Ah Jaysus. Nothing is going right for Higgins.

I think its the commentators total bias towards Higgins is putting me more firmly in Selby's camp

He is not the only one. I mean take Robertson in his match against Ding he was celebrating before the frame was over and every shot after that

Oh I know, and I'm willing to acknowledge my dislike of Selby might be totally irrational, I just can't get past it. (I don't like Robertson either FWIW :P ). Selby is a cracking player, and has shown real character to come back in this final, it's just part of me would love to see Higgins resurge and batter him.

Come on Ding!

I would love to higgins to win myself but the total bias cheer-leading by the commentators want Shelby to win t

Finally Higgins gets some luck today. He needs this badly or it is over.

They want the final to keep going.

John Virgo is being totally ott in being partisan to Higgins right now!

Ya I think they just don't want to see a complete collapse from any player.

would be a shocker for Selby to take this frame though.

I think he's a great player, I just can't put my finger on why he irritates me. I think I've just got it into my head that he's a bit of a gowl, and everything he does reinforces that perception, whether warranted or not. I mean, take his reaction beating Ding in the semi, t'was perfectly reasonable realistically, but it just feeds into the image I have of him.

He does have the head of a villain on him especially with his current hair. The looking up at the balcony has died down a bit today, maybe the Hendry and Davis criticism yesterday got to him.

Still an unbelievable player to watch with the intensity he plays at and the capability he has of pulling off really special shots.

The match needs Higgins to win this frame

No they have been firmly behind higgins from the go. I am sure they may want it to go as long as possible but last night they were in rapture that Higgins may win it with a session to spare.

there are ways to want to say you would like it to continue how they are doing it is not 1

This is very difficult to watch at the moment, Higgins still can't get going at all

Maybe because he is winning and go confidence I do not think its because what 2 people said. I think people are taking 2 much or that unless Hendry and Davis had not mentioned it no one here would have noticed it

Well done Higgins, needed that. Has let Mark back in already though

Selby red wasn't really on last frame. Pushed the boat out there

He normally does it when winning too though usually with a grin before or after playing a great shot, it is noticeable today how little he is doing it.

My ma doesn't like his eyes, good a reason as any.

And that's fair enough really. It's the biggest match of the snooker year and one player collapsing isn't nice to see.

Higgins really needs to win the next frame to stay in touch

Say Your Number

Such an anti-climax.

I love when the BBC commentators make the crowd laugh.

There's always a chance Selby will tighten up a bit and make a few mistakes when he gets closer to finish line. But Higgins needs to play a bit better

KERSPLAT!

That'll hurt. Snuck in behind the green.
