Masters Final Discussion

[hegeland]

Chris Edwards of Kasabian is in the audience. I have no idea who that is, but apparently he's a mate of Selby.

Your not alone hegeland nor do i

[The Boss]

Menacing Man Mountain

Ref: Jan Verhaas

I'm glad you didn't forget to mention Jan. There is not a more menacing sight in Snooker than a close up of Verhaas towering behind the player at the table with his bulging eye bags and brooding eyes. He looked ready to thump one of the players

[spike]

Oh no it's Steve Davis and Willie Thorne

[ferret]

Steve and Willy in the commentary box, thank god its not Dennis and John

I think Steve does a lot better in the box than in the studio.

Losing the 9th frame seems to have affected Mark badly. Not a good start to the next frame.

EDIT: make that very bad start

until ronnie let him off again! safety is crap

[tallguy]

I cant believe he won that frame !! Was lucky more than once not to let ronnie in with an easy red.

Well I guess that was some instant karma after Ronnie's fluked red in the 9th.

[hegeland]

Weird frame, first Hawaii snooker, Ronnie missing a sitter at 16-0-, then a century from Selby.

10 frames played, we're halfway. Looks like a late finish.

selby's huge luck reminds me of the 2008 welsh open final
i think selby will win this too...ronnie is already looking a bit ****ed because of his opponent's luck

[hegeland]

Patsy Fagan in the audience.

I don't think it was a sitter, Hege. think he was snookered by the black and tried to swerve it around.


late finish it is 3 am here and I have work tomo morning

[toupihiggins]

np mate....a ronnie vs selby final worths everything
i've sacrificed my tomorrow's exam for this match

[hegeland]

Selby's in the zone... Ronnie is saved by the bell.

[tallguy]

Well played by Selby to lead 7-5
