    That blue reminds me of the SI blue. In the semi.

    As Dave Hendon remembers too.

    It would have been easier for Luca to try and go up and down off the bottom cushion with the cue ball to try and knock the pink in that was sitting over the pocket than taking on that blue.

    Whatever you do, don't hit the blue

    And now Ken has demonstrated it on the practice table after the frame was over. I think Luca should have gone for it instead.

    Missing that black could be fatal for Selby

    @gormdubhgorm

    me equivalent re "Snooker's Coldplay" - and it's going on personality/demeanour as much, or more even, than actual playing style: not given it a lotta thought, but Kyren Wilson would have to be in top three anyhow 😃

    that little shuffle he does when getting himself set, as well as the nowadays obligatory (seems like it anyhow - lotta players at it) cue rubbing; plus his almost defeatist sounding voice, makes him a reasonable shout to get the call - "Coldplay Comparatively" wise 😛

    I thought that would wobble in the jaws and drop for Selby. But no, it didn't deserve to either as it was wide. But Luca hasn't made the most of his subsequent chance either.

    nothing like the latter stages of a snooker final to see who can stumble over the line often playing terribly!

    What are you talking about Shaun? That wasn't an advisable attempt from Luca, and it was a direct contradiction to the advice he was giving last night about Luca pushing the boat out.

    couldn't have made a worse call than that one, tbf 🙂

    nothing from him at all - if anything, he still looks like he knows he's beaten

    See, and now they're talking about that miss from Luca in the BBC studio. And maybe he's pushing it too far with some attempts. It wasn't necessary, he brought that Selby break on himself.

    Is Selby the equivalent of Arnold Schwarzenegger in that Predator film. Or is he Selby the Predator?

    I can't make my mind up.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.
