the bloke just lucky again with a red and now hiding like a rat

[richo]

In about ten hours play, he has made one frame winning break. His highest break this evening is 34. He didn't make a 50 break in the first eleven frames.

I accept that he is desperate to win, but snooker is completely dependent on a TV audience, and I find it impossible to believe that the average person in the street could possibly enjoy watching his excruciating style of play.

Agreed. It's all part of the game, and he is very good at what he does, so can see the tactical appeal, but every frame is the same. Try to make it 30 min at least with small breaks and lots of snookers, even drag it on after you have won the frame by playing a safety when your opponent needs 1-2 snookers rather than finish it off. In fairness, it is however up to O'Sullivan to break this, and he just can't.

[brusque]

hahahaha Selby is toying with RoS

[Valiullin]

Boring everyone to death has been Selby's tactics for years. Everybody seems to discover it tonight...

[alexiy]

What is anti-snooker lol? What Mark has done so wrong this session? Amazes me all the time, what the hell are you talking about

Man i can even see Ronnie throwing the cue away and shaking hands conceiding the match.This is just awfull, i can't believe how selby gets easily in his head,i know he hates him,but man you are a champion,you are supposed to fight that unbelievable lucky and irritating selby.I don't see him coming back too snooker if he loses which would be a shame really.

Well, he's just made 20 and run out of position again, I didn't see that coming...

[Evilbrain]

Let's play a game take a shot for everytime Selby run's out of position.

hiding like a rat again after 20 break. Funny

[wemba]

Snooker is not always about big breaks, yet I have the strangest feeling that Ronnie is about to knock in a 147.

[scottley]

Can Selby be the first man to win 15 frames in a final against Ronnie?

Made 10, run out of position...

The one thing I will say for him is that he hasn't missed in the balls much. He's run out of position about a hundred times, but he hasn't missed.

And he is getting his safety shots right. His standard there is just very high.

[alexiy]

Because hes focused on potting,hes affraid to play the cue ball too.what a pussy

[montoya10]

Extremely lucky shot for Ronnie this time. Well, luck is supposed to somehow even out, anyway.

He missed a frame ball pink couple of frames ago, no?

[missneworleans]

That is great match play indeed. Winning frames in one visit is only one way of winning frames. He plays solid tactical game. He is not playing his best, but he is not playing slowly or something. Safeties are the part of the game just like break-building. If Ronnie cant cope with that, it is his problem. And I think there are PLENTY of people enjoying this, probably everybody rest from Ronnie's fans
