2016 UK Championship

Selby is a tough guy to play against when he's off. When he's on like this, good luck.

[JimMalone]

Well, Selby now making one or two mistakes. So this could become a match.

Exactly!

Hoping John can get this last frame before the interval...very important.

:snooker:

I might be wrong but it looks like the pockets in this tournament have been easier than in some of the other tournaments this season. For example in the third frame in Selby vs Higgins, Selby rattled one red in that looked like a miss and so did John (first pot of the match for John). Any thoughts?

And hopefully John can win this fourth frame and keep this match alive.

Is it just me, I am watching both matches, there does seem to be more bad-contacts and pingy cushions compared to the whole day yesterday - table temperature? :biggrin:

The bottom right hand one has seemed generous all week on one of the tables, seems to have taken wide shots where the pocket meets the side cushion, some of them I never thought would wobble let alone drop

[Kargetina]

What a lucky break for Higgins

A horrible shot gave him that snooker to win the frame.

[daffie]

Massive frame for John! Here's hoping for the typical interval-turnaround...

Does anyone else find it odd that a player would never be allowed to wear a nice pair of dark-coloured trainers, and yet Brecel is permitted to wear those monstrosities? They look like diamond-encrusted house slippers!

[daffie]

I think we should have one silly tournament where everyone can wear whatever they want...that could be fun...and scary

[VillaGuy]

Great battle this, can't see Selby making a mistake though, he's so solid in this kind of situation

Commentators curse

Hendry and willie seem to get on with each other quite well. Wouldn't have necessarily predicted that!
