I wished I’d backed Selt when like many on here I noticed he played well against Hendry, reason for not doing so was I thought the price looked skinny, it looks a damn site skinnier now.
I was pleased to hear it was a migraine that forced Ali to withdraw from The Welsh open, 2 tournaments in a row him and ROS have swerved each other, no suprise if they end up playing each other at Sheff, if Carter qualifies
Talking of while the occasional nr when backing horses ap is an acceptable pitfall, you don’t really expect it with snooker players, but in these covid times it would nice to see the books go nrnb, does anyone have a definitive list of bf forum snooker players nicknames please?

1-0 Lu.  Decent start for him.  Jack not settled.

Carro going 1-0 too.  Playing well.

Selt's not *that* bad full-stop, despite what some on here would say.  I'd got his scoring as 25th best on tour this season at the start of the week, which would have made him competitive against the vast majority of players.  He just happens to have backed it up with results here

As for nicknames, there's not that many, off the top of my head....  Leave it with me!

2-0 Lu

$hit or bust snooker from Jack

Thank Lat, some corkers there

2-0 Carro

2-1 Lu.  Bit better from Jack.

2-1 Carro.  Xiao getting going too.

3-1 Lu, Carro also going 3-1 barring snookers

3-2 Lu, Jack flying

Carro through 4-1, Jack back to 3-3

Wooooooooooooow

Jack wins after almost being the ultimate slack Jack.  Lu fails to punish.

v lucky Jack was playing a total bottle job..great potter,Jack but makes too many errors at the top level..holding him back

ES need to get a dedicated snooker channel

1-0 Selt

It's quite poor when they've covered as much as they early stages of the event as they have and then they essentially cast it aside at the business end!

1-0 Judd, BT up

i love the old cycling Lats..now we are in a new season and into the cusp of the Spring Classics their coverage is tremendous and takes precedence

where's that bobweenit dude?..slagging Selt off as a choker..he's hosing up in his matches,looks like winning this hard held..handicap mark will go thru the roof

2-0 Judd, 2-0 Selt barring snookers.

Sunday lunchtime = the in-laws.  Well and truly under the thumb is our Robert.

Tubbs properly getting his ar$e handed to him on a plate.  3-0 Judd, BT up

3-0 Selt

Ye left Ken of that list and Hendry

Selt's rising stock just about says it all tbh

You're right, Peck!

2-1 Carro!

2-2

3-2 Jack

Tree-tree!

Anyone know how many the final is best of please?

All the matches are best of 7, inc final.

Jack through.

Yeah, what Richard said, PDW!

Thanks chaps. Shorter trip must favour Jack you would think. Especially if playing Juddly again

He's got a puncher's chance, for sure!  Would help immeasurably if Selt could do him a favour here, too!  1-0 Selt!

How badly have you ballsed this up, Matt?!?

Judd steals from snookers required, 1-1.

1.01 frame 2 busted

Not surprised.  How much?

Only 400 ! Got a nice win that frame ! Shame there wasn't more money buyers around

Brilliant from Trump tho!!

Jesus, Matt

quite like this bo7 format throughout the tournie..get a lot less fluke results and the cream will rise..should adopt for Sheffield

Judd's a bit tasty when he's on it..turn the clock back the Nugget and Hendry's records would've been nowhere near what they are had he been in their era

That a boy Juddly

Judd v Jack, again, then!  Come on Judd, you've already picked up a good few quid this week courtesy of Selby's demise.  Let Jack get the monkey off his back!

Hell no!! Punish him Juddly

You just don't want Wonder to get the Jack monkey off his back!

WTF

How can he ever expect to win a ranking final playing shots like that in the first frame. Bellend

This could be over in 40 minutes

You know me well

Doesn't look like there's any danger of that happening anyway

Nope so Bright did well to hide on so0cial media. He knew the Arms regulars would savage him

What a plonker

Not you

GSM that pink

What is wrong with Lisowski ? - just gone in the head when in a final.

Don't think he really plays any differently to normal, TBH, Minardi.  He's been a bit unlucky that he's come up against Judd 3 times in his last 3 finals!

judd x3, robbo x2 & selby

0&6

Quite.

He plays a loose game.  That's him.  He was very lucky Lu let him off the hook this morning.

Yes Latalomne .. He's always pressure issues getting over the next barrier but with Finals its becoming insurmountable. He'll probably go and knock 3 frames in a row off now and then make a bad howler in the final frame.

a swift 4 zip

btw what I've seen of selt lately either moosive heater or moosive improver

Did you see his SF?  He'd got Judd in all sorts and totally let him off the hook.... 

Apart from the shoot out that was probably the quickest ranking final ever.

saw 1st 2 frames lats then had things to do, seen the last 2 of the final

saw full game against hendry he did not miss

Never recovered from losing that frame from snookers required.

they were saying hendry safety wasn't great, he left a long red cue ball was 1 inch off the top cush he knocked in it...comms blamed the safety!!

His pot success was insane that match.  Wasn't quite that good v Baz & Kyren - did miss a few - but his temperament had looked really good throughout the tournament until the end of that second frame v Judd, then he just lost it.

2 weeks off now until the tour championship

You or him?!
