    Nice move though taking them to court, PR etc.

    No mention of refunds or compo from himself was there?

    Hearn has to put some sort of deterrence there in fairness. Because all sorts of loo la's will get similar ideas otherwise. And the way snooker is it is not as if you could have a load of security in the venue - just in case.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Something not quite right if they haven't been simply refunded in the meantime

    9-7 now. Bit of a clash of styles and possibly personalities in this match. I don’t think Selby is too pleased with Selt’s vocal and slightly provocative manner around the table. Selby will win this match but I think Selt has him rattled a little bit.

    Selby never seem to like anything that throws a snooker match from the norm, always seems like he can be 'got at' if the opponent is brave enough to stick in the game.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Yeah the “Jester” not doing too much jesting these days as was pointed out in commentary.


    A phone goes off on Selt’s backswing and now the ref warns him any more choice language and he loses the frame, getting tense I’m enjoying this.

    Imagine if Selt lost the match v Selby for cursing.... he is not allowed to curse for the remainder of this match now.

    Ah lads, unbelievable fluke, surely the most unusual of all time? I’d say Selt would love to unleash a few choice words after that!

    Selt could turn the air em 'blue'.

    A fluke like that never happened poor auld Wille Thorne, when he missed that famous easy blue years ago.

    Just saw the end of the last frame and that blue was a laugh. They said that Robert Milkens beat joe Perry which I was shocked by. Did milkens play really well or did joe Perry **** the togs ?

    Some break from Selby in what looks like the last frame v Selt. To have pink and black tied up. Having to work like that to keep going under pressure seriously impressive stuff. Hope Selt manages to get to the second round for the first time - next year.

    Yeah I think Selt went too far in the end and ended up rattling himself, shame cos he had Selby on the ropes there.


    119 total clearance (or did the cue ball drop in off the final black), fair play to Selby, looking pretty relaxed there in the end, after being under a lot of pressure.

    Si has great manner of playing the game. Plus it would be great if he did manage to give the World Championship a right rattle. Given the alleged stupidity of some of his compatriots.
