Who is the most boring player?

Discuss.

Ace has just PM'd me, and wants me to ask why the greatest player of all time Judd hasn't been included in your poll?

EAT CROW, FOOL!

I don't find Ebdon that boring or Joyce.
Not seen much of Lawler so that leaves Carrington and Walker.

I would say Walker

I went for Carrington who has not got an ounce of flair in his entire body.

I might have gone for Walker, but there was a time, many moons ago, when he was seen by a number of people as an up and coming young prospect.

Rod The Plod.

I would vote for Ebdon, but then the first snooker tournament I gave my full attention to was the 2002 World Championships. So you could argue Ebdon helped convert me into a fan.

Carrington without doubt. He needs to get a charisma bypass operation.

Ash my man, why isn't Selbo included in this poll ?

Edited the poll.

Absolutely true, but I can accept that when those players play Snooker in a normal fashion. Lawler and Walker especially are just too slow. Speed of play is the most important factor for me here.
Also, how has nobody mentioned Andrew Higginson so far?

Mark Selby and Kyren Wilson belong in the poll. They're widely considered "boring" players to watch, despite being very good.

Well it is all opinions and I have given mine so I suppose I should accept other people's opinions and respect them.

But I don't.

To say Mark Selby is the most boring player reveals a deep level of ignorance. The same could be said of Kyren Wilson but I digress. Selby has been involved in some of the most dramatic and exciting matches that I can remember over the past decade. So explain which matches of Walker or Lawler you have watched that were more exciting than any Selby match.

In fact I'll answer that - you can't. You can't because you have probably never seen those players and all you know about them is their AST.

I think what is at play here is a deep resentment of Mark Selby which is fine. But it does not make him boring. I am genuinely flabbergasted by this you see.

The point of snooker is that it is more subtle and more involved than other sports but no - all you want to see is quick potting and no tactics or strategy.

Load of bullocks.

This forum really is lucky to have me to balance out all the crap that is spoken.

To be clear, to say that Selby and Wilson belong in the poll isn't necessarily to say that I think they are boring: it's just to say that they seem widely-considered to be boring by many snooker fans.

Yes well I knew it wouldn't be you D4P to be fair.

You are a balanced poster.

Rixky Walden is the most handsome man in Europe.

I'm no Selbo fan, but that's a really good point. That alone rules him out for me.

I think he was part of the best snooker match of the decade, which was his World Championship semi-final in 2017 against Ding Junhui. Sport as close as it gets to divine.

0pkuren is boring.

Mark Selby is thoroughly deserving of his spot on this poll. Well done Mark.

No Rory McLeod?

His win over Judd at the WC was exciting enough all by itself to remove him from consideration.

Very very good!

I didn't expect Selby to be leading in this poll.
