2014 World Championship - Discussion

[brusque]

Selby has dug a nice hole for himself ... I think he will fall into it as well now

[Ronnie's tip]

How many times can i mention the name 'Vicky' ........even she looks embarrassed every time WT mentions her .

Tbh Dennis Taylor is the worst at that.

[neuronic]

There's the run of the balls I just mentioned...

I'm feeling some sick pleasure watching Selby under all this snooker-stress. Normally it's him causing the problems.

Bit of role-reversal here indeed

But...Selby takes the frame anyway.

16-14 up...COME ON MARK!!!

[brusque]

In the end Neil helped him out otherwise Mark had no plans of winning that frame

[Kargetina]

Yessssssss 16 14!! That was soooo tense...some great snookers by Robbo

quick RULE QUESTION guys. When Selby hit the red over the hole, went into the reds and fluked position on the black. What if he had gone into the pack and white stuck right in the pack (with reds all around the white), i mean so he couldn't possibly hit any color. Would it be loss of frame ?

Why would it be loss of frame? He would just have to make an attempt to hit a colour, to the referee's satisfaction.

It would probably result in him losing the frame as he'd be leaving Robertson with an open table and reds spread everywhere, so if that's what you mean, then yes, he probably would have lost the frame.

Win double when they are together

I really don't think Selby is playing that good! Robertson's unlucky frame and some very loose safeties have gifted frames!

What was all the kerfuffle just then, when Hazel was handing back to the match? Sounds like someone fell off their chair or something.

Someone was doing their best to stifle a guffaw anyway

I'd be interested to know this too? I wonder if the white has ever landed tight in the pack surrounded by reds after potting a red? I've certainly never seen it.

Just to reiterate...

COME ON MARK!!!

Sounded like Davis and Hendry were giggling?

[cyberheater]

Olivier Marteel has been brilliant this match. A total professional.

Heard it as well...must have been Steve knocking over his glass of water or something I could hear him giggling in the background.
