World Snooker Championship

[blue to the bone]

4 unbelievable frames by luca there.
Didn't look like missing

Hendry coy as anything whilst Murphy chatted on about 'bantz on tour'. I'm fairly certain the tour do not all get along like some episode of the Brady bunch.

This is gonna be 18-17

This is gonna be 18-17

I hope so. I like to see a player keep his nerve when the heat is on. That's the best way to win it.

But Selby is hanging on by his fingernails. If Brecel keeps his nerve, he'll win it. Next two frames are massive though, but then we've been saying that for 24 hours now...

 

[Drico]

Yup, my 18-11 prediction looks a pretty good one.

Selby has been outplayed. He can't have any excuses. Way off the required standard today and full credit to Luca. Assuming he holds his nerve - and I don't see why he won't - stick a fork in it. A great day for the European Union.

The other point to make is that if you beat the two greatest players in the world - and of the era - you are full value for your world title.

You dont fluke a two week, multi frame, tournament win against the best in the world. You might not ever do it again, but for those two weeks, you proved to be the best in the world. I love the Bank Holiday Monday climax, so to speak, so hope its a long session later.

Fire lit, glass, well bottle, of red, and tacos plus snooker is the perfect BHM night in my world.

*with one ear on events in Leicester*

 

[Rita_Poon]

As good as all done bar the shouting here. amazed he didn't try the up n down pink there.

 

[blue to the bone]

Well in brecel. Won the last 2 frames when all the pressure came on

 

[Rita_Poon]

That looks like that.

18-15 to Brecel. As that pink fell, he knew. Selby will win a fifth. Well done the Europeans. Honourable mention to Si.

 

[Amw79]

Well in Brecel, great to watch.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Oh dear, think that's an eye waterer.

 

[tommye]

Congratulations Luca Brecel. Cracking watch that.
