Steve Davis talking about durting session breaks he was able to have a sleep ! I dont really think he woke up at the evening session :)  Interesting discussion earlier on about the formality of snooker and the suits and bow ties.  Why?  I suppose its tradition but not too comfortable

Murphy's a proper player.  Very natural and attacking.  Personality as well.  This is the best he's ever been and it looks like he'll push Selby.

Can't stand Murphy. 

 

Hope Selby skelps him. 

Pissing about when he needs 3 snookers just to tie and then misses and asks Selby if it's OK to concede.  I hope he gets battered by Selby.

Agreed . Just wasting time really . Trying to disturb Selbys rhythm . It’s a tactic but fairy boring and bland

Selby played on needing 5 snookers in semi final.

Selby just killing the frames and Murphy getting drawn into it.

 

Think he is going to be grateful for the end of session.

Attritional stuff and not the final the game needs right now.

 

Agreed. Perrie Mans would never have stood for this. :mad:

 

An absolute masterclass from the ******* lovechild of Cliff Thorburn and Ann Widdecombe last night. Nobody in the modern game can handle Selby in this mood. He just breaks opponent after opponent - if he wasn't a snooker player, he could've been a superb chess grandmaster IMO.

It annoys me that the crowd sit listening to the commentary on their wee headsets.

 

Which is also why they laugh at completely inopportune moments. Especially at Dennis Taylor's crap; **** his stupid white circles and statements of the bleedin' obvious. Please put him out to grass BBC, it's ridiculously overdue now.

 

Hendry, McManus and Davis are all top notch though.

Selby is like the grim reaper with a kiss me quick hat on

 

A Ronnie / Judd final would have been off the charts compared to this grindfest

I really enjoyed that last night, Selby is the master at what he does.

 

It’s up to Murphy to come out today and try and beat him.  This could go all the way.

It’s interesting with Trump. I know he thinks he’s one of the greatest snooker players in the history of the game but he’s 31 and he’s currently got the same number of world titles as Peter Ebdon. Very guilty of believing his own hype

He likes to be the showman but if he doesn't adapt as he gets older he won't win the World Championship again.

 

O'Sullivan is a one off but even he could have won it 10 times by now

OSullivan just shows when he feels like it, which is fair enough.

Oh the glamour of elite sport : Murphy munching on a bag of Cheddars as the kettle boils way in his dressing room. 😄

Murphy is outrageously good at times.  


Baffles me how he hasn’t won more than he has. One of the smoothest cue actions out there.

Murphy is missing far too many chances...though Selby is definitely getting the run of the balls.

When did cue chalk stop being blue?

 

Years ago.  The best chalk up until recently was a green colour.  Most of them use a different chalk in recent times.

Far too many mistakes from Murphy when he's been in winning positions. 

It should be all over very shortly.

Yep. Hes a machine today. Hardly making any errors whereas Murphy is.  Thats how games are won though.

Not yet !!!!!!!!!😄

I'll say it still is. Too many simple mistakes being made by him.

Is Selby really playing that well? Nah, missing plenty long pots...but Murphy missing easy chances, or the white goes in.

 

Really feel Murphy had to win that last frame this afternoon.

 

Done well to get this frame though when it looked like he'd lost it.

Probably is but that was a hell of a save by Murphy.

I'd say Selby did all the damage last night - and he was superb. Not nearly as good today but Murphy has been shocking.

This is really dull. Doherty trying hard to pretend that Selby is under pressure but he’s absolutely cruising here. 18-13 nailed on
