neilnunb Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Is Selby really playing that well? Nah, missing plenty long pots...but Murphy missing easy chances, or the white goes in. Really feel Murphy had to win that last frame this afternoon. Done well to get this frame though when it looked like he'd lost it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not nearly as good today but Murphy has been shocking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dusk_Till_Dawn Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 This is really dull. Doherty trying hard to pretend that Selby is under pressure but he’s absolutely cruising here. 18-13 nailed on Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dusk_Till_Dawn Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Realistically, Selby could end up winning more world titles than Hendry. So few players are consistent these days. He can hold it together for two weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I find it strange how Hendry won his last title at the age of 30 and Selby won his first at the age of 31 No idea how Hendry failed to win another title after 1999 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's the likes of O'Sullivan and Trump that prop the game up. If we had 32 Selby's in the 1st round nobody would watch it or maybe couldn't due to the fact they would be hard pushed to keep their eyes open. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I loved snooker from a kid right into my 30’s but I’ve hardly lifted a cue or even watched a game for years now. I had my own full size table for years but once I got rid of that it seemed to drain away. I try to watch now and again but it honestly bores me I don’t know why I fell out of love with the game quite as much. That Shelby clip is ridiculous though how he doesn’t receive some kind of caution or warning there is beyond a joke. He’s taking the fecking piss! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’d Forgot about that knob Ebdon There needs to be some rule brought in to be able to caution them and after a certain period of time and it becomes a foul and a free ball to the opponent or something. Hideous and does nothing to make anyone want to watch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
