Selby's face there was a thing of beauty.
Runny-balls donning it here.
On one hand it would be good to have more up and coming players breaking through, but I absolutely love how a 44 year old qualifier can get to the semi finals of the world champs and make someone as good as Selby look like a bit of an idiot.
I also have no idea what you lot see in Murphy, i get proper smarmy school prefect/partridge vibes.
This is glorious. G'wan Ball Run.
I mean even then that would still leave him as more likeable than both SnookerBot and Kyren "That's Why They Call Me The Warrior" Wilson.Quote:

Aw ffs did he say that? I quite like him, he seems like a nice lad. Murphy comes across like the kind of bloke who went round his mates after school and spent the whole time talking to their parents.Quote:

I'd probably rather that than the Kasabian tribute band TJFL is going to see in Coalville. Would gain a lot more respect for him if he used this for his entrance music:Quote:

In an interview at his home one day he said something or other about mental strength and then "I guess that's why they call me the Warrior." Also (to his wife) "I mean there's Home Kyren and Snooker Kyren isn't there?"Quote:

I swear Selby's snooker becomes more of a ghastly eyesore with every passing year.
This frame could go on for hours yet.
This really is taking 'one for the purists' to new heights.
A pot!
Oh fuck off, Selby.
I'm sure his attitude sometimes is "Well if I can't enjoy this I don't see why anybody else should."
Just end the frame and leave me to my nightmares of you taking five minutes to plot your next safety.
He's playing the long game, trying to upset Bingham's circadian rhythms.
This frame still going. :D
Thank Christ for that.
THE JESTER in full on piss taking mode at the end there.
I like the idea of Selby becoming the barricade all champions have to conquer.
I genuinely think he was just trying to keep Bingham out of bed there.
There are definitely times he does it just to wind up his opponent.
I missed most of the evening and didn't see that much of the afternoon either but the highlights don't seem to be on now because of Selby's dicking about. Prick. :mad:
I feel this is once again appropriate...

If you get it below the din, Neal Foulds giving Selby shit for five minutes on the right hand table is great.
It was 95% Selby staring at the table with his cold, dead eyes while Bingham crumbled into dust anyway.Quote:

Selby's emotional inhibitor briefly shorted out there and allowed him to react to something.
I haven't watched yet today, but is Selby bogging Ball-run down with boring, scrappy frames?
They've completed one frame in about the last 90 minutes, i think, because of yet another re-rack. Bingham's on a decent break now though and hopefully about to make it 14-13.
bingham just played a very thin cut like i do playing pool
ballbag bingham playing proper shit now
THE JESTER has played his joker card. Bogged him down to the point of making everything awful.
Only Selby wins if he takes the lead.
Not to distract from the tension but Bingham's get up is atrocious.
Bollocks. Where's a kick when you need one?
"Yay, crowds are back and we're going to witness the snooker final."
<3am on Tuesday morning, Shelby calls for another re-rack>
Baldy's really shat the bed in the last three frames.
Have the BBC just stopped coverage of this or is it in some sort of interval?
No, BBC only seem to cover it in bits and pieces. Still live on Eurosport or the BBC red button (I think.)
I thought they'd stopped and have to come back after the other match finishes?
Maybe I'm wrong, other days BBC have definitely changed to other programming and sent snooker to the red button while Eurosport covered live and I thought the same happened earlier but I've just left Eurosport on.
Yeah, they palm it off to the website or red button.
I'd completely forgotten just how madly epic that Wilson/McGill semi was last year.
Murphy looks like he's finding his way there.
Murphy. :cool:
Incredible comeback, especially to sustain it across multiple sessions.
Yeah, that last session was a bit silly. 100% long pot success whilst reeling off 5 in a row?
Fuck off Selby
+1.
'Mon the Murphy.
Amazing how often Selby gets brain freeze.
Jimmy White and Ronnie aside I don't think I've ever wanted a player to win a final more than I do with Murphy here.
