2017 UK Championship

Could be a close finish to this one... :snooker:

4 - 3 to Scott now and he's looking more confident as the match goes on. Early upset? Surely "The Hairster from Leicester" will grind it out in the end....

I’m fairly sure he will indeed.

Edit : 5-3...wow!

And here comes the frame where the reds will end up at the top end..

[daffie]

A nicely protracted frame...love it...bring it on

[PatBlock]

Hard to see Scott losing it from here....

Selby just didn't turn up. Happy for Scott but really strange performance from Mark. I know he had the win in China but he hasn't been right this season. I maybe one of the select few that actually enjoys watching Mark play and it improves my game analysing what he does but today I've never seen him so poor. Bizarre from someone who is so dominant in the game but at least he is still a gentleman in defeat.....unlike the spoilt brat Trump.

Scott played well, scored highly (unlucky not to get at least one century) and kept calm in that final frame.

Selby was poor though. Missed a few shots by quite a wide margin and misjudged badly a couple of safety shots which let Scott in for frame winning breaks.

Robertson played some good stuff on the other table, didn't he? He had three centuries after the interval, I can't remember if they were all total clearances or not, and he got well past 400 points without reply at one point. :smile:

A bit disappointed to be honest, I really like Mark Selby. From what I saw, he was not playing good today. Well done Scott Donaldson though, it is surprising he only won his second match this season, definitely better player than the results suggest.

I also realized today that Robertson really need deep run to qualify for masters, as he is going to lose points from his victory two years ago. Can't remember, had anyone before score three consecutive centuries in two consecutive matches? I believe if so, it still must be pretty rare feat to achieve.

If you have seen mark in the first round you would not be surprised at the result - he was lucky to get through that one.

BBC just showing clips from Williams game, there is an in off on the link and then the pink is back on table.

Sure I asked this last tournament but doesn't the colour stay down if potted but a foul committed.

Don't know why I get confused with fouls on the colours..

If a foul occurs in the same stroke where a colour is pocketed, the colour is always spotted.
Where only the black is on the table, the first score or foul ends the frame so it is not spotted UNLESS the scores are then equal and a tie-break occurs with the black spotted for this
