World Snooker Championship 2021

Why did he take it on ? He’s ahead in the frame ? A very difficult pot, safety was easy .

Oh dear oh dear oh dear.......

Pity the pocket was a mean bastard there

Selby would never have taken that red on the cushion on. That's the difference.

Yeah the ultimate percentage player, least amount of risk and looks for maximum advantage. Murphy is more all or nothing.

Handed it to him on a plate, hate that kind of ending.

He got this far by being brave, can't fault him for that shot really

raclle

Not over yet

It's what has been said of Murphy. He plays the wrong shots at times.

As someone else posted, though - go for it, don't leave it on


Doesn't matter now though

sligeach

Off goes the snooker.

This is it

Some shot to the black all things considered

rolling boh

gave it a good go but to win the last 5 frames was too big an ask selby bound to get a chance and he duly did and took it good match i thought .

Loafing Oaf

Incredible shot on the pink:D

namloc1980

Wrong shot choice on the red. Fine margins.

Mr. Guappa

Well done Selby. A great champion.

Hit those harder and they're less likely to go in.

Selby banishing his demons from last year. 4 titles in 8 years. A worthy winner. Well done to him. Murphy can hold his head very very high.

Say Your Number

Incredible finish.

Selby only won one session, the 7-2 last night was the difference.

raclle

Great match and a great tournament. Fair play Selby

See y'all next year

I thought Selby was going to bottle that at the last minute, asking for his line of sight to be cleared and re-addressing the pot


Glad he won anyway

Shame. Better play lost.

KevRossi

Well done Selby. Best overall player in the tournament, no question about it. Cooler head, picked his shots a lot better, made better decisions than Murphy.

Yes, we'll discuss the gamesmanship afterwards, but the way he cleared the blue, pink and black showed his mettle. Snooker is a lot more than flashy shots and he had the best mix of all disciplines. Congrats to him.

Shaun is a superb speaker, very eloquent and funny. He'd make a great pundit and commentator

Murphy good sense of humour on the Chris Henry question.

Maybe he should have taken a few more seconds to think about it....just saying!!

alan partridge aha

Nice speech Murph.

AllForIt

Can't believe Murphy played to pot that last red, at that speed, knowing full well he'd likely leave it over the pocket if he missed. The last thing he wanted to do was to give Selby was an easy in when he was looking a bit nervy.

Anyway, I hope Shaun can keep up the kind of form he's been producing over the last couple of weeks.

Mr. Guappa

Shaun spoke really well.

Just thinking that.


Very magnanimous in defeat, and funny with it.


Fair play!

I was thinking President of Ireland - Michael D's term is up shortly.

Maybe Shaun might throw his hat in the ring?

Shaun Murphy would tell you himself he lost too many frames by having breaks ended on straightforward shots he should have got

Good final, not much in it but Selby deserved the win.

I thought we’d be spared the appearance of family this year.

He's very witty

Mark came across well to be fair to him

StupidLikeAFox

Are they going to give Chris henry a medal i wonder??

Peter File

A good final to end the snooker season.
Murphy and Bingham will be reinvigorated next season.

volono

The negativity he plays with really annoys me but that's his style I suppose. Up to the likes of trump and Robertson etc etc to come up with a game plan to beat him next season over this format because it suits him down to the ground

Tren.

Overdoing it there with the confetti

Hearn thinks snooker and darts are the same thing

HeidiHeidi

Half a mill!


Not a bad day's work!!

SharpshooterTom

Is Selby's bird Irish or Irish descent?

Addle

Interesting that Shaun was the first up work with Chris Henry.

Augme

I think that last res Shaun missed probably dinner up the difference between the two players. I don't think Selby would have went for it and if he did, he's have made sure to give it enough to not leave it over the pocket. Given the struggle Selby was having you'd have to feel forcing him to battle for the title at that stage would have been the smart decision.

BonnieSituation

Enjoyed that match thoroughly. The best man won, but Murph certainly did give it his all.

Fantastic tournament overall.

The withdrawals tomorrow will be something fierce.

No problem with the family pics, the Chris Henry thing not so much.

Timewasting and playing on for excessive snookers has to be stamped out

No problem with hard matchplay of itself

Ebdon and others showed years ago that you can use dirty tricks to knock fluent players off their stride
