World Snooker Championship 2016

Ding needed that century. Think his confidence is coming back now. Won 4 of the last 5 frames. Game on!

If he could win the next one its game on

Should be 3 players per game not 2
3 would be better

Well if you had 4 players you could call it doubles.

That would be a mess...

I really hate Selby's style of play, he really knows how to slow it done especially on shot time, I can see how it frustrates other players! Come on Ding!

Arseholes with their phones again....

Let's go Ding. This is a real final now.

Exactly he's like a modern Cliff Thornburn well may be not. But he does slow the game down.

Say Your Number

Ding has woken up!

Amazing break.

I can't stand Selby either, he's just the new Ebdon. All his constant time wasting, face pulling and negative play is patethic. Watching paint dry would be more fun than watching Selby. I really hope Ding beats him.

Ebdon was a rare breed alright Selby is very much in his mold.

Jesus do you remember the Ebdon/Dott 2006 final that has to be the most boring final I've ever watched! Really hope Ding comes back and beats the note that is Selby! If say Barry Hearne would love Ding to win for the growth of the sport in China!

Don't you mean for the 'growth of his bank balance'?

Maybe someone in the audience is telling them what shot to play! It's like millionaire all over again.

Dennis Taylor is a SpecSavers AD waiting to happen.

Am I missing for the BBC again? :pac:

Throw them out FFS :mad:

How many phones have gone off now ? Clearly for some people their phone calls are more important than the world championship final. What utter *expletive deleted* they are

Lavinia

I think this is the championship with the most phone "incidents" ever, I cannot remember this happening this frequently ever before... I'd really throw them out and ban them from snooker events forever
Whatta j**ks :mad:

On Eurosport they had an anecdote about a phone going off during a game and the referee told them to answer it and say that they were on their way home!

Albert_Camus

Not a fan of Selbys style, so really want Ding to do it.

Have really enjoyed this year's tournament tho.

skipper_G

That was a cracking opening red from Ding! Would be brilliant if he wins this frame in 1 visit.

Edit: he missed just as I hit post, whoops

BorneTobyWilde

Is it even requested of people not to bring a phone, is there even a
NO PHONES ALLOWED sign.

You would think a simple sign would solve it.

CarFan100

The pockets seem very big
No doubt barry hearn is behind this nonsense
Appealing to the masses!

Think they ask to put them on silent. I don't remember too much harping on about it. Was over last week for a few matches. Pretty easy going place.

Common sense is not very common!

You wouldn't want to do that.Far better of for the players being barely able to make a living from the game playing in front of nobody.

Lavinia

Wow this was terrific! : )

Ted_YNWA

Some comeback by Ding here, nearly the favourite now with this momentum

skipper_G

Who's the 1 dope clapping every shot Selby takes?

recylingbin

Really thought Selby was going to hammer him after the first session. Delighted ding has sorted himself out and that we actually have a match now.
Can't see there being more than 1 frame in it by close of play tonight

I've been at it the last 2 year's and the announcer makes a big deal about asking people to switch their phones off multiple times before the players are announced. I've still seen people texting during play in every session I was at though. Some people are just pig ignorant.

Selby really is relentless, if he wins this frame it will be some blow for Ding.

CarFan100

Nightmare frame for ding here

callaway92

God damn this is a long frame.

Still another two to go after this tonight.

Say Your Number

If Ding potted that red this frame would have been over half an hour ago, Selby has killed any momentum he had, even if he loses it.

Yes and all due to Slowby. He is a horrendous player to watch

KERSPLAT!

I love watching Selby play. Fantastic tactical battle at the moment, big blow for Ding should he lose.

CarFan100

Selby looks exhausted
Surely he will fade tomorrow

People reacting to Dennis calling the ref old ..
Can they hear him..
