    Brecel is nervy.

    That was a mile wide.

    The difference between a man who has been in the trenches before and one who hasn't is starting to show.

    Yeah this game is definitely all over.

    The ebb and flow of a world championship final is the most interesting thing - so much more about mentality than ability. Hopefully Luca can pull himself together.

    Calling it now,18-16 to Selby, Luca is gone, missing pots by 4/5 inches



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,939 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    Two in in it now.

    It's why I love these longer matches and don't bother with best of 7's or 9's.

    Huge frame here and it looks set up nicely for Selby

    Jimmy White knows all too well how Luca is feeling



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,008 ✭✭✭Sorolla


    Snooker is a cruel sport.

    selby taking Brecel apart and all Luca can do is sit passively and watch the destruction


    i never believed Selby would come back now I believe he will win the Titel.


    feel sad for the boy, Brecel.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,029 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    Like his 147. He only had one relatively difficult red, but he did have to make the shots in fairness. So you know...meh.

    I don't agree with Hendry talking about weakness in this frame, regarding Luca. Selby has had a massive fluke to start this break and there hasn't been anything difficult so far.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,272 ✭✭✭lawrencesummers


    Luca will get a chance again yet, maybe not in this frame and Its just very doubtfull if he will be able to take it

    Selby, i've noticed this week anyway, aint the best at going into the pack at pace off the blue

    a bit unlucky where white finished , but Luca would've gotten far more action on it: his cueball almost pauses as the balls are scattering, before spinning away into safe territory

    decentish safety there from Luca - Selby can't really afford to leave him in here

    mon Luca

    The last few finals have been a bit underwhelming, great to have a bit of drama tonight.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,283 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Brecel’s accuracy is dire



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 23,888 ✭✭✭✭Akrasia


    Ok. Luca needs to settle now

    and I doubt the broad in the ad is an actual "juggernaut" (if that's correct word) driver neither - ad seriously annoying for many reasons ;(



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,939 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    Christ that ball was not even close.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 2,583 ✭✭✭Marty Bird


    Miles off again.

    This is so weak from Luca. It's not like Selby is pulling off shots of the Championship here. He's been handed gimme's.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 536 ✭✭✭murtyd17


    All the momentum with selby



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 33,259 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    Right, all the ironing is done - you can wrap it up now, Luca, there's a good lad 👍



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,165 ✭✭✭hayrabit


    joint favourites now - both @ 9/10



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,730 ✭✭✭rolling boh


    Luca looks a beaten man sitting in the chair huge ask now .



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,165 ✭✭✭hayrabit
