Selby out

The thing about Selby going out is that another big name out of the competition

Is there a wee changing of the old guard going on in the game atm?

Whilst Selby isn't a great watch, hearing him in interview, it's sad to see that he's not in a good place mentally. I hope he can get any help he needs and sort himself out for next season.
I can appreciate his effort and battling qualities and off the table he seems to be a decent bloke.

I really don't think so. Ultimately in a tournament you can get upsets, but if you look at the season as a whole, there seems to be very few younger players coming through.
Given Selby's form leading up to the WCs, this wasn't as big a shock as expected. A lot of good players that have had to qualify - the likes of Maguire and maybe Bingham getting through aren't major upsets for me.

5-4 Williams

Heard that Selby has had some issues off the table. Hope it all gets resolved as soon as possible.

His wife's lovely IIRC.

Pang to be a surprise semi-finalist............you heard it here first

He did seem very low in the post match interview, almost talking like he may stop playing.

He has a chance of beating Milkins.

Wilson clears with 86 and trails 6-4. Game on!

Wilson steals the frame with a 57 clearance to the pink and trails 6-5.
