    Brecel needed that, big time. Could still go either way. The amount of good fortune Selby has enjoyed is worrying.

    never known a player that when they miss a pot… to cover / snooker their opponent so often, no way deliberately..

    Are ‘Where is that cue ball going’ and the ‘Liverpudlian Pratt’ in the commentary box together for the final session…..?

    life imitates art - for "art" read "sporting drama" , difficulties in life etc

    I'd say it's not for no good reason that the Brown Ball is in middle of "D"

    far as "shots to nothing" go, manys the time the only likely looking pot (attempt at same) after a shot to nothing red goes in from distance, is Brown to middle

    those shots far from easy - ergo "Potting the Brown" (euph) aint always straightforward

    Brecel one away from immortality, and yet the BBC studio nearly made it exclusively all about Selby. SMH.

    That pink was ballsy, especially with the easy alternatives to play safe.

    I’ve no access to bbc or euro sport so looking at the final via ‘social media’……if Brecel wins it, will he be the first player from mainland Europe to do so….? Where is that trophy/Q ball going…?

    It's in Brecel's own hands to fulfill his dream. The cannon wasn't great, but he seems to think it's alright.

    If he wins this he will be the second ever winner from outside the commonwealth to do so.

    An easy one, but who was the other?

    It's Brecel's Championship to lose now. Keep a level head and composure and he's there.

    Spare a thought for Si. He could easily have been here. He's not quite ready though, needs to round out his game. But he has a big future in the game.
