Selby on the charge now. From serious danger at 10-4 down he's got it back to within 1 frame and trails 11-100

13-11 in front now going into evening session. Quite a turnaround.0

Was going to put 50 quid on Selby at the start of the championship but I didn't.Talal said:13-11 in front now going into evening session. Quite a turnaround.
Mixed feelings about the result now0 -
For me I usually cheer Selby and Robertson.
And whoever is playing Higgins and Murphy0 -
That long red that Selby just got was (I thought) impossible!0

loved that montage they had on in the interval. snooker's been blessed with so many greats over the years1

Brave call that by the ref.
Can you imagine calling that foul against someone like Roy Keane :-)1 -

This frame is a real close one. Great shot for Higgins just then.0

They've showed it several times and I still don't think it hit.Chizz said:

Thinking of phoning in sick at work tomorrow - is 'snooker loopy' a recognised medical condition?0

I am absoutely certain it touched. But the ref was right to make the call he did, because he didn't see it and he wasn't overturned by the tech guys.Karim_myBagheri said:

Can't believe there's empty seats there. Thought it sold out?0

If they have I'm starting to worry for them as they've been gone for at least the last two hours I've been watching it.Chrissy\\\'s Army!! said:

There always seems to be the bloke in a Coventry who always has the same seat at the Crucible during the World Snooker. Seen him several times before in other years. Sits in the front row to the left of the player who sits in the left corner as we look at it from the main tv angle.0

His name's Brian Wright and has been to every Snooker World Championship for 23 years as well as every World Cup and European Championship that England have played in since 1988.AddickFC81 said:There always seems to be the bloke in a Coventry who always has the same seat at the Crucible during the World Snooker.

Poor form from Selby playing a shot with his chalk sitting on the cushion. Years ago was at a work meeting at the RAC club and did the same only for a member to chastise us for lowering the standard to a local billiard hall !!4

watching the reflection of the lights on the black I can see no movement. but very close so could well be wrong

Looked a push shot to me.1

Lovely moments with his kid who probably appreciates that Dad has done good but not quite what.0

Didn't matter in the end but shows the mental strength of those at the top to put it behind them and focus on the next frame.rina said:

Really good final that ebbed and flowed to the end.0 -
The black didn't move, so I don't think it touched. But for Selby to make 131 in the next just shows how mentally tough he is.0
-
As Steve Davis said. It wasn't a touching ball so the black would have had to move away from the white after being hit and doesnt look like it did to me.0

I went away the weekend so only got bits of the semi final, deserved winner who is a class above everyone at the mo. Some people seem to not like him, but you cant deny he is the total snooker player. Grinds out the wins when he needs to and makes some good breaks, not always the most entertaining (for some) but results all that matters.
I missed the shot on the black but saw all the twitter debate, between players/ fans
The other one which was quite contentious, where Higgins cue'd over the green hit the red but then hit the green after. makes sense but didnt really benefit Selby as he couldnt call a miss. He should have just let him carry on.
Next year up to £425,000 for the winner, not too bad that.0
