The Masters 2014

nice. finally found someone who actually knows something about snooker on this forum

Ha ha ha, great win from a great player, end of!

[arbitrage]

Selby is a good player and proper grinder, but he is nowhere near the level of Higgins , Williams and Ronnie in their prime. When those guys were young they were winning matches by blowing their opponents off the table with their talent, not by wearing them down. Thats why they are multiple world champions.

A young Higgins would have won the match. Not trying to be negative or anti Selby, but the standard is not what it used to be when we had Ronnie, Williams, Higgins in their prime and also talents like Paul Hunter. Not to mention the great Stephen Hendry, wo would have kept Selby in his seat.

Yesterdays match was good to watch because of the drama, but lets face it, that was not high quality snooker like it should be.

no you are completely right. as stated before, w/o the gamesmanship, selby is just another top 32 player - and nothing more

delayed start again?? i am at work no scores or link to it on the bbc yet

[Ronnie's tip]

Selby/Higgins was epic. No surprise though.

Walden/ROS could be great. Fancy Walden to cause an upset.

This could be something of a landslide. Ronnie looks to be in the zone.
