He’s getting slammed. Although these lol players would struggle to get through the first round of any qualifying at a snooker event. Great stuff from Shaw though relentless potting. The angles, the spin, the tables even the cues play differently. 

He mullered his first three opponents!

 

Tough tonight, He's barely had any decent chances.

Didn't Steve Davis win a pool tournament about 20 years ago? Or was it poker? I know he won something in another sport.

Selby won the Eight ball World championships about a decade ago, but I don't think field contained anyone from outside the UK lol

I think its a pretty common opinion across the top 32/64 players that there are too many players in the professional circuit and then with amateur add ons as well. But Murphy doesn't come out of that rant very well at all. Trying to say the man who has millions in career prize money needs it more than an amateur who probably goes away from most competitions with nothing is bizarre.

His own fault for missing a fairly easy blue, now he’s acting like a sore loser.

 

I’ve mentioned this about him before, all you need to do is take one look at his Wikipedia page, to know that he is a joke.

 

Banging on about putting food on the table, what’s he done with his runner up winnings from the World Championship for example? Spunked it all on escorts :whistle:

"I am going to sound like a grumpy old man but that young man shouldn't be in the tournament," said Murphy.

"It is not fair, it is not right."

 

Sour grapes from a Man Utd fan.

 

and before that, Sheff Wed, Rotherham & Northampton.

 

Loyal eh!

Ronnie with an always different and amusing take on the drama:

 

Quote

“I hope it gets worse, honestly. I hope it gets worse for them,” said O’Sullivan. "They better start looking for a job if they don’t like it”

 

“I drew a line under it a long time ago. I can change what I do, that’s what I’m saying to Murphy, go and get a job, do something else, play snooker for fun because you’re going to have loads more of that.

“Get your head around it, you’ve got choices to make. Five or six years ago I made a real conscious effort to play for fun and just enjoy it. I went and got a job and played this for a hobby.

“You’ll never hear me talk like that because it’s a hobby, but when it means something to you then it can hurt.

“I don’t care. I’ll play amateurs, women, referees, anyone, I don’t care,” he continued. “I feel like the amateur playing now, you have to get in that mindset because it’s better that way.

“I remember being an amateur playing a pro, Willie Thorne playing a 14-year-old me, it was embarrassing for him to lose to me, so I know what it feels like to be a favourite and to lose but that’s just how it is.

“Just got to get on with it, enjoy it, keep smiling, it’s al l good”

Selby well beaten tonight. 

 

Questions even after this season need to be asked about ranking points, how on earth is he world number 1?

 

I know he's the World Champ but I'm sure I see the likes of Higgins, Trump, O Sullivan etc in the latter part of tournements week in week out
