Not snooker but a cue sport.
A lot of people don't know the difference.

Selby has played in 4 WC finals
In how many finals did the 3rd session have to be cut short cause of Selbys slow play and where not all of the frames could be played?
3 times (WC 07, WC 14, WC 17).

So far of course he is, Selby likely wins this one so he'll be 2nd.
And Ronnie's gonna win that 6th World Title this year. If it's Selby then I'd tade Ronnie's rankers for those he won, but I doubt Selby wins.
And in the chance both meet in the Final, I do believe Ronnie wins it, especially after what happened in 2014. Some Selbo fans here, mostly Wild, seem to think he's unbeatable and that we dont believe Ronnie can beat him lol... I've been saying for a long time this season Ronnie's winning it, no matter who he faces. Ronnie at his best can destroy any player. And what's more impressive like Holden here says is that he's 42 years old. Other top players should be dominating but they arent, so hats off to that freak genius.

But this scoreline doesn't surprise me one bit..
Typical Hawkins who after a good win can't back it up. At The Crucible it's likely going to be the same.
Shame the first Best of 21 frames ranking final is likely going to end one sided.

Hmmm he can crumble like the best when he wants to can our Baz.
Isn't it supposed to resume now at 11:20 gmt??

Yes, Selby being out the game has been great for Ronnie and his legion fans, and yes Wildey is posting more now Selby’s back in the busisness end. It’s state the obvious day!
I'm high. Steve Davis and Kavos Torabi DJing were absolutely brilliant. What a party!

Hope Hawkins gets destroyed early this year. Can't be having him ruin the latter stages of another tournament like he has so many times before.

Selby hasn't been "out the game". He's been in it all season, but just not good enough to do anything until now.

Nah he hasn't felt like it or had his head on. All his defeats have been because he didn't want to win.

Selby said after his defeat to Donaldson at the UK that everyone keeps overperforming against him.

Trump said the same thing a couple of years ago actually. 'I'm playing fine, but people keep playing out of their skin against me.'

He's allowed on Twitter and I can confirm that he's more into tennis these days, and obscure Frank Zappa re-issues.

What will happen first? This match finishes or the pizza arrives?

Coland isn't on Twitter, he's on Twooter. And his favourite musician is the late Fred Zippo, not Frank Zappa. I think you're confusing him with someone else.

Why, when Ronnie loses this tournament early do we hear; "He's going to be fresh for The Crucible?"
Selby wins, it means he's favourite?

That must've been the fifth time today that they've announced that Joe Johnson is doing The Crucible draw.
