Dusk_Till_Dawn Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilnunb Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 The laughter from the crowd obviously listening to the commentary and Virgo expecting Selby to take that pot on but instead play a negative shot 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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!

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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted November 24, 2021 Author Share Posted November 24, 2021 Hendry beaten 6-1 by Tepchaiya in UK Championship. Tepchaiya made 5 centuries and 2 50s. Hendry made a 50 to win frame 4. Scored only 1 point in the 6 frames he lost. Tough school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey1874 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Looking at Judd Trump's last few missed shots in his defeat this afternoon he looks to be back to where he was 5 or 6 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
