Lets get rid of Slowby next.
He's definitely one of the most boring snooker players to watch for sure.
That weird gurn where he shows his teeth...
Strange.

Selby is ridiculously negative, even when trailing in a frame

This frame we are on at the moment, 40 odd points behind and he is chipping reds along the cushion one nanometre at a time

I'm afraid i'm another one who thinks Higgins is as guilty as sin. Afraid for his life my ass, he was just thinking of something that would dig him out of the st! Whilst i respect his 147, a great achievement, i would like to see Maflin beat him!
As guilty as a pop star at a sleepover in Neverland

Glad to see the back of him - awful the way the BBC fetes him with no mention of what happened

He's a serious competitor, very happy to bore and frustrate opponents into mistakes and impatience.

Hard to like. Hard to beat.

Who is the new whispering bellend commentator? He’s utterly contradicted himself within two sentences blithering on About the plodding, dull, crawling, tedious Selby.
Dave someone, only talks in cliches.

From the realm of football I believe.

He is bloody awful. No knowledge at all , just a list of repetitive soundbites coupled with a terrible impression of Ted Lowe.

He is the first commentator that I cannot listen to , so I have it on mute. He is simply winging it and I have no idea who has put him on there.

Shame Selby stayed in. Hateful player to watch but the fat cheat being out is welcome.

biggrin - it’s bloody awful!

I’m surprised they haven’t used a recording of a fan shouting ‘c’mon Ronnie’.

I don't get the hate for Selby, I would have preferred to see his opponent win, he had a couple of chances in the final frame, but I don't mind Selby at all.

I don’t mind Selby either. The only thing I would question is his nickname the ‘Jester’ , as I personally find him devoid of any comic ability at all.

I don't mind him as a person, but he just bores the arse off me to watch him play snooker.
