Selby. He is usually very strong towards the end of best-of-11s, with a bunch of 6-5 wins I can remember. He also has that win against Bingham from 5-1 down at the Masters, so that's bound to put Bingham under additional pressure here. :wink:

Just having a look at Cue Tracker . . . great site for stats!

But it seems to be missing a few players from this tournament.

http://www.cuetracker.net/pages/tournaments.php?ID=980

It says there are only 12 players.

No ROS in sight

yep it is a great site but not the most instant for results.
either

Thanks! Yeah, I often watch the live scores on the World Snooker site.

I notice the loser of the semi wins £20,000, however the loser of the final gets £50,000. So £30,000 extra minimum for winning the semi final. That would buy a few cues.



Winner of the final gets £100,000

Yes!!! Well played Stuart, solid performance

This is why people will never take to Selby. Playing on requiring 5 snookers is just purely unacceptable in my eyes.

I tend to agree, but would you give it a go if you could win £30,000 pounds extra?

Now that's six snookers. Is it just fighting spirit or utter lack of class? I'll stick with the latter...

At amatuer level I can understand it, at pro level no chance. Doesn't matter how much is at stake its unsportsmanlike because you just don't get that amount of snookers at this level. Its showing a complete lack of respect for your opponent and that is why I don't like him. He can't accept defeat, he's a sorry loser.

He has to accept it now

Losers concede, winners fight on. :wink:

Anyway, well played Bingham. He surprised most people by winning the Premier League this time last year, and 12 months later he needs one more win to take this title. Won't be easy though, whomever he faces. :smile:

Right because an amatuer has more chance of getting snookers than Selby.
Haters are gonna hate , end of story.

Back to the topic, well played Bingham, poor performance by Selby.

... and eventually lose

Gracious players accept defeat, bad losers carry on because they can't accept defeat.
