Anyone but Selby, ta.

By:
Selby is playing negative, even for Selby
|
|
By:
Not taking on that pink just sums up the fudging pool player.

By:
All this granite talk is naueating.
He deliberately tries to knock opponents out of stride with gamesmanship. Hopefully Allen can stand up to it as it gets worse the further behind he gets. |
|
By:
Exactly.
Selby deliberately takes an age over ever shot to simply put his opponents off. There's a video on Youtube where he takes more time over a single shot than Ronnie does to make a 147. |

Perfectly sums up why I can't stand this anti-snooker coont.

Holy cow there was no need to take that long.

Here is Foulds calling out the negativity. More of this and less of the granite nonsense cheers.

What a steal by MS needing a snooker
Not sure it will affect Allen as badly as it would others, though |
|
By:
Allen is playing nearly as negative and just as slowly.
|
|
By:
Plus safety is just as valid as a part of the game, so don't get people's problem with it myself.
|
|
By:
Watching selby is pure torture his game is stuck in the 70s 80s
|
|
By:
I get it that some people enjoy that part of the game but for me personally it’s tepid to watch
|
|
By:
I enjoy the skill of safety just as much as watching potting during games - they are both high skills to show.
|
|
By:
The winner of this game surely wins the final and I think they both know that

ANYONE WANT TO LAY ME 3/1 THE CHINA MAN OUTRIGHT FOR A BAG O SAND !

By:
Finally Selby starting to move up the gears in his play...
|
|
By:
Selby's like a lumbering heavyweight trying to wind up for a devestating hay-maker. Allen's a bit more like Manny Pacquiao, just jabbing and moving - a bit more agile... Feels a bit like that. To be honest Si is making them both look like dinasours atm...
|
|
By:
Poor red miss there though...
|
|
By:
...and straight back again
 |
|
By:
I think when it goes scrappy, he's trying to match Selby's pace is Allen - lots of thinking time. But when he's in the balls - he is spritely...
|
|
By:
If Selby does prevail here, that frame 10 green ball fight may look pivotal- a small hinge that turns a big door.

WD to mark Selby on winning the 2023 WSC
 …save me doing it later |
|
By:
...not sure about that... This is not vintage Selby... yet.
|
|
By:
Any one to win tournament..but not Selby
|
|
By:
He's my favourite player personally in terms of being a table genius at his best, but I realise many prefer just watching balls get knocked into the easy pockets here...
|
|
By:
Its not that, we just want to see good play. Selby is obviously a top player ...a Rolls-Royce. Is he a master of the dark arts? Maybe...
|
|
By:
But 'good' play can be both safety play and potting breaks surely? Both key. He can do both, and he switches style when he feels it's best to do it. That's a great player all round.
|
|
By:
Fair enough...
|
|
By:
TBF, Allen is giving him a stern test so far though and Selby does show dips in periods of his play - he's still beatable of course.
|
|
By:
I enjoy him, with reservations. However, I think the game, in light if this match-fixing scandal, needs Si to breathe some new life in... If he does do it, they will be talking about it as long as the game is played.... Si is the phoenix from the ashes ;)
|
|
By:
How Selby is such a clever player, his immense safety drains the opposition player so they make errors, just like this last on from Allen.
|
|
By:
Si is the story this year, whatever happens from now...
|
|
By:
It is fair enough just not for me!
|
|
By:
I agree about Si - it has been a new wave for sure.
|
|
By:
Selby has been a good result since the beginning, personally I don't mind the way he plays in the slightest. However it has been absolutely excellent having Si on the scene and if does go all the way then I'll be delighted with that.

loads of empty seats in the front rows, no wonder when Hearn has put them at around £400 plus for century club package
