C_J Brecel’s problem is the way he always gifts key frames with unforced errors. I think even I could’ve got in behind that green, it wasn’t a hard shot for a pro. Frustrating to watch.
alistair Funky Hope Selby wins. That first WC final 147 was pure class and one in the eye of the haters.
bosstrabs Along_the_Wire when you’ve got a 96 year old Williams ranked 8th in the world, I’d say that the competition probably isn’t the best that it’s been Grant only knows he is 96 because he keeps getting those pop-ups on social media ‘Famous people born on the same day as you’.
Along_the_Wire alistair you enjoy watching him play? It’s got worse and I think it’s cheating really, it’s intentional.
alistair Along_the_Wire I only tune in at the WC’s. I do have an appreciation for the tactical though (which is why I was partial to Steve Davis in his prime). The Selby hate is fucking boring and actually makes me want him to win. The Allen game was excruciating and he admitted himself he was struggling but he played quality snooker against Higgins and in the second session last night. He doesn’t have a duty to entertain fair-weather fans
Along_the_Wire alistair He doesn’t have a duty to entertain fair-weather fans He does it to wind up his opponent - it’s not on really, is it?
Funky Along_the_Wire His average shot time is 25 seconds, 1 second slower than Higgins and Allen this season. There is players on tour in the low 30’s. To say its intentional is silly and fair-weather! I’m with alistair on this want him to win to whind up the haters now.
Hursty Don’t mind Selby as a player, prefer him to Higgins that’s for sure, however I hope Luca wins it for the sport overall, can he keep it up?
Funky Along_the_Wire 30 quid cash out sounds good man, but I wouldn’t have a clue didn’t see brecel coming out and doing that. Mid session came at right time for Selby.
Along_the_Wire Some clearance there in that last frame from Brecel. Surprised given your anti-establishment leanings that you’re backing a four time winner and very much a part of the establishment versus a rank outsider Funky ? That’s not a dig either mate.
Along_the_Wire C_J I did, £65 profit. Hope he doesn’t get pumped - great story- Selby’s won it enough times and have supported him as an underdog, but loving the underdog being Brecel here.
