Mark Selby's luck is something never seen in any sport ever.

Game over now that's for sure

The games up...

Whatever about Ronnie, I could see Seby putting Hendry's 7 world titles under pressure.

Sandor Clegane

Must be magnets in the pockets, how the hell did that drop.

Murphy has had a lot of those infuriating misses this match.

Mervyn Skidmore

Pockets are way too generous.

I wonder if Shaun read my Tweet. He had a good break-off.

Selby getting every stroke of luck possible, quite uncanny.

Story of his snooker career. Looks like it might even cost him a comeback here. So disappointing.

Bingham was fluking pots all over the place in the semi final, it evens out.

sligeach

Yet more good luck for Selby. Great pot sure, but jammy cannon.

How many times has he played 3 or 4 great shots and then slipped up on a gimme at this level...

Ah Shaun, you can't be doing that.

It is typical of Murphy He has been like that for years getting the flashy shots and missing the easier one. And you wonder what caused it.

Say Your Number

In for an early finish I'm afraid.

Great players always seems to get the luck, Davis, Hendry, RoS.

No, the jammy Selby good luck bus keeps on rolling.

Wait, it's just had a puncture.

Oh dear another unforced error.

FR01

That’s very poor from Murphy

sligeach

Well said referee!

Seems he's got the run-flat's on though :-/

Good man ref, telling them to shut up.

But the magical crucible audience!

FR01

Redeemed himself with that red

Arthur Daley

Shaun just hasn't played well enough throughout this match. Selby has had a run of the balls.

Shaun really has few feathers on his shots. Very quick cue action. Much quicker than Ronnie for instance.

Great break here mind. Keeps digging himself out

rolling boh

cracking last break there

raclle

Making hard work of this compared to Selby

sligeach

Well done Shaun. Lovely shots in that break.

gormdubhgorm

Great clearance from Murphy 15-12 - blessed to get that second chance though.

Has to cut out the silly shots.

~Rebel~

Phew! He desperately needed that!

raclle

Needs to win the next two I feel

alan partridge aha

Well done Murphy, get your game together. Selby playing ok but is beatable but Murphy has to eliminate stupid mistakes.

xabi_a

I was always a Jimmy White and Judd Trump fan, just because of their potting power. But I'm slowly realising Murphy is pretty much in the same category. His potting is just incredible.

But yes he does have to cut out the silly misses.

rolling boh

still a tall order to win though

AllForIt

That was simply brillient by Murphy. Whatever happens I'm glad to see him going for it.

Murphy would be winning this game if he did not throw away those early few frames at the start of the match.

To say Selby had the run of balls is unfair. Murphy threw him a few handy frames.

here we go again

sligeach

Of course Selby's on the red. :rolleyes:

eric hoone

Butchered that safety

He would be up there with those two lads if had more belief, fight, and concentration. Thankfully has shown some of that in this tournament from nowhere really.
I would argue Murphy's technique is better than a White/Trump.

147 could be on here

alan partridge aha

The old saying you make your own luck and its magnified when your opponent is playing some very loose shots.

haypennydenver

Murphy potting all the conceivable hard shots then screwing up on the simple ones

volono

Ken waffling on about how rattled Selby might be. God, he's up 3 frames, he's not nervous at all imo. He knows he's going to get chances and if needs be he'll go into the trenches to get over the line. Can't see anything but a Selby win and I really really don't want to see him to it!!!

Tren.

You'd fit a Double Decker bus in the pockets lol

volono

They keep saying they're not but yes I'd definitely agree, the knuckles are way more forgiving than they where a decade or so ago
