JudyJudyJudy Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Steve Davis talking about durting session breaks he was able to have a sleep ! I dont really think he woke up at the evening session Interesting discussion earlier on about the formality of snooker and the suits and bow ties. Why? I suppose its tradition but not too comfortable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An absolute masterclass from the ******* lovechild of Cliff Thorburn and Ann Widdecombe last night. Nobody in the modern game can handle Selby in this mood. He just breaks opponent after opponent - if he wasn't a snooker player, he could've been a superb chess grandmaster IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please put him out to grass BBC, it's ridiculously overdue now. Hendry, McManus and Davis are all top notch though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanks Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I really enjoyed that last night, Selby is the master at what he does. It’s up to Murphy to come out today and try and beat him. This could go all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
