[jrc750]

Nice result there for Mark, must be favourite now ??

[daffie]

Well what an absolutely brilliant and mesmerising session that was from Mark Selby!

Selby went for every shot, played absolutely spot on safety and snookers, and had Ros on the ropes from the start.

Haven't seen such a brilliant session of tough match play snooker for a long while...under the most extreme pressure.

Mr Selby...sir, you are granite! :snooker:

went for every shot ????????WTF

Ronnie is a great player but it is fascinating to see him under pressure for a change.

[Masterdoctorgenius]

six frames in a row. ronnie has to win to win two frames at least

[Ronnie's tip]

What a terrible session. I was sure Selby won win it, but 4-0?

ROS needs the luck to swing his way, and start playing better himself.

What rubbish. Have you ever played snooker? Went for every shot? If every shot was a double get down wonder round the table and lay a snooker then maybe yes.

Luck does play an integral part of the game and when one player seems to get it you can gaurantee the other will get nothing but bad luck. People often say luck evens itself out but I'd love them to watch that session and prove it based on those 4 frames alone!

[scottley]

Brilliant session, c'mon Mark!

[snookerpoolman]

I think that is the stuff of conspiracy theorists. Anyone can cough at an inopportune time. Selby could have got back up off the shot as the cough happened at least a second before he delivered the cue.

Hendry used to play in tournaments when people were saying miss whilst he was on the shot and it never put him off!

I watched Hendry v Matthew Stevens years ago at the crucible. We were in front row and 2 rows behind us were all Stevens' supporters shouting 'go on my lovely...' and other Welsh-isms...Hendry just glared at them and carried on.. It was priceless!!

[Reef]

What a boring player is Selby, this will kill beautiful game!

"The Dismantling of the Potting Machine".

Better than IMAX Inception. You people have no idea what you're witnessing right here.

Dr. Steve Peters and his magic voodoo apparently couldn't help the Ronmeister with his last shot at that black.
Still, I want Ronnie to make a comeback here and force Selby to change to more offensive tactics as well.

[richo]

Well my bet on Selby earlier today at 5.2 to 1 looks quite good. Pays £62 for £10 bet, and I can even take £27 profit now if I want it given it's on the betfair exchange. Hmmm, decisions. Any thoughts on what I should do? Gut feel is leave it the way the match is going.

[Kargetina]

The tears in this thread are so tasty...this match reminds me Federer vs Nadal and Federers fans crying because Nadal destroys his backhand and plays with a smart gameplan.
