    Last night's final frame resembled one of those late night ones down the snooker hall when you are determined to beat your opponent no matter what. Bingham must have been thinking "wtf ?......just give up mate & we can all go home to bed".
    Classic Selby really, coming back when you need 6 snookers is not never knowing when to give up, its wasting all our time!
    Doesn't happen very often I know but Wilson gave away 53(?) points on a snooker yesterday tbf so it's maybe not as daft as it first seems. 
    Fair point, Wilson hitting the black 7 times was pretty crazy to be fair! Can’t remember many biggest scores just from getting out of a snooker

    Yep, definitely an exception for sure.

    great fightback from Murphy .. has Wilson shot his bolt ? .. Bingham is looking more relaxed and confident than Selby

    I don't think I've ever seen Selby relaxed, or in that fact happy. Jester from Leicester, give me a break.

    Two really good semi finals.

    Rooting for Bingham, and I half want Murphy to win now after the comeback, but it would be nice to see a first time winner, means more, so still hoping for Wilson to win the whole thing.

    for me i hope Wilson goes through but it makes for a good semi final.

    Bingham/Murphy would probably be the most entertaining final match up

    Murphy really impressing. 14-12 up.

    I really hope Bingham can win the last two.

    Selby is obviously a fantastic player but hate how he can drag games out.

    Six frames in a row for Murphy to be 15-12. Some great snooker...

    99% pot success.  That's amazing.

    Murphy has been superb - one frame to win.Potting everything...

    Yeah, gotta hand it to Murphy, he's playing way better than I thought he ever could again. Seeing everything like a beach ball at the moment.

    Brilliant from Murphy. Rooting for him to win the final.

    I'd can see him winning as he generally plays good exciting snooker as well as some very loose snooker .. BUT, I had a few quid on Selby at the start of the tournament .. SOOO it's Selby for me after a very good final.
    AND Bingham and that twat of a BBC interviewer Walker are out of order suggesting that Selby indulges in gamesmanship (a k a cheating)  .. Bingham, you should be better than that and Walker as a commentator is fecking useless

    A very poor interview - didn't do Bingham any favours.

    Hard to call the final - should be a good watch. Murphy has been potting beautifully but how will he cope with the safety play of Selby?

    That's one football match and two snooker matches I've watched today. Not one has turned out like I wanted.  Might need to stop watching sport.

    i don't know how others feel but for me BBC seem to have given the job of presenting to Blue Peter winners of some sort of competition. Glad i can move over over to Eurosport.

    I think the old guard have all aged at the same time and need replacing, got themselves into a position where they've had to find too many replacements at the same time.

    Yes but when it's past the snookers required stage the balls aren't replaced after a miss  so that can't happen.

    I quite like Rob Walker normally but only as an emcee. He is no commentator and his interviews have been poor. He put words in Bingham's mouth 2 minutes after he'd lost a gruelling match. 

    Murphy was sensational today but I think Selby will be too strong for him.

    I hope Murphy wins but fancy Selby. Murphy has been written off in most of his games so far so who knows?

    Interesting contrast of styles.

    Come on the magician! Selby is my least favourite player by a mile, probably slightly irrational but would hate to see him win. Even celebrated his win before he’d potted match ball!

    Bit of a shame Murphy is only 2 ahead, had chances for that to have been 6-2 or 7-1, but glad he's ahead and playing better.

    Selby is imposing himself on this game now and strangling Murphy.

    I know Selby is a grinder & a fantastic player, but i find him so boring to watch
