Agreed. Hes one of those who freezes up the most in front of the cameras. Theres no way hell ever reach the top 16 if he cant find a way to cope with this.

No its weird isnt it, he was the same in Wuxi earlier this season. I keep thinking he will sort it out but he doesnt. Nevermind I wanted Murphy to win anyway, this could be Murphys week, however he will lose in a decider to Ding I feel.

I hope Robbo wins this for the fans and the future of this tournament but wouldnt mind seeing Murphy taking it either.

No doubt about it Selby needs to up his game there's been some discussion about Murphy the underachiever but what about Selby.

He's still the most consistent player out there (by some distance) ...

But you should worry about Selby not taking this chances to win tournaments


He consistently wins. He doesn't consistently play well. I wouldn't mind him losing to Murphy or Ding, that's understandable. But losing to Burnett. Maybe this is just a one off, and we're just overreacting.

Stephen Hendry when he got Back to World No 1 in 2006 after 8 years without winning anything said "Its all very well being Consistent but i want to be a Consistent WINNER"

i think that's where selby is at now hes Done the Consistent thing got to World No 1 played everything been the model pro unlike some pansies out there But Now he really needs to put Silver in the Cabinet.

Selby's problem.......that stupid freakin glove <doh>

The glove only appeared on the cue sports scene with the advent of graphite cues (because they suck and get ridiculously sticky) but there's really no call for it.

He must miss Michael Jackson or something ;-)

I don't think he had the glove in this tourney. By all accounts, the conditions have been fantastic, so there's no need for it. Plus it got him and MJW to the final in Shanghai last year.

Unless you were joking ;-)

He was wearing it.

IMO there's never a need to wear it if you're using a wood cue. To my knowledge he's the only pro using it, anyone aware of anyone else?


The pic is from an old match. I watched the match today and he wasnt' wearing it. I think MJW and Marcus Campbell also wore gloves to Wuxi, with MJW also wearing one in several chinese tourneys last season. Not much of a player, so I'll take your word for it about it changing much. Still it got Selby and MJW to final in Shaghai and Campbell to his first semi, so it's not hindering them.

Perhaps high humidity in China prompted them to try it out. :chin:

I'm sure it works but it just looks so gay and isn't really needed.

Personally I wouldn't be caught dead wearing one in the club never mind being televised wearing it :gag:

Glad Selby is out :-D :-D :-D yeah he just can't be consistent when playing well in every match, nevertheless he remains at number 1 by some considerable distance, but should really have won more tournaments by now...

No more neck excuses this time around pmsl :telloff: :chuckle: just awful play from him.. I hope Murphy or Robbo win this title now.. A final between them or Robbo v Ding would be great..
