What a surprise, up and down on the safety shot again....Aghh. Can't take it!!!

Well don't watch it or don't post constant negative nonsense.

hearing lots of "come on Ding"

[richo]

Back to the corner to wipe the cue...

I don't think the audience is "hostile" to Ding in the slightest; I think they are stunned like us at the score line and are silently wishing him to start play how we know he can!

The crowd are fine. This fella is just full of mince. Hostile?? He should watch some White v Hendry finals to see a hostile home crowd lol

[JimMalone]

Well the crowd does support Ding as well.
Finally there is the 1 for Ding.

[golferson123]

Yes but can you imagine how difficult it must be, in your first final, as a 'foreigner', playing against a hostile crowd that appears to support your opponents gamesmanship.

I'm not saying they should be going nuts for Ding, but a bit of support would be nice. It almost seems cruel to be cheering and shouting for Selby here when he is already miles ahead and Ding is almost having a nervous break down out there.

I'm a tennis fan and one of the things I love about Wimbledon is that the crowd always get behind the underdog and give them a boost when they need it.

its selby vs ding, forget the crowd! they don't take the trophy home

Indeed, and as expected...the crowd has always loved Ding.

C'mon son take the last frame as well...

[neuronic]

Hooray...!

[richo]

Well don't watch it or don't post constant negative nonsense.

If you don't think Selby slows every important shot down you don't know a thing about snooker and shouldn't be here.

[Erwan_BZH]

Alleluia !!!!

[Cov86]

That was nice. Hopefully Ding can relax now, pinch this next frame and come back this evening and play a lot better.

[neuronic]

Man, Ding sure looks like he's close to tears again... poor puppy.

[ghost121]

Selby is Selby, he's there to win. Personally, I would not put him alongside the likes of Ebdon at all. Selby is very rarely negative. He's as tough as nails, end of. And I'm a Ding fan who wants Ding to win.

[daffie]

Huge relief for Ding...he got rather emotional as well. You could see what it means to him. Gotta say I just love the young man...such a sweetheart he is

So final frame of this session...I think that 1st frame was the catalist, we're are all set for a huge comeback from Ding now.

:snooker:

You just don't like Selby and utter nothing but constant drivel his way. Ding takes as long as Selby. You would not be caring about what Selby was doing if it was Ding who was 6-1 up now would you.
