An inspired pre tournament selection from the Sporting Life's Simon Crawford then , that might even be his first time tipping a Snooker tournament winner since he took over from the Sporting Life's last hopeless Snooker tipster.....;):eek::thumbup:

Snookerbacker abandoned the O'Sullivan ship earlier for Selby :

Snookerbacker quote :

" Selby to me this week has looked very much like the player that won two world champiosnhips and Ronnie dodged a bullet which was even bigger than Marco’s watch last night to get here. So if someone had a second one in the barrel and it was pointing at my head, the name I’d give is Selby. I’m actually quite surprised that Ronnie is such a clear favourite with the BOOKIES. "

so in a way the sporting Life's Simon Crawford & Snookerbacker both tipped the winner . Congratulations Mark Selby ! :smile::thumbup:
 
Fun and games.....

I don't know about anybody else but when you first start going into the Snooker Halls eventually a red & a colour sat over a pocket & it would be re-rack & if you said no it would be , say it's the Red & Black touching over the pocket it would then be , right , respot the Black & put the Red in the middle of a back cushion & if you still said no it was odds on your opponent smashed the Red & Black to pieces and you'd say why did you do that & it would be , look , I'm flat broke & so are you , there's no time or money for tip tap Snooker , could be here all night so rack'em up again & leave that stuff to the Pro's ! :wink::):grin-square::grin::D:thumbup:
 
Superb final.

The standard of snooker at the moment seems to be getting better and better. Lots and lots of centuries and Selby certainly isn't running scared of O'Sullivan.

I think Selby and Higgins are the boys to beat at the moment as you never know when Ronnie's up for it or not and that will cost him as time goes forward as the others are hard at it with practice and entering all comps.
