That’s what he said 

Read it again.
read it three times and it still clearly says “and he has been battling depression”.

Correct and the question was about Selby's wife and not about Mark himself.

It's common knowledge that Mark Selby has been battling mental health illness. 
LOL I know and he answered that by saying “she is” and then further added that he is battling depression. 

LOL Horsey doubling down.

The question was about Selby's wife not about Mark Selby because Mark Selby's struggles with mental illness is in the public domain but his wife's sickness is not. 


The initial question from Baggio originated from Brecel's tribute to Vikky Selby because he just heard she was ill and this not in the public domain.....Thumbs Up

He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Fair play to Brecel who is heading out to play in the Austrian open in Vienna tomorrow. 

I have actually played in this event myself a few years back ,It was in Salzburg but is now a fixture in Vienna and is usually on during or after the world championships,It's a low paying event that does attract some big enough names who are normally ex Top 16 players or lads who haven't qualified for the crucible and it gives them a chance to earn a few extra quid. Ken Doherty was over,Mark King etc.

Brecel had never been past the first round in Sheffield so I am guessing he wasn't expecting to go much further this year and had Vienna booked already - If he wins he will pick up peanuts compared to what he won last night but respect to him for not pulling out. It will do wonders for the tournament having the current world champ involved!

Brecel's speech was a bit odd.  He said ''I want to wish Mark and his family all the best because well maybe I shouldn't say it but I heard some news''.  Selby's face looked =like ''does he know somehting I dont know?'

I used to be half decent but nothing special ,Really you need to practising 6-8 hours a day.
Beat an Austrian and a German and lost to a Swiss lad but made it out of the group stage ,then lost to Hans Blankckeart in the second round on the final black.
Had great craic with Mark King that week,He lost to Matthew Couch in the Semi who went on to beat Patrick Einsle in the final - Einsle now commentates for German Eurosport's snooker coverage.

Einsle was only a kid then and was Germany's big hope as the sport was really growing there but he never really made it...

What's your highest break? I made a 42 once. That's my highest when i used to practice 2 or 3 times a week. Must get back to it again soon.

86 but that was a lifetime ago,Still have my cue but I probably wouldn't hit 16 now,Haven't played in years.

The head wreck with Snooker is that you can practise for 3-4 hours a day ,3 - 4 days a week for 3 months... Then you take a few weeks off and you are absolute sh*te!

But you don't play pool for 3 years and you can still clean up - I do mean the American pool tables though which are used in mainland Europe.

Ronnie still winning the majors, still winding his opponents up, even his b game is good enough,  if he could get himself motivated for the world's in April would be his first clean sweep of all big three in same season

Once he got it to 7-7 there was never going to be another winner. He put the pedal down from that point.

A class operator. The best to ever do it and I'll go as far to say that there has never been someone as talented in any sport than Ronnie is at snooker. Right handed or left handed he'll bat them all away. Clap
