Thoughts? Selby irritated by a couple of hit and hopes? It’s a fucking sight more irritating watching him tuck in behind the yellow again and again and again and again.

Hope Ronnie can turn it on this weekend. If anyone deserves another work title it's him. I don't think the ginger nugget is one of them, sure someone on here said that, he was very unlucky but think he will be back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be the boost he needed,He made the break through about 5years ago and has slipped a bit in the last couple of years . He is the best Scottish player to emerge since McGuire ,I don’t know McGill personally but he’s friend of a friend and unlike McGuire he’s a really focused and clean living guy so it’s hard to say why his career stalled ,who knows he might have popped his cherry 3 or 4 years ago ,This run will give him some self belief that he can compete again at the highest level Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selby was just being a greeting faced wee wean. Couldn't handle the fact that he should've won that match and chucked it away. What was it he lost? 50k? 75k for the loser and 125k for the loser of the final. Or is it 125k for the loser of the semi and 250k for the loser of the final?

Misteral 2,932 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Slightly off topic. back in 2001 I had a fiver on Feargal O'Brian @ 80/1 to win the UK Championship (IIRC).( I don't know why, I must have read something somewhere about him). He gets to the final and is leading 8-2 (19) at the end off first session. I had surprise tickets for my girl for the last session (only £20 each on line I'm sure) and off we headed to Ally Pally excited as fuck in the old motor. We'd never been to a match before. I have to say the atmosphere was fucking brilliant but unbelievably O'Brian went on to blow it 9-10. Stupid Irish bastard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie0202 12,272 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I notice nobody has mentioned this all week but the World Senior's has been on the BBC red button.
