    This Selby - Fu match has been a total disgrace all the way through. When one of them wakes up they'll win 8 frames on the trot.

    That Ding century they replayed was brilliant, given the amount of mistakes these two are making you have to fancy him to win it.

    Why is the crowd so keen to applaud every single shot? Turning into a Wimbledon-esque atmosphere.

    And there should be no mercy for those twats who can't keep their phones on silent. I think there's been four instances of one going off so far this evening.

    It's mental isn't it, you;d think when one went off you'd check yours just to be sure. If only to avoid what must be the soul crushing embarrassment of having yours start ringing or something.

    He needs to keep up his end of the bargain. We're likely to win the league, the basketball team has won the league and cup, and he can win the world title. Even the cricket team look a bit better than shit. Tigers aren't winning the play offs so they can bollocks. We need a new SPORTING CAPITAL statue in the city centre.

    Looked to my inexpert eye like Ding massively overthought that.

    Him and Virgo have become unbearable to me. Proper light bulb moment today when I remembered I had access to Eurosport.

    Does that old lady sitting behind the players have some sort of lifetime claim on that seat? She's always in it.

    It would be good if Ding could at least get into a winning position to massively bottle things from (inevitable) rather than just doing it from the outset.

    The way things are going, the Selbster and Leicester could win at almost the same moment tomorrow.

    Has Ding had an easy run or is he just bottling the fuck out of this?

    He's been on fire until now. Major bottle job here.

    Jesus I just checked the score there and expected to see 10-1 or something by the talk here.
    4-0 in a best of 35

    Feel like I'm watching Selby vs Hamza Akbar in the round of 128 here, to be honest.

    It'll be 18-0 to Selby if Ding continues like he is.

    In a best of 35 there's bound to come a time when Ding strings some frames together. 5-0 is nothing.

    Ding is a known bottle, remember him almost crying versus Ronnie a while back? This is no surprise.

    5-0 and Ding hadn't potted a ball in over 200 points.

    Oh I'm not saying he's going to win or anything, and he's been mentally broken since Ronnie did that to him, but talk of 18-0 or even losing with a session to spare (at this stage) is premature.

    Potted a ball in over 200 points.

    That's a new one.

    Has Selby even played well in any of this? Everytime I flick over he seems to be missing something or Ding is (was) ostensibly in.

    Hopefully he can build on that shot.

    That miscue from Selby is something you don't see often with the pros. Something I usually end up doing.

    I can't warm to Ding. He just has the demeanour of a deviant. I reckon he's wearing stockings and suspenders under his trousers. Rubbing himself up against the table when there's an awkward pot on.

    If this was twenty years ago and the plot of a film he would be the emotionless communist automaton.

    The Selbster is way too tough to lose this.

    Love his fellow townsman Willie Thorne laying into 'the likes of Trump and Murphy' there.

    I don't think a single one of Ken Dohertys examples on the practice table of what player x 'should have done' has actually come off.

    I really should start putting money on this shit. I could have made a fortune from this match buying and selling both players, a fucking fortune.

    I find these frames where it goes on for half an hour behind snookers strangely fascinating.

    He needed snookers so the miss rule didn't apply.

    They just get to the stage, as this one now has, that you just want to see someone fuck it up and get us on to the next frame.

    I'm the opposite, I want it to continue for as long as possible. The nuggety Mark Selby needing snookers battle stands against the immediacy of modern life.
