"Thames Valley police are investigating the death of an inmate at Broadmoor Hospital, Crownthorne, Berkshire.
A cause of death has not yet been determined. An autopsy will take place on Monday, April 23.
The inmate had been serving a 24-month sentence for groping a professional snooker player in the bathroom cubicle of a Leicester city snooker club in January. He had stalked the snooker player in question for a period of about 11 years and had previously been convicted of stealing dirty underwear from his South Wigston home.
The man was found unresponsive in his cell shortly after 9pm this evening. Efforts to resuscitate him proved unsuccessful. He had become increasingly agitated from midday, and his condition worsened in the hours leading up to his death.
The indident has been described by hospital staff as a 'tragic accident'."

They weren't at the start of the Selbo game.

I'd say it's a shame to see Selby go out, but given his standard in that match I'd rather not see him roping through like that, he's too good a player for that.

They should play some Frank Zippo on his funeral.

I'd say 70 procent of all posts on here are from Ronnie fans. Forum would be dead without us probably.

Now that Selbo is out, it might be time to tip my hat to one of the greatest players of all time who isn't done yet. Ronnie O'Sullivan owes us nothing.

I apologise to Ronnie fans about my earlier message saying they were absent when Ronnie does badly.
I was wrong.

Yes, I did. I was amazed all of you thought Selby and Ronnie are such heavy favourites! Selby has been average most of the season.
I almost predicted Selby to lose but I changed my mind
Еven when he wins tournaments, Selby is usually very poor in the first rounds. And this time he faced a very experienced player who almost beat Ronnie in 2014, not someone like Fergal or Michael White. Also, he was in good shape after winning three matches in best of 19 recently. I thought more people would go for the upset here.

Will definitely be disappointed if Ronnie goes out too. But the prospect of someone else having a real chance is enlightening.

Someone else will still have a real chance regardless. Ronnie isn't invincible, I would like to point out.

I sent a PM to PLtheRef asking him to chuck you out of the comp. He didn't listen.

Seriously, Carter's attitude is absolutely horrid.
