That blue reminds me of the SI blue. In the semi.

As Dave Hendon remembers too.

It would have been easier for Luca to try and go up and down off the bottom cushion with the cue ball to try and knock the pink in that was sitting over the pocket than taking on that blue.

Dennis Taylor got his Vicky mention in anyway!!!

Arthur Daley · 01-05-2023 07:45PM

Whatever you do, don't hit the blue

sligeach · 01-05-2023 07:45PM

And now Ken has demonstrated it on the practice table after the frame was over. I think Luca should have gone for it instead.

Bad miss by Selby

Loafing Oaf · 01-05-2023 07:54PM

Missing that black could be fatal for Selby

walshb · 01-05-2023 07:55PM

Selby’s 40-1 now

@gormdubhgorm

me equivalent re "Snooker's Coldplay" - and it's going on personality/demeanour as much, or more even, than actual playing style: not given it a lotta thought, but Kyren Wilson would have to be in top three anyhow 😃

that little shuffle he does when getting himself set, as well as the nowadays obligatory (seems like it anyhow - lotta players at it) cue rubbing; plus his almost defeatist sounding voice, makes him a reasonable shout to get the call - "Coldplay Comparatively" wise 😛

walshb · 01-05-2023 08:10PM

Fook me. Slow down

rolling boh · 01-05-2023 08:10PM

Bit of life left in Selby if he can win this frame .

walshb · 01-05-2023 08:11PM

Trickle in behind green?

Say Your Number · 01-05-2023 08:13PM

When you really need the pocket to be generous.

sligeach · 01-05-2023 08:13PM

I thought that would wobble in the jaws and drop for Selby. But no, it didn't deserve to either as it was wide. But Luca hasn't made the most of his subsequent chance either.

only 8 or 9 to one when i checked about 2 minutes ago

would've been tempted to have €3 on at 40s

walshb · 01-05-2023 08:15PM

Couldn’t have been closer

Say Your Number · 01-05-2023 08:15PM

Could be here after dark.

Hope so

lawrencesummers · 01-05-2023 08:17PM

nothing like the latter stages of a snooker final to see who can stumble over the line often playing terribly!

sligeach · 01-05-2023 08:18PM

What are you talking about Shaun? That wasn't an advisable attempt from Luca, and it was a direct contradiction to the advice he was giving last night about Luca pushing the boat out.

hayrabit · 01-05-2023 08:18PM

Prediction: Selby wins this frame

cue some major "jestering" , giving it large !!

couldn't have made a worse call than that one, tbf 🙂

nothing from him at all - if anything, he still looks like he knows he's beaten

walshb · 01-05-2023 08:20PM

Luca missing some chances to close this. Some shot selections a bit iffy

jj880 · 01-05-2023 08:21PM

Selby not gone yet

sligeach · 01-05-2023 08:22PM

See, and now they're talking about that miss from Luca in the BBC studio. And maybe he's pushing it too far with some attempts. It wasn't necessary, he brought that Selby break on himself.

gormdubhgorm · 01-05-2023 08:24PM

Is Selby the equivalent of Arnold Schwarzenegger in that Predator film. Or is he Selby the Predator?

I can't make my mind up.

lawrencesummers · 01-05-2023 08:24PM

I wouldnt rule out selby missing something easy in this frame

hayrabit · 01-05-2023 08:25PM

match not fully over yet

thread might yet reach last year's 1,762 Post total

The Nal · 01-05-2023 08:26PM

Selby is coming back and winning this isnt he?

sligeach · 01-05-2023 08:27PM

Enough of the melodrama Shaun. 🙄
