Mark Selby all the way!

That was such an intense experience.
Highs. Lows. The stress!
From row 2. So close.

Seeing Selby go from an absolute master in the first 5, to, something else. And those easy misses. Felt like they literally hurt me. Almost too much. But definitely not.

I'm ecstatic with joy that this could crown my already amazing York trip.

Wow.

Just. Wow.

I'm exhausted.

Good night all.

❤️ snooker

@TSnooker102 Sweden was never gonna beat Switzerland.
Well deserved win for the Swiss.

Good to see Finland and Norway through though 👏

@InTheBalls147 In the twilight of his career, he's really growing on me. I was a Federer fan back then myself. But now, can't help but be impressed by Nole 👏

[Lars Johansson @AtlinSnooker]

@TSnooker102 Swedtzerland!

[Lars Johansson @AtlinSnooker]

@RobJF24 Indeed it is so. Work in progress!

My head explodes from the interactions i see on here.

[Lars Johansson @AtlinSnooker]

Not that anyone asked for my opinion... BUT...

This place I tell ya... Twitter that is... Positively overflowing with ignorance and idiocy!

I spend half my time on here muting people in an effort to get away from it/them!!

The sole reason I'm still on this platform, is for snooker conversations! The rest is garbage!

@esel_freund Thanks to you and all of the small dedicated team that look after all ours favourite snooker site! 🙏

We would all be lost without it.

[Lars Johansson @AtlinSnooker]

Bummer result that 😢

I think there should be some kind of age separation in Q-school.

Different streams to reach the goal of tour status... One stream for young players, and a separate one for say 40+ aged players.

I just can't see how it is any good for the sport that players like McLeod and Pinches eliminating players half or third of their age.

[Lars Johansson @AtlinSnooker]

@snookerhub No. Never! It would kill the sport as we know it.

[Lars Johansson @AtlinSnooker]

@Nick_Metcalfe Hear! Hear!

There's always the option to stop baying your bills... 🤔

[Lars Johansson @AtlinSnooker]

Hi Michelle. I do not know you as we have never communicated before... But this post really pulled at my heartstrings, and I felt inclined to reach out...

First thing I would like to say is... You are NOT the voices inside your head. Simple as that. Do not listen to them.

I have no idea about your struggles, so I cannot speak to that, but based on the response below plenty of people want to see you feel better. I hope you have good people around you and can get the support you need.

We ALL deserve to feel better in life, and I hope you can get to a spot where you can turn off those pesky voices inside your head!
It's not always easy, but life is worth living. And think about all the people around you that love you 💖

[Lars Johansson @AtlinSnooker]

@thesnookerhall @fouldsy147 Imma give it listen pronto! 👍

Such a fun WC to look back at. I'm curious to hear what Foldsy have to say about it.

[Lars Johansson @AtlinSnooker]

@OrihuelaCosta77 @kellietext I would positively love to do that!

Though, not possible unless we build a new house... No room currently!
Although, I suppose I can remove the bedroom and make it a snooker room... Hmmm 🤔

I'll have to run this by the Mrs😘

[Lars Johansson @AtlinSnooker]

@philhaigh_ @kellietext Cheer, Phil!

Yeah, for someone that would LOVE to play snooker at least weekly, or monthly, even yearly would be OK... It is not optimal is it!? My fault for moving here I guess! 🤪

The trials and tribulations of northern Canada living 🤷‍♂️

[Lars Johansson @AtlinSnooker]

@Elven_Reef Yup agreed. Over 50.

And no top 32 active players. Maybe even not top 64. Imo.

[Lars Johansson @AtlinSnooker]

Imagine a senior's championship with the following 8 in the lineup.

Ronnie O'Sullivan.
John Higgins.
Mark Williams.
Neil Robertson.
Mark Selby.
Shaun Murphy.
Mark Allen.
Barry Hawkins.

I'd watch that.

Honorable mentions:
Thepchaiya Un-Nooh.
Stuart Bingham.
Ali Carter.
Gary Wilson.
Stephen Maguire.
Dave Gilbert.

All 40 or over, and top 32.

[Lars Johansson @AtlinSnooker]

@alexdean2333 Agreed 👍

[Lars Johansson @AtlinSnooker]

@Jsmudgey I know, right!?

[Lars Johansson @AtlinSnooker]

@esel_freund No point really.

Simply stating what coud be the case if they chose to play in the Senior's Champ.

I do think the rules should change, so they cannot.

[Lars Johansson @AtlinSnooker]

@zimena I 100% agree with that.

50 years should be the age limit, and no active pros in the top 32 would be reasonable. I think.
