    Not the highest standard of play in that match by any means but very entertaining stuff.

    What on earth happened with that pink in frame 23? I've heard more about that than the rest of the match put together!

    Oh look, there's some Z-list celebrity who has joined us to watch the game here in the crucible *camera pans to audience*. Doesn't snooker attract all sorts of people. Now back to the winner's speech.

    I assume Barry is responsible for no Tuxedos tonight. Pity. Used to find it quite charming. From a different time.

    Unpredictable Ronnie again, different class but his concentration leaves him down at times. Still one of the greatest ever and will go on to win this easily,luckily it's only selby today.

    Yes completely unfair. Everyone reacts differently to these situations and it's silly to label him as boring because he didn't show enough emotion for your liking.

    Said a few pages back that he couldn't handle being down a few frames but he definitely proved me wrong. Fair play to him.

    Can't be olive people are so naive as to think Ronnie could loose this game. I'm not saying he threw to game to potentially win money from gambling, but he definitely could have won the game if he tried. Hindsight is 20 20 vision I never saw you disagreeing with me when ronnie was 10-5 up and missed and unmissable pot to go up 11-5 which surely would have been game? Pink on frame 23??? Think about it

    +1.

    If you've just been through four days hard labour and all the ups and downs involved in a dingdong match like that, being able to recite your name and address ten seconds after the winning shot would be an achievement in my book. He's hardly likely to have prepared an effusive speech.
