The Final: Selby Vs' Higgins

[hegeland]

The word from Sheffield is that this will be the last frame of this session unless they finish this one very soon.

Edit: OK, this is the final frame of this session.

That's good for Higgins I guess, or rather I hope....
COME ON JOHN!

From 4-12 to 10-12! That's truly amazing! The final session will be a thrilling one, that's for sure.

It will certanly benefit Higgins that they finished two frames short.

WAY TO GO MARK!!!

Again the schedualing is baffling. Why is the afternoon session so close to the evening one! Three years running they couldn't finish all 8 frames. They played 7 in 2005 and only 6 last year and this year

I just quote that, different colour
that was so amazing and unexpected after yesterday's poor show. Mark didn't play at all as if he was in any way behind, very attacking, amazing plants (that has to be the pool background), it just seems that nothing can go wrong today!

Yeah I thought about that too. If I was Selby I'd be furious about it. Higgins going into the final session with a certain two frames lead can make all the difference.

Why not start at 1400 instead of 1500?

[Stormwatch]

Awesome performance!!!!!!!

COME ON MARK!!!!!!!!

[snookersaint]

What a frame, just had over £150 riding on that final frame... £48 on Selby until Higgins WAS certain..... then everything went wrong.

Epic though, quality betting. Will Hill robbed Wally.

[Valderie]

Awesome performance!!!!!!!

COME ON MARK!!!!!!!!

Excellent to watch. Even though I've got John to win 18-10 in my predictions, I'd love Mark to win it now.

Hats off to Mark, a truely splendid performance. And this dosent just go to the comeback, but his overall performance at the Crucible this year.
He plays with an optimistic attitude and has silenced anyone who thought it would be have been an easy victory for John today.

He has a fairly unique style combining his 8-ball pool techniques into the game and showing a real character coming back from 12-4 which most players would simply have given up.
Regardless if he wins or not tonight, he has prooved he's capable of competiting with the elites up there and I hope he continues this form next season.

Very well done Mark!!! Awww, lucky for Higgins it could be easily a draw
Anyway it will be a thrilling one!

C'mon MARK!!!!!!!!!!!

[snookersaint]

Took alot of bottle coming back the way he did, On the most important stage in the world . amazing. Cant wait for tonight.

[LoopySnooker]

and there I was thinking it was going to be an early finish! certainly going to be exciting when it resumes in an hour! can't wait.

When all my faves get knocked out, I don't really mind who wins as long as its an exciting match (and I like watching both John and Mark play) but I've got to be honest - would be something special for Mark to keep going and win it now after being so far behind.

Following on from previous comments, yeah its a bit disappointing for Mark that they couldn't complete the session - the way it was going he might well have been level. As those in the studio said its all to do with the tv schedule. A shame but I guess we can't complain too much - without all the tv coverage where would snooker be.

Anyway, hope we have a fantastic final session tonight!

[Alex0paul]

I am hoping its another late finish like last year. The later the better. As Dennis Taylor once said "Nothing beats Rocking and Rolling at the Crucible after midnight."

[Aggrolite]

So unlucky for Selby they got taken off early. I reckon he would have taken the last two as well.

Still, 10-12. Here's to a 17-18 either way.
