Anyone for some Snooker?

[MintMa]

So excited for the Snooker 🎱 today :) anyone else? Its good that it's on the BBC so advert free but love a bit of Jimmy on Eurosport. I have a soft spot for Ronnie but also most (except for Mark Allen and Stuart Bingham) haha.

It's a shame the match fixing hearing is bang in the middle of it- it's going to overshadow it :( it's weird without some of the big names that are embroiled in it too.

Aw, I can't decide who I actually want to win. I'm finding myself rooting for Selby because he was so far behind and is now slowly clawing it back. Amazing game!

I'm away at the moment but so glad I just found this thread!

I love snooker. I also really love Mark Selby so I'm made up for him.

It’s a big night for Leicester sport. I’ve got City v Everton on the big telly & the snooker on my iPad.

15/16! This is so tense. Selby makes it look so easy

Haha I've got the snooker 🎱 on the tv and football on the iPad ⚽️

Love a bit of snooker ever since watching it with my Grandma on her black and white TV. I think whoever wins this frame is going to win, it feels like it will be the turning point.

I’m imagining Lineker, wearing his Leicester City pants, sitting on the edge of his chair in front of two enormous TVs, yelling at the ref.

Heating up

Ooh Luca

Giving me brain ache just watching them. It's got to be Luca now surely?

One frame away...

Selby might have lulled him into false sense of security, tense

Squeaky bum time for Monsieur Brecel…

Well done Luca 👏👏👏 definitely deserved.

Well done Luca !!
Brilliant

Fantastic result, so well deserved

Oh bless him ! What a brilliant game that was

Yey Luca. His English is perfect. Lovely guy and seeing him with his dad was emotional

Brecel played very well and deserves his win. He never looked like missing in that last frame.

Both seem such lovely blokes. Well deserved victory

He seems so nice !
Well done , it was an epic battle

I do very much like Brecel but can't help feeling he should have kept his mouth shut about whatever he ws alluding to re Mark and Vicki Selby.

What did he mean about Vicky ?
Has she been ill ?

Love Mark Selby but happy to see Luca win as a first time winner. He seems lovely. Also now worried about Vicky - hope she's OK?

Why didn't I search for this thread before? Fabulous effort by Luca; Selby put him under enormous pressure, and he started missing those long posts he'd been banging in by a mile. But to hold it together and make those breaks in the last two frames, that was so special. So pleased for him, as said, he seems a lovely lad.
