World Snooker Championship 2021

For all the Selby lovers here. Can I ask what you think about his deliberate negative slow play?. He's worse than Ebdon at this stage and he was a master at it

taytobreath

My opinion is it’s not gamesmanship, it’s the natural way he plays, some players don’t like it....tough lol

Kinda like what Williams said about his break offs

alan partridge aha

When Fergal O'Brien was competitive and played his natural style I had no problem when he won. With his careful methodical style.

If it was 'gamesmanship' Selby would be going for toilet breaks every chance he could get etc.

:pac: that's just due to your Ronnie hatred tbf. Why you'd even bother watching only to turn it off if the player you dislike is going to win makes no sense to me but each to their own I guess

Say Your Number

Pocket wasn't nice to Murphy there.

That's not true. I was up for Selby last year.

Good to see Mr Coventry City FC in the front row, looking resplendid in his blue and white suit ,by passing the no jersey ban

gormdubhgorm

Ref has had a good game as well. Have not seen him centre stage which is a good sign.

I would have been up for him in the final as well. So by your logic, I must hate Kyren Wilson too.

Only because of your irrational hatred of Ronnie O Sullivan, as pointed out.

So playing on needing 4/5 snookers for 30 minutes is totally acceptable in your eyes......interesting.
If your going to win, win on merit, not crap like that and other dubious tactics imo

Think I saw a lad wearing an Irish rugby away jersey the other day, is it just soccer jerseys banned?

What's Kyren Wilson got to do with anything. You're the one saying you're going to turn off if Selby wins, have spent the entire time giving out about Selby and then said you dont dislike him.

We all know about your hatred for Ronnie as your postal here last week proved so obviously that's why you wanted Selby to win last year.

No idea why you're bringing up Kyren Wilson. You're away with the fairies watching Selby win it seems

You do know that he has won frames, including one in the world championship against Hendry from that exact position??

I'm not going to watch because of his stinky tactics. I found it annoying. So did some of the players.

Peter File

A good chance for Shaun to make it 15:17.

alan partridge aha

Selby seems a little tense for the 1st time.

Gas if Murphy wins it, and Sligeach went to bed instead...

I think Bingham and Selby had similar shot times 28secs over the course of the semi.

gormdubhgorm

Great admiration for the two players. This match is in danger of turning into a classic last frame job.

The fat lady just sat down again!

That was against Hendry in the year before he retired I think. He was light-years past his best. And that's really the standout time someone has got the required snookers.

Raving_Magic

Oooohh this is getting interesting....

rolling boh

that's a good break a little glimmer maybe

Say Your Number

Going down swinging, fair play to him

alan partridge aha

Fairplay Murphy not just handing it to him

Arthur Daley

Ronnie said there'll be a few twitches at the end.

That black didn't turn away from left middle earlier and it would be 16-16 here

Tren.

Joke pockets

HeidiHeidi

I know it's easier when the pressure is off in the break, but this is great potting!

Choochtown

Murph cueing lovely here

Peter File

15:17.
Murphy looked a bit emotional there before his last shot

sligeach

Coventry City man fan, get that mask back on. :P

gormdubhgorm

Selby looking a bit worried a touch of a glassy eye, bite of the lip.

Keep at him Shaun!

Just needs to be careful on his break offs and punish Selby when he makes a mistake, was rooting for Selby but hope Murphy forces a decider

sligeach

Now, it could be interesting.

StevenToast

3 centuries in a row...top quality snooker

bazermc

Go on Shaun.

AllForIt

I'm delighted Murphy has made this little surge even if it is a little too late.

~Rebel~

Beautiful stuff from Shauny. Big ask from here still, but he's in with a shout at least.

He'll be gutted he hadn't stolen just one of those earlier frames that he had a stranglehold on, could so easily have been 16-16 now!

Fine margins at this level.

Muppet Man

Not a fan of either, but I am absolutely glued to this. Seriously impressed with Murphy....

Pogue eile

Great stuff from Murphy, what ever happens now this should give a great springboard for him to get back to the top table.

dobman88

Was hoping for a little fist pump again there. Mighty stuff from Murphy.

Are we doing what the Brits usually do and claiming him as Irish yeah?

xabi_a

Selby's feeling it

alan partridge aha

Rotten luck for Shaun.
