    Selby's face there was a thing of beauty.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I've got a mental image of Murphy trying in vain to invite Selby to his church during practice.

    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:

    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?"

    He doesn't seem like a bad person just enough of a fanny that I can't really get behind him. Plus it looks like his face was put on before it'd set.

    I swear Selby's snooker becomes more of a ghastly eyesore with every passing year.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    No, BBC only seem to cover it in bits and pieces. Still live on Eurosport or the BBC red button (I think.)

    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, that last session was a bit silly. 100% long pot success whilst reeling off 5 in a row?

    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.
