World Snooker Championship 2023

Rothko

I hope I never hear Yellow again

Brecel needed that, big time. Could still go either way. The amount of good fortune Selby has enjoyed is worrying.

never known a player that when they miss a pot… to cover / snooker their opponent so often, no way deliberately..

Are ‘Where is that cue ball going’ and the ‘Liverpudlian Pratt’ in the commentary box together for the final session…..?

life imitates art - for "art" read "sporting drama" , difficulties in life etc

I'd say it's not for no good reason that the Brown Ball is in middle of "D"

far as "shots to nothing" go, manys the time the only likely looking pot (attempt at same) after a shot to nothing red goes in from distance, is Brown to middle

those shots far from easy - ergo "Potting the Brown" (euph) aint always straightforward

😆

Hendry with Virgo thankfully.

Brecel one away from immortality, and yet the BBC studio nearly made it exclusively all about Selby. SMH.

Bug chance here.

This could be it

Strumms

That pink was ballsy, especially with the easy alternatives to play safe.

rolling boh

now this is the chance

I’ve no access to bbc or euro sport so looking at the final via ‘social media’……if Brecel wins it, will he be the first player from mainland Europe to do so….? Where is that trophy/Q ball going…?

sligeach

It's in Brecel's own hands to fulfill his dream. The cannon wasn't great, but he seems to think it's alright.

lawrencesummers

If he wins this he will be the second ever winner from outside the commonwealth to do so.

An easy one, but who was the other?

Marty Bird

Come on Luca !!

11 years ago was his first world championship

It's Brecel's Championship to lose now. Keep a level head and composure and he's there.

This is it surely!

Fair play to him took the chances in the end after looking beaten a frame or two earlier .

Brecel doing it for king and country

Brilliant response from Luca, deserves to win it.

sligeach

Spare a thought for Si. He could easily have been here. He's not quite ready though, needs to round out his game. But he has a big future in the game.

sligeach

Wasn't mad about Luca's, I know I've won celebration.

But fair play, deserved winner.

Brian?

Over the moon for Luca! Cool as a cucumber in the end. Delighted

martingriff

He must be the first world champion in his 20's for a few years

Snake Plisken

Brilliant Luca delighted
