Come on Robertson, you're a proper top player, you're too good to let this guy grind you down. At 5-3 it's all to play for.

Yeah. He does seem to have have more jam then Sainsbury. But he often plays an opening red in such a manner that if he doesn't get the pot he still leaves it safe or awkward for his opponent. He's a very clever player.

First frame of the evening session underway and it's back&forth between Mark and Neil. Looks like Mark is coming out on top in this one. Neil still not completely there yet...still seems a bit hesitant/unsure...not confident yet.

Btw did we spot 'Mr Sheffield' in the audience...he found his way to York apparently, and wearing the same blue&white striped (Sheffield U) shirt as always

I'd like to think this will go to a decider but I think Selby will win this comfortably. Robertson is just not taking his chances and making too many mistakes.

Come on Robertson.

Totally off-topic, but did anyone see that close-up just then, of one of the crowd members using their mobile phone? The camera was zoomed right in on the screen and everything on there could be read clearly. That must have been breaking some form of privacy law??

Come on Robertson.

I thought so as well, however in this 2nd frame it feels like the vibe is shifting over from Mark to Neil...just a feeling I'm getting. Neil looks more confident and gets the bit of luck he needs as well now...interesting to see what will happen.

[brusque]

turning point it seems ... first Robbo messed up, then got away with it kind of but Selby should have potted that red ... now how much damage will this missed red cause damage in the context of the match ... I am not sure but does not look good

No. Didn't spot that Billy but I am taping it so will look out for it when I watch this again. I take it you're watching this in HD then

I think the fact the Robbo isn't killing off frames in one visit is still worrying.

A big thank you to Eurosport for not showing a minute of the final live. :wink:

I was going to enjoy it on the TV, but now I'm stuck with streaming again.

Indeed..... If it comes down to scraping frames out Selby will have the upper hand in that battle for sure!!

[cyberheater]

I can't believe the simple red Selby missed. Wow. And Robbo's back in.
It could start to get interesting if he can pull it back 5-6.

[billabong]

I can't believe the guy behind Robertson's mum seems to have his t shirt on inside out
( or Jack Daniels is supposed to be written backwards on it ).

Get in Robertson. Show this grinder what a real champion is.

Yes. You're right. Neil is definitely looking the better of the two right now. What a fascinating final this is.
