if you like breaks of 20, cheap snookers, everlasting tactical battles and when a player comes back at the table even if he needs up to 6 snookers to win the frame, then you might love to see Selby play. For the same reasons, I hate him from the bottom of my heart. You can't blame people for hating a player in particular because, well, it's very likely that there is at least one player that you hate, too. This is human nature.

Alright then...4-3 it is...another frame on the board on the way to 6-5

[craig147]

This could be a late one!!

It's pure bliss...

Tough battle in the last frame, can't fault the fighting qualities of either player. Selby in again... :smile:

Like Patblock said...it's pure drama. And as you say...it will be a fight untill the very last ball. Great great stuff!

and as usual losing position again, he's a terrible positional player, if he put half the effort into his boring the opponent as he did his positional play he'd be a much better and fluent player.
