I find myself laughing out loud at your past 2 comments...cheers for the laugh

I had a more elaborate version with Virgo swinging through the glass on the mic cord Tarzan style, but was going a bit far

Selby imo is a real grinder, like Thorburn was. He plays the percentages and pounces when he gets the chance. I still like watching him move around the table and I can almost see his brain at work thinking about all the options and picking the best one out (percentages). Good matchplay...my style exactly

I appreciate his style. I just dont find it skillful. I find it asif he isnt good enough to pot, so all he does is hide behind other balls.

Another jammy shot by Selby.

I just picture him in that booth in a cold sweat untill he sees the white heading towards the pocket, then he leaps to his feet starts thumping the glass screaming his catchphrase.

Selby getting the run of the table, as per usual.

Heart was in my mouth then for the yellow. Some great snooker here by Dott. Outplaying Selbys safetys. But we know selby will play for ages on safetys.

indeed that was much over the top from JV. And he was doing so good with toning that bs done lately...

Virgo as usual reaching the point of orgasm screaming about the cueball....starting to grind badly that BS.

Yes. I think you are right. And the problem with that approach from a spectator point of view is that it's really boring. He may be number one but I really don't like the way he plays the game. Almost zero entertainment from my point of view.

He lets others play the game so he can pick the pieces up. He doesnt go out to play snooker and to win, he plays to pittle the opponent into a phase of boredom, refuses to take any form of challenging pots and instead aims for safetys so the opponent makes a mistake and he cleans the mess up with ease.

He'll never be remembered as performing anything special because all he does is play safety as oppose to any half challenging pots and it right pittles me off.

Be careful, you'll have the Selby police after you in a bit.

I've said this before and although it doesn't make sense its the only way I can describe Selby's play. He plays to avoid defeat, not to win, its the only adage I can think of that sums up his play.

Which would make me Kermit? Common...everybody loves Hazel

Hopefully Dott can keep up the pace, good lead but it wouldn't be surprising if Selby starts grinding him down.

[PatBlock]

Squirrels and birdseed...what's next? Sometimes these two are like the 2 old geezers in the Muppet show
