Mark Selby, Boring Or What!!

[saintpeter48]

He is sooo boring and lucky as well, everytime he misses he leaves nothing or he leaves Ronnie in a snooker!! Its like watching Steve Davis, Peter Ebdon and Graham Dott all rolled into one, boring boring boring!!!

[craft1948]

I still rate Stephen Hendry as the best yet.........

[royfromaus]

We came to see a top-class Snooker Match and were not disappointed tonight.


It was far from top class tonight.
Take a look at the head to head, craft. Ronnie is the best ever.

[douglas9401]

There are a few on here tonight could take their cue (geddit) from Ronnie O'Sullivan and applaud a champion.
There's a reason it was on the BBC and not E!.

^^ Your first and second sentences appear to contradict each other...

[jeffa]

^^ That was to roy.

[royfromaus]

The first sentence was copied from methyl's post, jeffa.

[craft1948]

But Hendry holds the record for most seasons at number 1.

[royfromaus]

Selby needed too many visits to the table to win frames. I stand by my comment, no classic!

It would appear that some of you would have preferred it if Mark Selby had stood toe to toe with Ronnie O'Sullivan and lost 18 -4 or some such one-sided score. Just read the first few lines of the 'question author'. "He is sooo boring and lucky as well, every time he misses he leaves nothing or he leaves Ronnie in a snooker." Boo bloody hoo! And note the familiar use of the Christian name without the surname. (Posters on the bedroom wall, perchance?) And i guess some of you may be talking out of your pockets. Snooker is not all about potting, safety is just as much a part of the game - hence the name Snooker. And, when the safety play is as good as it was from Selby, it makes for a fascinating contest.

O'sullivan lost it last night. He should have been virtually home and dry because last night... Selby was bloody awful!

[magicmick]

Well said methyl, I think you are the first person to say you play the game,
I to have played at a good level of snooker for some 45 years, so like me
I think you understand the game, safety is a big part of the game. These are
not exhibition matches they are World Title matches, I am sure Ronnie has safety
shots in his locker, at the end of the day Mark won more frames and you don't do that
playing all safety shots.

[jeffa]

"Selby was bloody awful!"

You really need to get your telly fixed - he won on mine...

[Sipowicz]

Boring? Maybe if you support O'Sullivan. I thought it was fascinating, there's more than one way to skin a cat!
