At least Judd would take it far better than Carter did

Carter was decent enough in defeat against Selby last week.

Its just O Sullivan he hates and vice versa.

Selby just been pummelled 5-1 by Marco Fu at the German Masters.

 

Another performance from Selby that was littered with uncharacteristic mistakes.

When does uncharacteristic become characteristic? 
 

Even when winning, I’ve never seen Selby not missing easy pots after going 50-0 up in a frame.

When his pot success is only 58%, surely you can class that as uncharacteristic?

Said it for a while now but Selby needs some time away…something isnt right, the way he breaks down when 50 odd points ahead time and time again isn’t down to bad luck

this makes sense. Poor Vicki, and Mark has had so much to deal with in his life for someone relatively young.

Thanks for that. 
 

After the World Championship final you knew something wasn’t right.

 

As that article says, huge credit to him for making the World Championship final with so much going on off the table.

Selby out of the Welsh Open after 2nd round defeat to Aaron Hill 4-2

 

Massive chance missed really for a ranking title with Ronnie and Judd not playing 

 

 

[Super_horns]

A 147 for Gary Wilson .

At the 2nd attempt.

Hope he wins the final. Martin O'Donnell is so dull to watch.

Wilson already 5-1 up.

[EastAnglianFox]

Imagine getting tickets for the Welsh open final then having to sit through this.

 

Good god, is O’Donnell usually this negative?

 

Wilson at times has looked embarrassed by his own performance

Very methodical player, statistically one of the slowest on tour.

 

He actually played pretty attacking Snooker in his win against Brecel a few days ago. 
 

But the usual boring version of O’Donnell turned up in that final 

[Nalis]

Agree on the above, awful final but felt like Gary Wilson was brought down to O'Donnell's level last night.

 

Players Championship on ITV4 this week. Trump v Walekin currently on.

[Nalis]

Ronnie v Selby on now. Couple of bad misses so far but I imagine the quality will improve as the match goes on.

[purpleronnie]

easy so far from selby

[kingfox]

That’s the best Selby has looked since the British Open in Sep/Oct imo. 

 

So good to see him play like that again

For the first time in months it looked like he was enjoying playing rather than it being a chore.

 

He can be brilliant to watch when he just goes and plays without overthinking every single shot which is what seemingly drags him down.

[Lionator]

Pathetic from O’Sullivan after the game.

Played with purpose tonight, scored well and played at around 23 seconds. 
 

You know Selby is at it when he flowed like he did tonight. 
 

Hopefully he can continue producing similar over the coming days...🏆

Refused interview

Refused interview 

Really, is that all? I'm one of his biggest critics and think he's a total bellend but I thought in this era of enlightenment on mental health we were more understanding of sports stars who don't want a camera and microphone shoved in their face immediately after a match.

Unfortunately Ronnie preaches about his own mental health while being consistently rude and offensive to others. Just look at his comments towards John Astley the other week.

Oh yeah I totally agree, as I said he's a bellend. Just don't think missing an interview isn't the biggest crime. He knows Selby is the one that has his number when he's on top of his game and he hates that. That's why he never mentions him amongst the dangerous players when talking about those that might challenge him. He know full well when all players are top of their game Selby is his biggest danger. Dodging an interview just shows he's rattled and possibly for once shows some self awareness as he didn't want to say anything he regretted.
