    little tussle at the end of the first frame but still should be Ronnies. Selby needing 2 snookers with one remaining red. no chance


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 852 ✭✭✭blackgold>>


    Ya I notice ronnie seems a bit odd today. Or is it just me?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,798 ✭✭✭syngindub


    well it depends what side of the bed he got out today i suppose. He did ask the ref before the match started how many frames there was which was funny. he didn't acknowledge the crowd much either with his entrance.

    Selby takes the third frame to make it 2-1 to O'Sullivan. Selby's GF Vicky isn't bad either :)

    Looks like Selby is starting to get the run of the balls and playing really well. Selby looking like going 7-5 ahead. Great commentary also from Willie and Steve i have to say

    Hey lads. Any update on the score?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,798 ✭✭✭syngindub


    7-6 in favour of Selby.
    Selby favourite for the 14th Frame


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,096 ✭✭✭✭the groutch


    never understood why they start the sessions at 2pm & 8pm for the finals, this one could easily be on til 1am

    You should be able to get it online, none the less Selby 7-6 up, and 61-23 up in the 14th frame which is a bit cat and mouse at the moment.

    One thing that is annoying me watching this is the way that average shots by Ronnie are applauded by the audience compare to better shots by Mark which barely get a clap. I suppose as the bad boy of snooker Ronnie would have more followers but Mark is playing some very good snooker tonight and deserves a little more respect.

    Hopefully this goes the distance.

    If only Ronnie played a bit quicker, he's slowing up. :D

    All joking aside there isn't much alternative as you want to get the prime time for TV coverage along with giving the players a good break between the first eight frames and the remainder.

    Yeah eventually found it on channelsurfing.net. I must say I've been very impressed by Mark Selby this week. Once I saw the game against Mark Allen I knew he'd make it to the final.

    This is a great way to pass a Sunday night in work.
