    For Brecel tondo virtually same thing against Ronnie and now Si is bizarre to say the least.

    Great stuff still no Chinese winner, brilliant!!! I am sure a couple of far east fixers are even more delighted and a bit richer too.

    What's this strange anti Chinese player thing you seem to have?

    For you to say that you must have read thus thread. Explained further up. For at least a decade players like Murphy and O Sullivan have been banging on about Chinese players, them dominating the game and naming numerous players as a future world champion tip. One day no doubt the world championship will move to there. I'm quite happy for them to continue to not live up to the hype.

    He played some amazing snooker, no way could that be fixed.

    I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he's referring to the match fixing inquiry that is currently happening, rather than saying all Chinese are bent.

    Hmm. Seems a bit odd to slate Chinese players in the same line though. Not a good look combined

    Well, it is some players from China who have been suspended from tournaments.

    That doesn't exactly equate to "great stuff still no Chinese winner" unless of course all Chinese snooker players are corrupt

    Do the audience get a refund if it's Selby they end up seeing?

    I did read your earlier comment and just wondered if you had a better explanation beyond causal racism.

    Allen playing poorly tonight it's very scrappy. I'm managing to watch it so far but not sure i can take 2 days of Selby trying to grind Bracel down.

    Brecel said he thought he'd lose concentration against Selby. He needs to go all out for the shots to counter that from the off, Mark isn't playing at his best!

    Its a shame for the Chinese kid, but what an ace comeback from Jean Claude lol. And hey, I thought they only did beer and chocolate in Belgium. :rolleyes:

    I've watched almost all of the other match and I never knew Selby was this bad at 'grinding', at total shi*thousery on the snooker table. :eek:

    I must admit, I quite like it. Wouldn't be great if all the players were like that though!
