    Some black to finish it off

    Hard to see anyone beating Trump when he's playing like that.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,854 ✭✭✭zuutroy


    One Trump that's going to be around for four more years for sure!


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,840 ✭✭✭✭Rothko


    Wilson in great form tonight. I didn't expect him to be 4-0 up against Selby.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,989 ✭✭✭waynescales1


    Wilson bottling it here, that red he missed was a shocker. About to go 4-3.

    story with selbys shoes?

    the length of em?

    is it tactical a decision to keep one foot touching the ground more easily?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,559 ✭✭✭refusetolose


    what a jammy shot by wilson

    Some fluke, but misses frame winning black after poor positional shot on the pink.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,870 ✭✭✭Sultan of Bling


    Wilson nicks the frame to lead 5-3


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,399 ✭✭✭Arthur Daley


    Some fluke for Wilson coming out of the snooker

    Would be such a Selby thing to do.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,399 ✭✭✭Arthur Daley


    You'd miss Clive commentating for ITV at this tournament. Hopefully he gets a chance to come back again.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,989 ✭✭✭waynescales1


    I’m gonna do a Stephen Hendry and predict that Kyren Wilson cannot win this match.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,840 ✭✭✭✭Rothko


    Great shot by Wilson to get onto that red but he fails to take advantage of it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,840 ✭✭✭✭Rothko


    Very good comeback by Selby over the course of a long, arduous match.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,989 ✭✭✭waynescales1


    Yeah, Wilson was poor but Selby played well.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,534 ✭✭✭Chalk McHugh


    Didn't see any snooker yesterday but reading posts on here and i see Selby does it again! That man doesn't know when he's beaten. What a rock solid temperament.

    He's won his last 10 ranking event finals beating John Higgins twice, Ronnie, Williams and Ding amongst others. Like him or loathe him Mark Selby is withouta doubt one of snookers greats.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,399 ✭✭✭Arthur Daley


    Let's not forget he'd probably be the World Champion if it wasn't for one of, if not the most, outragous performances from Ronnie back in August.

    No question. But a horrible player to watch and a total charisma free zone aswell.

    Ronnie has lost a heap of weight since going back to the running.

    It was a gripping encounter alright - almost 5 hrs worth :pac:

    6 nil to the jester in head to heads I believe... He has the 'Indian Sign' over the Warrior..

    Expect Robbo to beat Mark though. The Aussie won't be as hapless (I think it's fair to say Wilson was - that pink :eek: )

    No century break in last night's match either - doesn't bode well for Mark 'going forward'.

    Hon the Rocket - you'd have to fear for Holty.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,534 ✭✭✭Chalk McHugh


    Holt has had some success against Ronnie recently. He's won their last three meetings and four of last five. And raced into a 1-0 lead here knocking in a nice ton while doing so. Hard to believe it but Ronnie might be a little sick at the sight of Holty at this stage :)


  • Posts: 7,792 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Holt doing well here.

    One more thing on last night's match - I thought (other's might disagree, or think it's an exaggeration) it was bang out of order that new 'mc' introducing Selby as having the second best cue action in his household . Some might think it innocuous enough, but, for me, no such embarrassing/ family references should be made. His missus aint exactly a household name.

    I suppose he was told to say that, but even so.. :o

    He's only after introducing Ronnie by saying ' we call him Tina Turner because he's simply the best'. Can somebody tell him to put a sock in it. It's absolute drivel.

    That was a tasty red from Ron..


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,854 ✭✭✭zuutroy


    Trump-Selby-Ronnie-Robertson would be some semifinal lineup!


  • Posts: 7,792 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    That black was Jimmy White-esque.. Saw James miss a couple like that - except that one by Ron was unimportant.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,534 ✭✭✭Chalk McHugh


    Nice to have a bit of rocket with your lunch. He made mince meat of Holty in the end.

    Was out of the room for a few mins.. Came back in, and Ronnie was clearing up (back to the camera) - thought it was Holt for a sec.

    Vintage O'Sullivan performance there. A treat.

    Sublime from Ronnie today. Does he play Allen tonight?
