Here is a prime example of what I was saying yesterday. Selby gets unwarranted grief from some quarters and I don't understand why. He's a superb player. Tactical genius and a great ambassador for the sport. If you can't find tactical frames and snooker setting exciting you need to watch another sport. This fortnight has been enthralling

He reminds me of Steve Davis when he was winning everything in the Eighties. His style is just like him, Great safety and good amongst the balls. The complete all round player

And he thinks we're blind as he tells us when the ref's warned a punter about their phone, as if we can't just see and hear what happened. It's the Roy Walker school of commentary - "Say what you see".
Taylor's deliberately commentating to the Crucible crowd now - Anything to get a laugh.

It is turgid, uninspiring and turns off fans and sponsors. It isn't going to encourage youngsters to take up the game watching 70 minute frames of snookers. People like Selby kill the sport stone dead.

What utter rubbish and a stack of points you cannot substantiate. Show me proof fans and sponsors have been turned off by him and I'll change my mind. He's a credit to the game.
