World Snooker Championships 2014

Cannot believe he missed that. It's as if he is trying to make things difficult for himself!

 

[Wolver]

Pressure and nerves getting to both players. Great final so far

 

[hughy]

Great session from Selby. Unbelievably careless stuff from the two of them chasing the yellow in the penultimate frame!

 

[dagraham]

Can't believe that miss. Ronnie is normally so good under pressure as well. Don't think he'll come back from this.

 

[AW?]

Enjoying the way Hendry explains what part of the white they are aiming to hit on the more complex shots. Great insight.

 

[mpickard2087]

All over in my opinion.

All over in my opinion.

Not sure yet

All over in my opinion.

Never write Ronnie off, plus Selby has never had to close out a World Final before-agree that its looking like Selby but I wouldn't want to put money on it

Concentration has gone and is missing too many pots. Selby has done well to turn this into a scrap and I just cant see it getting overturned given how he has played today.

 

[tototoner]

Selby could choke yeah but Ronnie needs to sort out they silly mistakes, the more scrappier the frames the more that helps Selby

 

[Spurger King]

Oooooooohhhh what a miss!!!

Come on Ronnie. Selby is playing the better snooker though, and I'd be surprised if he doesn't go on to win now. Ronnie's just making too many mistakes.

 

[tiger666]

What a pot on that yellow

 

[mpickard2087]

Moments of magic there though, I reserve the right to change my original statement

 

[AW?]

Love it.

 

[tototoner]

Cannot see Ronnie winning 4 frames on the bounce

 

[mpickard2087]

Well done to Selby, fought his way back and managed to turn it into his sort of game.

 

[kr1978]

Very well played by Selby, great clearance under that sort of pressure. Well done to him

 

[hughy]

I don't care what Ronnie said, a lot turned on that pink.


So happy for Selby. Deserves it.

Good for snooker in the end.

Whilst Ronnie is an entertainer, and clearly the best player in the world when he wants to be, it was starting to make a mockery of the competition that he could just turn up and win it without seemingly trying.

Has Ronnie threatened to retire yet?

Surprisingly, held his own even when losing - quite impressed, because I was expecting the tantrum type, I'm never playing again!

Good to see actually, and whilst it wasn't particularly good to watch - lots of mistakes, slow tactical game, fair play to Selby at doing what he did.
