that's a shame to see white throw the frame away like that

I never heard Leo call a free ball, but i assumed he had perhaps whispered it to him and the camera had'nt picked the sound up or summat? Very strange indeed.

[Valiullin]

I only expect him to show a little bit of class at times just like anyone, anything wrong with it? Yeah I don't want him to win this tournament and I don't miond being called a hater just for that. I know a lot of people around here feel the same with Ding just because he's chinese and Maguire just because of his temper. Haven't seen them ever being called haters though.

I keep hearing about the standard now. Tell you what, all these guys from the 70s and 80s that constantly get decried might not have been smashing balls in and doing centuries but they could all play snooker. Which the whites and copes cannot.

[P.Smith]

So because he played a snooker it means he doesn't have any class?

referees are miked for tv matches and also Referees never whisper any call as a calls must be cloud enough to be heard by both players

I'd be careful if I were you...don't wanna get sucked into an argument with the Selby haters...it's no use, don't even try...total waste of your time&energy. These people do not understand anything about snooker.

Nope, because he does it a lot. Pot a red and lay a snooker. I'm perfectly aware it is not against the rules but hopefully some people agree it lacks in panache a little bit.

Hi folks, I was just watching the Selby match and the ref should of called a free ball, because it clearly was a free ball. Mark Selby was not in the wrong there the referee was.

Whoa there fella who doesn't want Ding to win because he's Chinese? That's a big statement.
