Snooker 2025

[EastAnglianFox]

Basically gonna be just like the Masters from the next round at this rate 

[The Bear]

Ugh. 

 

Selby and his joyless, soul-sucking, coma inducing snooker and Rob Walker on comms. 

 

If it wasn't for Desi I wouldn't bother having it on. 

[The Bear]

Jesus wept. 

 

The very first frame I watch and the colours are scattered everywhere and Selby is playing containing safety shot after containing safety shot because he doesn't want to open the reds up.

 

I hope for his missus' sake he's more interesting in real life.

4 time world champion, only player to get a 147 in a world championship final, top bloke, been through a lot, he can do whatever he wants, he has nothing to prove to anyone.

I never said he has, and I agree he's a great player. He's just interminable to watch at times.

I actually think I enjoy how annoyed people get watching Selby  and I do think he's held to a different standard to everyone else and people are just waiting to criticise. 

 

Problem Selby has, particularly these days, is finishing frames off. Them one or two extra balls in a break would shave his match times by a third..and then it causes frames to drag as he's so good (difficult to play against) in that situation.

Yeah ive mentioned this regularly

 

He can fly through a frame yet seems to start over thinking everything once he gets to the 50+ point mark, the amount of times ive seen him lose a frame when he only needs another red etc is frustrating as hell

[The Bear]

2 hours to play 7 frames. And in danger of being taken off for the afternoon session. 

 

At least with tickets to his matches you get your money's worth.

You do realise it takes 2 players to play a game of Snooker?

 

Jones also faces criticism for his style of play but you've said nothing of that.

 

Has Selby shagged your mrs/fella or something?

Lets be honest we only love Selby cos hes from Lestah.

If he was from Cov we would literally loathe him

Give him a break, he has to watch Leicester in his spare time.

Love watchinbg vafaei...which usually means he loses in round 1.

[Nalis]

Hope all 16 seeds go through to make history and then hope we never see it happen again

Always used to see him in my gym when I lived in sheff before he was a top 32 player. Nice lad, the Ronnie drama from a couple of years back was also hilarious

I don’t think he’s been the same since that tbh,  he’s entertaining to watch and loves the attention but trying that against Ronnie, fair to say it backfired massively

Si Jiahui is the first seed to go out.

Trump v the Iranian in the next round. You love to see it. 

[Foxdiamond]

How many idiots in the audience forget to have their phone on silent 

[purpleronnie]

15/16 seeds through, the joint highest ever.  Only happened twice before in 1983 - when Jimmy White lost to Tony Meo - and again 10 years later when Doug Mountjoy defeated seed Alain Robidoux.

[EastAnglianFox]

See ya Kyren!!

 

Hope this is the start of a rapid decline in the rankings

[The Bear]

Can't wait for Ronnie v Higgins tonight. Should be epic. 

[kingfox]

Seems Rusty Ron has been using plenty of WD-40

[RowlattsFox]

Higgins not giving Ronnie much of a game so far, although Ronnie is looking in pretty good knick. 

Seems to have a difference focus to what I've seen from him in the last few years.

Knows just when to turn it on. 

[purpleronnie]

Ronnies been poor, got to get it together if he wants to win.
