It doesn't matter what one's opinion is on that topic. It's like being asked for an opinion whether or not Ronnie O'Sullivan has made the most maximum breaks. He has. Discussion over.

I've built a snooker-themed bathroom. It's Head & Shoulders above the rest.

Classic Irish sarcasm.
Classic Irish idiocy, more like.
Mate,
what the buck is your problem with the Irish? Let's go outside a minute.
You, and you alone, are my problem with the Irish.

True, except that one can have a meaningful opinion on the ranking system itself that is responsible for Selby's number 1 ranking status...

I enjoy stereotyping entire races and nationalities based on the behaviour of a few individuals.

I already apologised to Dan. My mistake that one.
Look, I'm Finnish. It's my natural instinct to be grumpy, but I try to be fair. Your constant tongue-in-cheekness frustrates me sometimes.
I'm also a damn perfectionist and prone to pointing out errors (factual or argumentational) when I see them. I think I've mostly raised valid points though.
I can be fun too. Just look at my hilarious joke about bestiality in the Life section.

Ignore the posters you are not into, and if you can’t, then are you sure this is the place for you? It’s bit like someone on twitter moaning about someone’s tweets: there is an unfollow button.

Q School is in May after the Worlds. From memory it might be streamed online. Ash would just call it rubbish anyway as it doesn't have Ronnie or Judd.

you could argue he was extreamly lucky in the decider against Selby in Ireland their first meeting in 2 years since the UK Final Selby won

On the bright side for Ronnie fans, the event in Ireland was not one of Ronnie's tournament wins, so getting lucky to beat Selby doesn't feel "too bad".
If the luck you're referring to was the red that Ronnie fluked while escaping the snooker, it is (of course) also true that Selby was extremely luck to fluke Ronnie into that snooker in the first place. Selby missed a pot and could have easily left Ronnie in a match-winning position, rather than in what was almost a match-losing snooker for Ronnie...

I think that's a bit unfair, you classifying me as a constant moaner based on that initial post. I've posted a lot about snooker already.
And since when have disagreements not been a part of internet forums? Your funny one-liner society here is all good, but I think there's more to a snooker forum than that.
