2016 World Championship discussion

When will commentators learn to shut the *bleep* up when it comes to calling frames as 'safe'. If they'd kept their traps shut we'd be ten minutes into the next frame by now. But no, they were their usual premature selves and decided to put another frame on the scoreboard for Ding, and now look where we are!!

[snookerfran]

and you call yourself a 'snookerfran'

Touché! Also, argh. Ding is in trouble here.

[peterpackage]

IF Ding loses this frame, he will lose the next 2 and the match is over, it's that big a frame

So it's the commentators fault Ding missed the red?

Yes, of course. They tempted fate.

[AndrewB]

Dennis Taylor just said that Ding nearly left a free ball by leaving Selby angled by a foul - that's not right, is it?

[Shockerz]

Can't fault Selby's safety play, incredible snooker angles.

Absolutely! Still want him to loose this frame though

angled by pocket jaw is not a snooker so no freeball option anymore

I can, cos I'm bitter and twisted. I'd have wrapped my cue around Selby's nut by now if I was in Ding's position.

[islandfox]

Don't see why not. I think the rule states that if you can't hit a red in a direct line after your opponent fouls, it's a free ball. I don't think it specifies being blocked by a ball, but I could be wrong.

[richo]

This is pure torture. Come on Ding!

[armstm]

he's the best in the world at that.. I tip the hat I'm not wearing as murray walker might say! I recall him getting 3 or 4 snookers against Hendry at the crucible

Can't fault Selby's safety play, incredible snooker angles.

[daffie]

Midnight finish?!

Yes, if he was snookered by the pocket.
