19.com English Open Final !!!!!

Selby is the 2019 English Open winner, beating David Gilbert 9-1. It is his 16th ranking title, and his first tournament win in over a year. Well played.

Wow, nice shot that Selby

Tremendous performance from Selby today good to see him back in form and winning fluently, albeit at the expense of someone I was rooting for this week.

I’m sure Gilbert will win a ranking event eventually, hopefully this season. Didn’t have much of a chance to get going today, Selby punished him emphatically for every error.

Finishes in style

+1

Selby has 97% pot success, missing only 7 pots. Ronnie won the same tournament two years ago with 97% pot success, missing only 6 pots.

Selby gonna cry

Nice speech Dave

Selby abusers on Twitter!!!!!

Well played Selby.

Of all the 4 finals Dave has contested, this one he didnt get a chance, yes he might have made the score more respectable, but Selby would always win the match.

VICKY!!

Is that Selby’s best performance in a final?

Selby was great wasn't he?

Badsnookerplayer wrote:Foulds confirming England as a great sporting nation

I used to be impartial with sporting teams/players. I supported England as a child because I was a Londoner. My father is from Cork and mother was from Essex although her father was Armenian. My name is fully Irish but my appearance is Eastern European.

For many years I have been indifferent to patriotism but have favoured England because I am a Londoner. However, since 'Brexit' I have heard such racism against anyone who isn't 'fully English' that I now dislike the country I have spent my most of my life in.

I know a lot of people who are English and whose parents are English and they are very nice but I also know there are a lot of people who think they are superior because they and their families are English.

By the way. England was once a barren land. Everyone came from somewhere else.

Brexit happened because so many people thought England was a special 'piece of land'.

The second world war finished in 1945.....

Why do you think I'm a Selby fan?

Yeah, English people used to be Belgian, but we threw them out for being too hooligan like. That's how England was born.

A good weekend for Leicester sport.

3rd in the Prem, Selby back to winning ways.

Happy days.

I think Selby comes across as a decent person

Life in Belgium was too simple for us.

Nah, we were sick of you lot. Eating your dirty fish and chips and drinking tea all the time.

I agree that England does not show enough respect for healthy eating and healthy lifestyles. Our health minister could learn a thing or two from talking to their Belgian counterpart...
