UK Championships Final discussion

gonna be nip and tuck by looks of it all the way

Reminds me a little of the Carter/Murphy semi. Murphy in the role of Carter in terms of getting the run of the balls and the flukes but it can't last and Selby to turn up the heat tonight and close this out....

[cueman]

Selby has had so much run and has done throughout the tournament. His name is obviously on the trophy this year, feel sorry for Shaun he's been the best player of the tournament but once again its just not happened for him.

C'mon it's 4-4

Comedy genius.

C'mon the ginger assassin knock this clown out!

[PatBlock]

That's set things up nicely for tonight then, just what we wanted (well, maybe not all of us).

There was some astonishing potting from Murphy again, he's looking more like his world championship winning self than I've seen in a long time, and some digging deep from Selby, who's clearly far from his best ATM, par for the course so far. It'll be interesting to see which of the two contrasting styles comes out on top at the end of it all. Can't wait. :biggrin:
Wouldn't it be great if we go all 11 frames in as well.

Pretty fair session I would say 4-4..... some great potting from Murphy, we should be for a tight 11 frames tonight!!

[cueman]

If ever I needed to prove that Selby was lucky that miss hit when he could clearly see the side of the pack and hitting the black scattering the reds and coming out without leaving a pot is just taking the ****. Then off a good safety from Murphy he can see a red and pots it.

Justice is done though, terrific clearance from Murphy. 5-4

[coomsey76]

What a great steal from Murphy.... brillant clearance!!

[cueman]

OMG the flukey clown is back, bang in trouble hit the red down the table came back up hit another red into the middle and now in with a chance to win frame. This is just unbelievable luck in every frame.

Yep, I knew it from the comeback against Robertson where he rode his luck in that match too, his name is on the trophy. Its a shame that luck plays such a massive and vital part in this game at times.

[cueman]

This is just shocking stuff. How can we have a number one in the world who is so poor and lucky? Its a travesty for snooker that this guy is masquerading as the best player in the world.

[Giggity1984]

You are joking right? I'm guessing you've never played the game with any pressure on EVERY shot? Seriously, they are both class players. Murphy has had his fair share of luck in the past too. Nerves do funny things. Perhaps snooker isn't a sport you should watch if you don't like luck or nerves playing a part in the outcome.
