Brecel is nervy.

walshb · 01-05-2023 9:10pm

Tv has been hijacked here..😖😖

Say Your Number · 01-05-2023 9:11pm

That was a mile wide.

Lionel Fusco · 01-05-2023 9:12pm

The difference between a man who has been in the trenches before and one who hasn't is starting to show.

Say Your Number · 01-05-2023 9:12pm

Yeah this game is definitely all over.

~Rebel~ · 01-05-2023 9:13pm

The ebb and flow of a world championship final is the most interesting thing - so much more about mentality than ability. Hopefully Luca can pull himself together.

DJIMI TRARORE · 01-05-2023 9:13pm

Calling it now,18-16 to Selby, Luca is gone, missing pots by 4/5 inches

Itssoeasy · 01-05-2023 9:14pm

Two in in it now.

This is it · 01-05-2023 9:15pm

Some fluke!

Rothko · 01-05-2023 9:17pm

It's why I love these longer matches and don't bother with best of 7's or 9's.

Akrasia · 01-05-2023 9:18pm

Huge frame here and it looks set up nicely for Selby

walshb · 01-05-2023 9:19pm

Jimmy White knows all too well how Luca is feeling

Sorolla · 01-05-2023 9:20pm

Snooker is a cruel sport.

selby taking Brecel apart and all Luca can do is sit passively and watch the destruction

i never believed Selby would come back now I believe he will win the Titel.

feel sad for the boy, Brecel.

sligeach · 01-05-2023 9:21pm

Like his 147. He only had one relatively difficult red, but he did have to make the shots in fairness. So you know...meh.

I don't agree with Hendry talking about weakness in this frame, regarding Luca. Selby has had a massive fluke to start this break and there hasn't been anything difficult so far.

lawrencesummers · 01-05-2023 9:21pm

Luca will get a chance again yet, maybe not in this frame and Its just very doubtfull if he will be able to take it

I fooking hate coldplay

hayrabit · 01-05-2023 9:24pm

Selby, i've noticed this week anyway, aint the best at going into the pack at pace off the blue

a bit unlucky where white finished , but Luca would've gotten far more action on it: his cueball almost pauses as the balls are scattering, before spinning away into safe territory

decentish safety there from Luca - Selby can't really afford to leave him in here

mon Luca

and every single Mayo person in the world.

Say Your Number · 01-05-2023 9:25pm

The last few finals have been a bit underwhelming, great to have a bit of drama tonight.

walshb · 01-05-2023 9:25pm

Brecel’s accuracy is dire

Akrasia · 01-05-2023 9:25pm

Ok. Luca needs to settle now

hayrabit · 01-05-2023 9:26pm

and I doubt the broad in the ad is an actual "juggernaut" (if that's correct word) driver neither - ad seriously annoying for many reasons ;(

Itssoeasy · 01-05-2023 9:27pm

Christ that ball was not even close.

Marty Bird · 01-05-2023 9:27pm

Miles off again.

sligeach · 01-05-2023 9:27pm

This is so weak from Luca. It's not like Selby is pulling off shots of the Championship here. He's been handed gimme's.

murtyd17 · 01-05-2023 9:27pm

All the momentum with selby

HeidiHeidi · 01-05-2023 9:28pm

Right, all the ironing is done - you can wrap it up now, Luca, there's a good lad 👍

hayrabit · 01-05-2023 9:28pm

joint favourites now - both @ 9/10

rolling boh · 01-05-2023 9:28pm

Luca looks a beaten man sitting in the chair huge ask now .

hayrabit · 01-05-2023 9:30pm

Mon Luca - you're STILL winning !!!!

one more purple patch @BB 😁

lawrencesummers · 01-05-2023 9:30pm

An hour since he potted a ball!

Arthur Daley · 01-05-2023 9:31pm

Not much Luca can do when Selby is in the balls.

He needs to just see a decent chance. Get hot again and it can swing around.

This is the man who got the biggest come back in history. And took 7 frames off Ronnie in a row the other day.

FarmerBrowne · 01-05-2023 9:32pm

Brecel is playing like me at this stage!

Sorolla · 01-05-2023 9:33pm

It is over an hour since Luca had potted a ball.

He’s a broken man

rolling boh · 01-05-2023 9:33pm

a must take chance

Cartman78 · 01-05-2023 9:33pm

Yikes...chance for Brecel!!

sligeach · 01-05-2023 9:33pm

OK. So we're just going to ignore this, are we? John Parrott: "And what you're witnessing here, you cannot teach".

I don't think you can teach anybody massive flukes John. Selby has had a relatively easy run as well as that massive fluke to start the break.

Snake Plisken · 01-05-2023 9:34pm

Can't watch this such a shame poor Luca

Arthur Daley · 01-05-2023 9:34pm

Here we are now

sligeach · 01-05-2023 9:35pm

Now Luca, you have your chance. He hasn't had one really in a while. It's a decent opportunity.

~Rebel~ · 01-05-2023 9:35pm

Luca could do with turning down a long pot or two, and playing it safer till he gets an easier chance. Just handing things to Selby now.

Say Your Number · 01-05-2023 9:35pm

Good chance for him here

~Rebel~ · 01-05-2023 9:36pm

C'mon Luca!

lawrencesummers · 01-05-2023 9:36pm

Its not over till its over!!!

HeidiHeidi · 01-05-2023 9:36pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120544333#Comment_120544333

It wasn't the fluke he was talking about.

But you know that.

walshb · 01-05-2023 9:39pm

Luca winning this frame?

hayrabit · 01-05-2023 9:39pm

definitely a "Classic" this - excitement-wise anyhow

be same story next year @ ~ QF Stage : "this comp aint been up to much so far,, poor tournament all told" 😃

rolling boh · 01-05-2023 9:40pm

needs another chance to win the frame at least he potted a few balls .

sligeach · 01-05-2023 9:41pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120544346#Comment_120544346

Ya, but John completely ignored the huge fluke that started the break. If he'll ignore that, I'll ignore what he meant.

hayrabit · 01-05-2023 9:41pm

Luca wants a colour safe here - nxt opportunity he gets. 17-15 beckons 🙂
