Snooker thread


Stephen is right about Allen being feisty but he’s so passive , he should have a sun lounger on his side of the arena

15-10

Murphy saying what we’ve been. You have to attack Selby

Exactly...you give Selby a chance to bore the life out of you..he'll do it!
Sport is supposed to be exciting...couldn't/wouldn't pay good money to watch Selby...yes you can argue its effective and gets results...but jesus it's pedestrian!!
 
Let’s assume Selby has won and how Brecel has to play to beat him

Imo if Brecel tries to get involved with worrying about what he leaves, when he misses then Selby will win comfortably

Luca has to draw him into a potting battle to have any hope imo.

One final I remember is Steve Davis v Joe Johnson the first one they played

Joe literally took it to Davis by playing shots that were outrageous at the time and walked around the table in the manner, he was playing in a social club

It got to Steve eventually and Joe won, of course Davis rectified that the following year final v Joe

Selby loves attritional snooker.. if brecel gets drawn into that..he'll lose by a country mile..like you say..attack is best form of defence

The only way Brecel can win is by doing what you suggest.

Brecel rattling Selby won't be easy, but he has to put all his eggs in the "fuck you" basket to stand a realistic chance of beating the 4 time champion.
 
Not sure of the stats but I do not classify Selby in the same bracket as Thorburn or Griffiths or other slow players of the past. He is far more strategic in how he plays, is capable of relatively quick breaks, and I do enjoy watching him.
However, when combined with another player playing the same way, like that geordie twat, his frames do get boring.

Agree on the comments about Brecel's potential strategy though, think that will make a great final and another win for the jester :lol:

Brecel plays his own game, I hope he fucks Selby up ♥️

We'll see, Luca has the skill to beat him tbh.

And now the ends is near

Allen’s had a cracking season though regardless but he’s approached this one wrongly for me
 
Is it possible to miss on these tables?

Final will be a right non contest.

Selby will just keep leaving brecel tempters with his no risk borefest snooker and hammer him when he misses
 
Allen has been awful in this match mind. Let himself get totally bogged down
Needed to play his own game, instead he got scared of Selby and retreated into his shell.
I'll be honest..had a couple of sporting heroes..one was Kenny Dalglish..growing up I thought he was the best footballer ever..and the other is Ronnie O'Sullivan..utter genius with the cue.
Ronnie is still my hero and favourite snooker player of all time........I'm his biggest fan ♥️
