The Crucible has been named in top 10 English Sporting Venues(my dream to go there 1 day)
Have you been? I have never, my mates go normally just never got round to it. Done a couple of others like Welsh open when in Newport.
No, hence why I said my dream is to go there,
Would love to go there on final day
With Ronnie lifting the trophy ideally Same i have wanted to go, suprised i haven't been to be honest.
I stand by what i said 2 years ago Ronnie wil not win another World Championship(unless its the seniors)
I am hoping he proves you wrong, i did think you included the UK in this too?i could be incorrect.
On this seasons form he is the one to beat still but again whether he can sustain it for the big one. Needs to do it sooner rather than later, definitely the fave this year, Selby hasn't really fired yet. Trump seems to fail whenever you expect him to do well, Higgins similar boat as Ronnie but prob just as much chance. Alot of tough players now to beat though so will be a good one.

A few months ago I did say he wouldnt win the uks either but also said because of the shorter format now i might be wrong(obviously i was)
But with the worlds, when he lost to Hawkins in 2016 i said he wouldnt win another 1, People are still saying he could beat Hendry's record as he is only 2 behind, I think its more likely that Selby will overtake Ronnie(Selby on 3 so 2 behind ronnie)

Thanks i did half remember you including the UK, but again agreed as its not as long a format as it used to be so it probably doesn't suprise you.
I do live in hope he proves you wrong, as i am a Ronnie fan that is all. I don't personally think he will get to 7, but its not impossible and still half a chance to get 1 more. Selby might suffer from more quality around these days and alot more potential winners of all tournaments so might be harder to dominate as he has done recently. Selby deserves alot more credit than he gets and still the man to beat

Agree with your last comment(and not just because i am a massive Selby fan)
He has won 3 of the last 4 worlds 1 behind John Higgins 2 behind Ronnie

Selby will be a bit annoyed. Dont think he heard the ref say touching ball before he agreed to the re-rack, if he had done he would not have agreed to it
Bit of comedy here All the crowd laughing, Both players and referee.
Williams hit and hope after 3 minutes thinking time 5 reds moved but he hit black first, selby asked the ref to put balls back, whilst the ref was doing this williams hid the white
Williams 2-0 up Selby 5-3 up At 5-3 up Selby had a horrible kick to win 6-3 Williams pulled it back to 5-5 Selby missed a red along the cushion Williams potted the last red and the colours to win
Can't believe Day won that - he was 3-0 down this afternoon!
Reminds me of yesterday's game. I watched Selby vs Williams until Selby was 5-3 up & something like 50 points up & in amongst them. I had to go out at that point & thought no more about it. Found out this morning that Williams won 6-5!
Bit of a sad attmosphere and not much cheering at first as it was announced 1 of the table fitters who was 25 and had been working with World Snooker for 6 years has died

Mark Selby v Mark Williams
Come on Selby
Been looking forward to this for weeks now
1 re-rack
Could be a great tournament.
Dont think he heard the ref say touching ball before he agreed to the re-rack, if he had done he would not have agreed to it
All the crowd laughing,
Both players and referee.
Williams hit and hope after 3 minutes thinking time 5 reds moved but he hit black first, selby asked the ref to put balls back, whilst the ref was doing this williams hid the white
Great that at the Masters with the score at 4-3
Williams 2-0 up
Selby 5-3 up
At 5-3 up Selby had a horrible kick to win 6-3
Williams pulled it back to 5-5
Selby missed a red along the cushion
Williams potted the last red and the colours to win
Round 1
Mark Williams 6-5 Mark Selby
Round 1
Mark Allen 6-3 Luca Brecel
First 4 frames the match was tight but Allen was to strong for Brecel(on his masters debut)
and advances to the Quarter final
Ryan Day's first apperance at The Masters since 2010
Ryan Day 6-4 Ding Jungui
Judd Trump v Liang Wenbo now

For Liang Wenbo
Already had a 147 this season is another coming
10 Blacks
