Come on Selby.

Come on Selby.

Yes come on indeed...finish Ali of will ya. I've had enough of his constant moaning...jeez this guy really gets on my nerves...annoying little *bleep*

[nicklowry12]

Selby certainly seems to be in fine form but so far he's just having trouble finishing them off for whatever reason, in both matches so far.

I was just thinking the same. I used to quite like Carter and not like Selby. Now I feel the opposite. Ali does moan a lot about his own bad rubs and his opponents lucky snookers but he never acknowledges when it goes the other way.
I do like his fighting qualities though. He's come a long way in recent years because of that.

Yes I also agree with the last bit...he hasn't had it easy and battled very hard to get where he is. Strange thing is, I would think someone like that probably would see things more positive...I mean how did he come this far by being so negative all the time. It just doesn't compute for me. Probably why I get so overly annoyed with Ali at times. We know how good a player he is. If he could get himself to stay positive, he could do some major damage! Shame really.

LOL. Than what are you talking about. It's the best performance during a whole tournament from a snooker player for years. He was playing pretty close to perfect snooker in sessions.

He played well but I still feel he wasn't at his peak. it doesn't really matter if he plays well enough.

Now c'mon Selby wrap this up!

That's it...finally! Good job Mark!

[cyberheater]

Well done Selby.

He's got a real chance now to win this tournament.

[Dr_Doctor]

Exciting line up tomorrow. If Wasley can play like he did against Ding in the last 2 frames, he could steamroll Dominic.

Does he still have the energy to do so? He was playing quite comfortably so maybe he'll be okay.

[scottley]

Get in there Selby, there's an open top bus some time in May here in Leicester for the Leicester City FC lads with the Championship trophy, i'd love to see Mark next to them with a trophy of his own

[Odrl]

Good win for Selby, but he still made quite a few unforced errors towards the end. It was enough to beat Carter, but will it be enough against the likes of Robertson later in the tournament? He will be a big favourite in the quarter-finals though, whomever he faces. :smile:

[GeordieDS]

Hopefully Perry beats Ronnie tomorrow so I can laugh at the excuses some of the ROS fans will make.

It's like watching a car crash in slow motion reading some of the idiotic comments because Ronnie is losing a game (shakes head)

[svendh]

Who is the older man sat next to Damien hirst this afternoon at the ronnie match? Is it ronnies farther?

[scottley]

I've never seen his Dad at a tournament that Ronnie plays in, i think he stays away for obvious reasons, could be wrong though?
