    And that's probably the deciding moment in this match, it's not over yet, but I feel Ding needed to win the first frame to have any chance today and make Selby play it his way, the only way I can see this end is Selby grinding him down.

    Ding really should be winning this match but Selby doing what he does.

    Yes, I agree with you. Dings safety play wasn't as accurate today compared to last night. It will be a very grim and boring final without Ding

    Ding has had his chances for sure. Has let Selby off the hook too easily.

    Goes without saying this is a big frame for Ding.

    Selby's stroll around the table before each shot, like he hasn't made his mind up already, is a form of psychological warfare.

    That break of 41 was painful. He really needs to be told by the referee to speed up. Hope Ding can clear up now

    Shot clock should have been introduced years ago

    Amazing pot by Selby.

    I think you could nearly call time on this.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,226 ✭✭✭alan partridge aha


    Sensational pot on the yellow


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,276 ✭✭✭✭mdwexford


    I take back what I said the other day.

    Watching Selby vs Higgins will be puke.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,147 ✭✭✭Passenger


    He's done it again.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,022 ✭✭✭Peter File


    16:13 one frame away for the torturer


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,924 ✭✭✭wonderfullife


    Really hope Selby loses for all the shapes he's throwing to his friends in the crowd


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,022 ✭✭✭Peter File


    We are looking at the worst final since Ebdon v Dott. I might cut the grass tomorrow afternoon!

    Lad's on Eurosport saying they might have to come back after Hawkins Higgins, don't think they'll have to worry about that now.

    Vicky looks like Will's mother from the Inbetweeners.

    Ah will ya stop!

    Higgins and Selby have made 12 centuries between them in this tournament including a 143 and 139 from Mark and a 135, 129, 127 from John.

    How can you compare the World Number 1 v an all-time-great who has won 3 big events this season to Dotty and Ebdon? :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,276 ✭✭✭✭mdwexford


    Just go for everything now Ding.

    Rattle off 4 centuries in a row please.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,292 ✭✭✭GreNoLi


    Ding'll win.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,276 ✭✭✭✭mdwexford


    He's just not ending them in one visit like he was yesterday.

    How in the name of Jesus did that black stay out.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,276 ✭✭✭✭mdwexford

    Ding has really struggled to kill frames in one visit, the only chance he has is to kill the next two frames quickly and put Selby under a bit of pressure.

    Selby's hair is bound to crack under this pressure.
