    I suppose you could argue Selby shouldn't be so greedy with those roll ups.

    A chance for Selby here, a tough one, but a chance nonetheless

    Higgins made a comeback. I'm tuning in now after game.
    I was full sure it would be over.

    Selby starting to look up at his mates again. He wasn't doing that when he was blazing it.

    Back to this tripe. He's looking up to the box and to his family all day, same as every other day.

    I'm sure that he wishes that he put a bit more concentration into that shot now.

    So Higgins needs all 3 now

    It looked early on like this would be over by 9.30. And you'd be watching coast now.

    That roll up looks bad for Mark I think. Any player will know whether they make contact or not. The ref was sure it didn't hit.

    Called himself for a push yesterday I think. If he thinks it did then why not say it. Even with all the cameras and replays we still can't tell!

    He made a similar mistake yesterday, rolling up behind a green iirc.

    Can't see it panning out that way. Selby's just been playing too well all day to not win another frame.

    Fair play to Higgins for making a match of it, but you have to say, it looks like he's thrown away what might very well be his last chance to win the title.

    As well as Higgins has played in the last few frames, I can't see him winning the next 3 frames unfortunately

    Selby won't crack. His now, barring a lot of good luck and play from Higgins.

    Is that show on at any other time of the year?!

    Yeah but that wasn't so crucial was it ? It did look a bit desperate from Selby to question the call.

    Higgins 7-1
    Needs 3 to win, so possible.

    They're all crucial I suppose, I'd take his word for it

    Edit. Take his word that he thought it touched, not that it did. If the ref didn't see it then that's the call

    Looking for a miss when he hit it, Selby looking for a get out.

    More controversy!

    Pretty poor from Higgins to foul the green in that way

    Think the ref was right to not call a miss though as the object ball was hit

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.
