Great win for Selby, delighted for him and Murphy made a game of it too. Since having kids I really haven't got to sit down and watch a final in years.
Used to spend 2 days in the pub in the 90s watching Hendry beat White.

God bless a yellow warning  excuse to stay home

I don't know what everyone is on about, praising the crowd for being great at the Masters. Shouting while players are on a shot, banging and thumping in the background, moving about and phones going off. Worst behaviour I've ever seen at a big tournament, more like the crowd at the darts a couple of weeks ago.

Agreed, don't mind a bit of noise after big shots but stupid carry on elsewhere.

Didn't see much of the Masters

Heading to Sheffield in April for the World Championship
First time there
Really looking forward to it
We have tickets for an evening sessions & a morning session
Both 1st Round
It sells out fast

Anyone been there?

Watching the end of Ding and Kyren Wilson, great game.

What are we thinking this year? I've a feeling Robertson has the biggest chance.

[Carnage]

God I hope not, he's so boring to watch - though not as bad as Selby, the dullest man ever to pick up a cue. I'd like to see Williams win, I can watch him all day but if I was rooting for someone new I'd like to see Wilson do well.

Nah I think Robertson has some great shots in him. But yeah Selby is a yawnfest. Ding unlucky in his match today.

My money is on Wilson or Higgins this year. Basically I've always backed Higgins and a few years back I decided to do the same with Wilson as I think he definitely has a World Championship in him. Unlucky to get Ding in the first round but having come through that it should stand him in good stead. Williams looks good early doors, wouldn't mind seeing him go all the way again at all.

Wilson has the willpower to reach a final but the in form talents always beat him with raw talent and just magic shots.

Speaking of magic shots ,young Zhao is on fire tonight. Nice visuals while soaking up the new Undeath.

He's definitely playing well yeah

[Thorn]

I'm starting to wonder if Yan's the man this year

[Carnage]

He's playing very well alright. I hope it's him or one of the two others that wins it for the first time, always nice to see someone new win it.

[CorkonianHunger]

Yeah I'm a big fan. He seems to not let any pressure get to him.

Lisowski v Robertson was a great game the other night, Jack was haunted.

[Carnage]

He's impressed me this year, up to now he's been a perennial nearly man.
