Was that the same table he got a 147 on after his comments?

 

I can see his point, it's the snooker equivalent of expecting Man City v Arsenal to be played on a Sunday league pitch

RIP Clive Everton, my generations Ted Lowe.

 

Passed away as players are completing for the Clive Everton trophy this week.

Can't be any player better to watch than Thepchaiya Un-Nooh when he's on form, a joy to watch.  Fair play to selby getting through though, he's the one to beat i reckon.

Selby into another decider, this time against Gilbert. 

 

I hope he doesn't make it a grind of a frame.

I think it would be better if there were more balls and the white one was 50% larger.

Your first time watching snooker? 

[The Bear]

Trump makes his 1000th century against Mark Allen. Who also had John Higgins make his 1000th when playing him recently too. 

 

1000 centurys is nuts. And that's just in tournaments never mind practice. I'm still stuck on 1....😂

Sorry? What gives you that idea ? If you had an idea to improve something it doesn’t mean you only watched that thing once. 
 

Picking arguments on the internet is your thing. It’s not mine. Enjoy you standard sized snooker balls of a consistent number.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I genuinely thought your comment was a joke. 

 

And if you look at pool, then the white is smaller and lighter, not bigger. I genuinely don't see how having a bigger, heavier white would ever make it better. I've tried that with pool balls hitting the white, and it's just weird and unpredictable.

Class is permanent 

[Collymore]

What an absolute nightmare Selby must be to play against. He can not be in form at all and still dig out wins from any situation which must put the opposition player under so much more pressure. 

 

When he's potting well he's simply unplayable. 

 

Best temperament of all time? 

 

 

[EastAnglianFox]

Really enjoying this, I’d say my 2 fave of all time going at it so it’s a win win…hope they put on a great final.

 

A 10-9 slug fest past 1am for us purists 😂

[kingfox]

One of the best sessions of a final that I’ve seen this afternoon.
 

Unreal standard from both so far, a scoring masterclass. 
 

🤞🏻it continues into tonight’s session.

[String fellow]

When Selby's in the zone, his standard of play is pure class. We should all be proud of him here in Leicester, whether or not he wins today.

[lcfcell]

Absolutely love watching Selby play when he’s like this 

[kingfox]

Great to see Selby back in the winner’s circle, got better as the week went on, his performance today, especially in the afternoon session was Selby at his best. 
 

Hopefully this is the springboard to him getting back to his consistent best 

[Lionator]

Fantastic to see the smile back on his face. 

[chrishlcfc]

Superb from Selby. Top performance, great to see him back at his best and enjoying the game again

[The Bear]

It was a brilliant performance from him today. Won both sessions 5-3 and 5-2 against one of the greats of snooker. He looked very composed and settled amongst the balls and made very few mistakes. 

 

Deserved winner. 

[LFEFox23]

Well done Selbz, played really well and a deserved win!

[purpleronnie]

Ben woollasten had another couple of good wins against higher ranking players at the Wuhan open.  Noticed the amateur mark joyce is through to the 4th round, pity Allen isn't there, might have been interesting.
