    Lisowski opens up the evening session with a quick fire century. Selby looking as miserable as ever in his seat. Selby leads 5-4.

    Just noticed Ronnie not in studio since he lost to Selby. He usually hangs around with Jimmy getting a few bob and hotel expences off Eurosport no doubt. I'd say that loss to Selby pissed him right off.

    Could do with at least one scrappy, tactical frame. This is far too open. A nice mix is best i feel.

    Selby lays the world's most impossible snooker. I don't agree with applying the miss rule here.

    Ha! Good enough for Selby with Jack getting out of that. Selby was very lucky to be in a position to lay that.

    Lisowski had a great opportunity to draw level there and missed a sitter of a red. Aghh.

    Edit: And now it's 6-4 Selby.

    Selby looks like he just saw a ghost. He's such a bad loser.

    Did Lisowski acknowledge that fluke? Selby looks extremely pissed-off.

    Dont think he did. Selby has had enough look over the years, he knows how it works but he's such a sulk. In fact i'd go as far to say i've never saw a player who looks as pissed off and miserable while sitting in his chair. Looks like he's going to cry most of the time.

    Shut up Selby whispering sweet nothings under his breath. I want Jack to come back and win now to see Selby explode with rage.

    Nicely done but I was nervous when he played that green...

    Agree with Foulds’ “death-defying” comment.

    Lisowski clears to steal the frame after that fluke, and it's now 6-5. One more frame before the interval and it will certainly make things interesting if Lisowski can win it.

    Jimmy White is already preparing to recreate that Lisowski fluke at the inteval.

    Surely there has to be a re-rack here.

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


    Is there any merit in carrying over points for a rerack? In this instance rack up a new frame with Selby starting 24 points ahead?

    Selby not enough in torturing his opponent. Now he's added the Glasgow crowd and millions of viewers to his punishment list.

    16 minutes spent protecting a 24-point lead

    Got that right i think, you have to give it time when a player has a lead, even a moderate one. Forced selby to take initiative which was right thing to do. Good refereeing.

    Selbys core body temperature rose to over 1,000 degrees celcius when the white stopped behind the blue there.

    I don't think I've ever seen Selby this rattled. But Lisowski is also lashing at the balls.

    Trust our own Fergal O Brien to have been involved in the longest frame in recent times.

    Lisowski was asking for that. He was getting wreckless and losing his marbles. Now he will lose the frame. And probably match as well.

    Lisowski too aggressive, lost his patience after a lot of excellent safety play. Disappointing.

    Lisowski threw that crucial frame away. Not what you'd expect from a player trying to win his first ranking title. 7-5 to Selby at the interval now.

    Even the red Selby played there to win the frame was so negative

    That frame lasted 2 hours, 3 minutes, and 41 seconds. People have run a marathon in less time.

    Selby will be annoyed to run out of position there. You could tell he was determined to clinch the frame at that visit.

    I think Lisowski is gone here. He was a mile out with that long pot.

    It would be less painful doing a marathon than having to watch Fergal play. Jeez that's ridiculous.

    8-6 now. Crowd rooting for Lisowski. If he could win the next one, it could be game on again.

    Selby wins 9-6. Think we all predicted that on here. He was just too strong. But good weeks snooker for Lisowski. Played some great stuff. One to watch going forward no doubt.

    Bad news for the anyone but selby brigade. By no means shot the lights out tonight or this week, but is definitely getting closer to the vintage selby of 16/17. Would need a step up again to worry trump but is on my short list for all the big end of season tournaments.

    He played solidly this week and looked impressive beating Ronnie. He plays Ali Carter in the first round of the Masters, and if he wins, which seems likely, he'll face Higgins or Hawkins in the quarterfinals.

    Selby is always one to fancy at the World Championship. The longer matches really suit his "grinder" style of play.
