We need a Carter V Sullivan  match!!! That would sell out the KP!!!

Yep, whether on the baize or in the ring

Imagine bumping into one in the Haymarket!!!

Ronnie O'Sullivan spotted in John Lewis buying handkerchiefs

Three centuries and a contribution of 78 from Mark Allen, not a bad afternoon’s work.

[Nalis]

Allen played very well, where was that performance last week?

If the format is the same as last year, then Friday night will be the Semi Final from the top half 👍🏻

How many frames are the semi finals. Trying to work out the format ?

Best of 11 I believe 👍🏻

[isaidno]

Semi's best of 11 frames.  Quarter's best of 9 frames.

[EastAnglianFox]

Let’s see how many times Selby scores 60 odd and somehow manages to still lose the frame.

 

If it winds his supporters up I imagine it must drive him crazy

[RowlattsFox]

That's exactly why so many of Selby matches turn into a grind. Gets a non frame winning break and breaks down either through missing or position.  Letting him down in recent years.

It’s bizarre now, the man used to be ruthless or “the hoover” as he was known for being able to clear up in no time.

 

Now you just know once it gets to the business end of the frame he’s going to give you a chance somewhere

They say that's the sort of thing that goes when you past the peak so maybe he's just on a natural downward spiral. Higgins is similar when ive watched him recently, although he is a little.bit older. 

 

If anyone thought Selby was tough watch at his best, imagine what he'll be like if he loses some of his ability and plays on when lower in the rankings 

[HarryDee8]

Selbos through! Even though he isn't playing his best 

 

[RowlattsFox]

Good win for Selby in the end. Perhaps should've won 4-0. Only the frame where Carter got in first. He's going to have to bring a more ruthless edge against Trump next though.

I went to the afternoon session on Tuesday and funnily enough bumped into David Nugent in the Highcross

[kingfox]

When on it Vafaei is great to watch, but hard to warm to him, his behaviour is so bizarre at times.

[goody2028]

Strange final frame that

He didn't shake Williams' hand after the game and stomped out.

Got roundly booed by the crowd.

 

Judd Ttump and Mark William's  are very tall blokes by the way!

Yep, just because Williams slapped his leg.

 

Pettiness of the highest level.

Oh did he- i didn't notice that.

 

he did look a tw&t though when he though he won a frame but then realised he needed the pink!!

[isaidno]

O'Sullivan through.  1 win away from getting to see him play on Saturday. 

[EastAnglianFox]

Id take some time away if I was Selby, something doesn’t seem right with him again.

 

Some absolutely criminal misses again tonight, looks like such hard work for him at the minute

[kingfox]

Selby actually started the season well, such a mixed bag though since the English Open where he lost in R64. 
 

His loss to Allen at the Masters looked concerning, so many uncharacteristic misses and poor positional play, same again tonight. 
 

Not the only top 16 player to be struggling recently though. 

[Aus Fox]

Anyone fancy potting the mysterious golden ball for a bonus 20 points - in a frame you’ve already won easily.

Not sure why we need to keep changing sport$, but this is almost the most ridiculous rule change I’ve ever heard.https://www.bbc.com/sport/snooker/68027678
