Good luck Robbo

I've split it into a separate thread this time. Save any more hassle.

Robbie Williams should have beaten Walden. He lacked belief. Walden was garbage and got away with it,

With some rather high scoring we have a new leader tonight. Early days as of yet though - could well be a close run thing this year.

Yep, as a fan I feel let down, very very letdown....Ronnie, you runt!

No one seemed to care on here, funnily. I won't link them all, but if you look the story up, lots of outlets are adding different 'spins' and 'twists' to the it.

From what i've gathered, the main point seemed to be that Ronnie wasn't happy with the BBC due to questions they had asked other players about him specifically. He'd just been made to do an interview with the beeb a few days ago (It's on ES site and BBC site) about considering himself a 'great', but the BBC also went out and asked the likes of Bingham and supposedly Murphy, players that aren't exactly 'favourable' to Ronnie in interviews for lack of better word, to highlight that he isn't the greatest but simply a great. It's just journalism 101 tbqh, to have someone like ROS 'challenged' to become the 'greatest' and not just a 'great', just a bit of hype really.

But this seems to have rustled his jimmies. He's only snubbing the BBC. It's only press, so no one gives a toss and yesterday's thread was just about the snooker, as it should have been.

On another note, I only just read in the Crucible programme that the reason Leo Scullion hasn't been on tour is because he is recovering from a battle with lung cancer. Didn't know that. All the best to him.

Blegh, worst possible start for Selby. Loses first 4 frames. Unlucky Selby with the bad kick in the first frame, but Milkins has been playing a lot better today compared to yesterday. Has been in first in every frame. Meanwhile, Selby's long game and safety is still iffy. On the other hand, you can pretty much count on Milkins missing or getting himself out of position in every frame.

Selby does well enough to break Milkins' momentum, wins 2 in a row.
9-6

Selby steals the 16th frame, beats Milkins. Almost missed the final black though
