    Selby would've played a safety that's the difference.

    100% but that's been the fun of Murphy in this tournament. He's went for everything, crazy or no..

    Not normally a big snooker fan but enjoyed that tonight. Don’t know much about Murphy but he spoke well at the end there.
    Why do people not like him?

    Selby a bit of a bore type..

    The whole tournament has been brilliant in my opinion..

    Selby is ruthless, makes Cliff Thorburn look like Alex Higgins lol, really enjoyed the Championship this year, great to have the crowds back.

    Murphy had a great tournament, great potter but Selby was tactically better.

    For me it was the Maguire incident from years ago when he got him docked a frame for going back and getting his chalk he forgot.

    He’s also very vocal in the media against the majority of players on prize money and toilet breaks during games and * like that. Just seems a bit of an * tbh.

    That's actually not true, it's just what Maguire thought happened. Maguire went backstage and the tournament director seen that he wasn't ready to start the frame and so docked him the frame. Murphy didn't ask the referee to dock him a frame , he just asked him where Maguire went

    Says Murphy. Obviously a misunderstanding on Maguire's part.

    17 years after it happened in an attempt to save face.

    Maguire knows what happened, that’s why he’s still bitter about it.

    I think if there was any truth in Maguire's claim, he would have came out and rubbished what Murphy said. He didn't. Maguire was basing it off the TV cameras showing Murphy and the referee talking.

    Murphy quoted who the tournament director was and that it was he who made the decision. If he wasn't telling the truth, the tournament director would obviously have corrected what Murphy said. He didn't.

    Either that or he can let sleeping dogs lie. He hates him, that says enough for me.
