UK Championship 2013/2014

I just cannot understand people who do not enjoy watching Mark Selby play snooker .... I mean it is so much better than one visit boring stuff and crappy centuries

[coomsey76]

As the WC he will be invited.

Ahhhh yes of course..... I stand corrected!!

[brusque]

what a blue ... come on Selby!!!!!!
Ronnie would have cued right across it in such a situation

I have to say I'm slowly starting to warm to him. He's got some really great qualities. His positional play can sometimes let him down but it doesn't normally matter because he's an amazing potter. He's great at break building and he never gives up.
The commentators and other snooker players say he's a really nice bloke too.

I don't know why more folks don't like him.

Yeah great blue it was! And we are slowly but surely going into a final frame decider!!! :snooker:

Btw thanks for typing in black...it is just so much easier to read than in red...and I do mean that sincerely...cheers.

Selby's going to win this and Hawkins is going to wonder how he gave the match away.

[Billy]

Well this next frame is certainly a chance for Hawkins to show his metal. Selby must have gone favourite now.

Hawkins has knocked the black onto the cushion. I feel this is going to be a long and scrappy frame.

I do hope so. I always enjoy watching Selby...he is so damn tough...never gives up...ever. Hawkins should have maybe won this already but failed to go 5-2 up...and Selby being Selby took that opportunity with all he has. This has been the most enjoyable match for me so far of the tournament. And it ain't over yet...final frame to go :snooker:

That's a nasty one that Selby did just dropping onto the black.

Yeah a typically smart one from Selby. Took Hawkins some 2-3 minutes to figure out what to do

[brusque]

this is on a knife's edge ..... loving it!!!!

[daffie]

For me...this is what snooker is all about...tight tense matches to the finish...I'm living for these type matches...fantastic to watch!!! :snooker:

[Valiullin]

He has been very impressive this season. A century machine.
I just think Selby has a lot more experience in finals and grinding out wins if he needs to. Although I'd prefer anyone else to win due to my own completely unjustified bias.

Well that is wrong. Robbo has played more ranking finals than Selby and won more titles (8 in total to Selby's 3). His winning rate in finals is also higher than Selby's (66% to 33%). Experience is his. Hopefully he could make the best of it against Selby in the final. More hopefully, Selby loses the decider against Hawkins and this is it.

I think Barry just over complicated his shots there. Trying to do too much. It's not over yet though.
