That's some crazy bad luck Utj. Hope you get to see one soon.Up the Junction wrote: ↑Sun Apr 30, 2023 10:37 pm Me neither - still!
I've watched most of the final today and nipped out for a bath - right before Selby's maximum.
Also watched the Thornburn match live when he did it for the first time 40 years ago but missed that particular frame as well.

Re: Snooker: Cazoo World Championship 2023
I was at the U.K. Championships in 2016 when Mark Allen got a 147. Unfortunately, it was in the early rounds, the last 64, with a multi-table setup and he was on the table on the far side of the auditorium so I didn’t have a good view. But still...

Going to call this now. Selby is done. Brecel looking like he could pot every ball while wearing a blindfold.

13-8 now Brecel. No way back now for Selby. Brecel is playing some amazing Snooker.
Won all 4 frames including 3 centuries.

Re: Snooker: Cazoo World Championship 2023
Anything can happen still but Brecel has got to be favourite now. Selby is tough as nails and Brecel will have in the back of his own mind that he was 15-6 down to Si in the semifinals only to reel off 11 straight frames.
Hopefully we’ll see a new name on the trophy tonight.

Re: Snooker: Cazoo World Championship 2023
Selbey is probably the only player I would even give any chance of coming back from 15-10
I don't think he will, but he is Mark Selbey and revels in that kind of situation
My ideal scenario is that Selbey makes a fist of it, but Brecel wins
@Belgian Iron - i have been following Brecel's career for a while as i like unusual participants in sport i.e a Belgian snooker player. Is he at all well known in Belgium though? I know Belgium (like Netherlands) love the darts, but i am assuming snooker is not on the radar?

This was when Davis, Thorburn, Big Bill, etc were dominating the game. My friend used to be a practice partner with Willie Thorne, both from Leicester. His opinion of Dennis Taylor was “complete and utter w*nker, arrogant and got worse after he won the world championship.

Selby on the comeback trail. 4 on the spin. Now only 14-16 down.

Regardless of who wins, I hope it goes all the way. You can't beat a 18-17 World Championship Final.
