World Snooker Championship 2021

AllForIt

I'm delighted Murphy has made this little surge even if it is a little too late.

Beautiful stuff from Shauny. Big ask from here still, but he's in with a shout at least.

He'll be gutted he hadn't stolen just one of those earlier frames that he had a stranglehold on, could so easily have been 16-16 now!

Fine margins at this level.

Muppet Man

Not a fan of either, but I am absolutely glued to this. Seriously impressed with Murphy....

Great stuff from Murphy, what ever happens now this should give a great springboard for him to get back to the top table.

Was hoping for a little fist pump again there. Mighty stuff from Murphy.

Are we doing what the Brits usually do and claiming him as Irish yeah?

Selby's feeling it

Just needs to be careful on his break offs and punish Selby when he makes a mistake, was rooting for Selby but hope Murphy forces a decider

A poor break off , lucky not punished:mad:

And agaaaain, that red.... got away with it though.

After you saying it Murphy broke off and left the red again...
Missed but still Selby got a handy 'in' after all is said and done.

Sure why not - he's a lot more Irish than the folks the Brits usually try to steal are British! :pac:

Murphy undoes his good work again and again

You do know that he has won frames, including one in the world championship against Hendry from that exact position??

Knew some stat be carted out, I'm sure somewhere someone's won needing 10. That's not the point ,it's the reason why he chooses to do it is........only to frustrate,annoy and wear the opponent down, that's my point.
Rack 'em ref is what he should be saying, win on merit or not at all. It's pure negative, it sickens me seeing it tbf

Marvelous frame for Selby to get to 17.

Summed up Selby's game:

1) Win the tactical battle.
2) Patience.
3) When given the chance took in a manner that was 'no risk' if he missed it.
4) Knocked in a century

If people don't understand what 'matchplay' is there is your ultimate example.

Sounds like Alex Higgins' nightmare

Game over now

100% !



I think although Selby's wife Vicki player pool for Ireland, she was born in Ipswich.

Murphy is an honorary Dub as far as I am concerned.

Bill was a tragic case really.

He could knock in big breaks, regularly did so at the Crucible.

Met an early end in 2003.

This news piece is very sad really, he knew the direction he was heading in by the time of his ban in the late 80s

Surely TUE would have covered for him?

Cmon Murphy

CMON MURPHY TO FCUK

sligeach

I was sure that was in.

BorneTobyWilde

Has to win this frame from here, no excuse.

gormdubhgorm

This is a decent chance for Murphy, should get back level in the frame - worst case scenario.

Say Your Number

This has gone from boring to compelling very quickly.

Me nerves

Savage pot

Should score enough here to win the frame. I always worry about his positional play though
