Selby looked like he'd been up all night,state of his eyes as well and yawning,shouldve been 3-1 down,wouldn't rely on him from any position can't ot a ball more than three foot apart,nice easy match for Zhao/

Steve Davis expressing shock that Kurt Maflin has fallen off the tour just shows you how little he follows the game outside his own cosy little bbc bubble.
|
|
By:
I kind of know what he means. If ever a player screamed completely untapped potential, it's him. Reality is, he never gave himself a chance by missing half the season (played 7 tournaments this term), which has been a bit of a recurring theme throughout most of his career.
|
|
By:
I mean, i understand why kurt is where he is, but the context Davis was alluding to was merely of a player unable to cope with all the fantastic young talent overtaking him which is only part of the story, any arguably the lesser part of it at that.

Hard to know what you're going to get from Dave this season, but if he's going to go close, he invariably starts well.

That frame did feel massive didn't it, some really tasty snookering from baz there.

Huge, mate. Baz had been sooooo wasteful that session, as well as Jackson had played...

O'sullivans going to sluice up in these matches,the handicaps are like buying money unless Robertson turns up,he's going to beat these other players from 2 frames to their one,Gilbert might not even win another frame in that match..Will be the same in the Allen match and thats if he even gets through..The tables are made for the potters,absolutely crazy the balls that are going in,such a big advanatage for players like O'sullivan,Trum and Robertson..just boring to watch when you know they can't miss..Same old story.

Geeky Maguire crucible stat. Since 2013 he's been a crucible seed 7 times and beaten first round in 6 of them (proud holder of beaten 1st round as seed record with 7 overall). On the 2 occasions he qualified, he drew Ronnie in 2018, lost 10-7, and reached QF a year earlier. Never a bubbly enthusiastic mags backer but this might be the time for him. Surely practising hard all day while murphy was all boxed up in the commentary booth!

gj - I am absolutely amazed Murphy did a stint in the commentary box this morning. It makes no sense. I just hope it goes close and we get a bit of needle.

It's only Day 1 and Walker is alredy doing my head in. Yorkshire this, Yorkshire that, for cheap applause.
Allah help us all if he starts bringing Sheffield itself into his tedious announcements. Maybe for good measure he can make reference to a few Sheffield bands from days of yore like the Human League. I'll give him one for free. "He makes century breaks as easy as ABC..." |
|
By:
Davis wasn't very impressed anyway gobe. Murphy said the bbc basically made him do it, he had no choice, but i chose to interpret that as either an attempted joke or just typical murphy glib remark. Certainly a rather novel approach anyway!
|
|
By:
He does have form for it, TBF.
Maybe, but I just can't understand it. Then again, I'm still trying to come to terms with best-of-7s and UK matches that are best-of-11!! |

By:
Murphy has not only been in the commentary box, he’s been in all the kebab shops too! I don’t follow snooker too much so not having seen him in a while, I was shocked by his size
