Lee Walker v Darren Morgan
Igor Figueiredo v John Parrott
Stephen Hendry v Patsy Fagan
Michael Judge v Patrick Wallace
Barry Pinches v Dennis Taylor
David Lilley v Philip Williams
Ken Doherty v Joe Johnson
If Hendry is serious about his comeback he should be beating this lot comfortably.
Jimmy owns the seniors, he can’t be stopped.
Hendry needs to start clinching these seniors events.
Buck me some Selby fans are deluded:
How many world titles can Selby win?
PostBY GRANITE » 15 MINUTES AGO
With 4 now and having the perfect game tailored for the Crucible I think he can go on and break Hendry's titles.
Over 4 sessions it's impossible to stop him. Only way to beat him is to literally go for broke and hit and hope shots because that's how good Selby is.
For me Selby's already the GOAT. He's got less world titles but has the more impressive and hardest competition in his world finals.
Above is the exact reason I didn’t want Selby to win.
By the way, when Higgins won his 4th, loads of people called him GOAT and said Ronnie would never win another World Title.
That’s why I hate these kinds of debates because people need to wait until careers are over or at least tailing off before these discussions.
With no young players coming through, it is a possibility that Selby could win more, but then any of the top 5 or 6 players could too.
Also, the Ronnie and Higgins he beat in the 2014 and 2017 finals were nowhere near peak Ronnie or Higgins.
If Murphy was more clinical in the first 3 sessions of the match, he probably would have won last night. I would have fancied a Ronnie, Higgins, Judd in good stroke in that final.
Ronnie stopped Slowby over 4 sessions 9 months ago, it's a good job he doesn't post on here... He'd soon get back in his box
Yes and Ronnie had his major peak around 2000-2008
Already he has a 20-11 dominant record against Selby. This is when most of their matches are with the old Ronnie and a peak Selby
Image if they played more when Selby was young and Ronnie was at his peak?
I'm dying to play snooker, clubs supposed to be back open in UK on 17th May.
Awful viewing watching Slowby win another world title with his brand of anti snooker
enjoyed seeing the crowds back ...that was great
bit gutted slowby won another world title though
trump and robbo in particular have gotta start doing themselves justice in the worlds tbh
1 world title each for them, whereas slowby now has 4 is grim
Agreed peks, let's hope Judd can win it next year and the next 5 years after that too
Steady on Arsenal, somewhere there Ronnie has to join Hendry.... As long as Selby doesn't get to 5.... 🙄
Lol you know what I'm like though.
Looking forward to the seniors, even if the standard will be terrible 😂
Peks... Absolutely, Judd & Neil need a couple more each... Just no more for Slowby....
I hope the likes of Dennis Taylor, Joe Johnson and Tony Knowles can at least put up a fight lol
Taylor & Johnson were totally woefull last year, I'll stick by what I said, I'd give them a game 😂
I love how much Selby winds up the "Come on Ronnie" crowd. A man rapidly approaching his 50s who still thinks Oasis are cool.
I'll love it when Selby wins his seventh title.
