It's great, I could watch this all night.

I even switched back over to the shite home alone bit of Skyfall it's that bad.Originally Posted by Disco
I'm loving it too.
Hot lights, a crowd of predominantly older people, I'd love to know what proportion are asleep.
Finally. Selby had enough chances too.
Keep playing Mark.
hate it when the cunty commentators can't resist making a stupid little joke when the players are about to take their shot, cus the twats with the headsets can never resist laughing. just fucking wait a second dickhead.
Don't get your hopes up.
During this frame alone you could have watch Ronnie's record 147 nine times.
These banners in the crowd need to fuck off.
Did you see the ref giving the commentary position the stink eye?
I love this stuff as much as the next man, but continuing to play when you need two snookers on the pink (even if you're capable of getting them) really is deviant behaviour.
I did, it was glorious.
I'm sure I remember watching the record longest frame at the Crucible. I think it was Walden v Hawkins or similar. I'm sure Walden was involved anyway.
That dreadful semi-final from 2013?
Was the longest not the other day?
I watched the new longest one yesterday, that was great too.
Having looked it up the actual record was from Selby v Fu the other night, which beat King and Maguire from 2009. I've definitely watched a Walden one well over an hour though. Probably in 2014 as I was unemployed in April that year and probably watched the whole tournament.
EDIT: Ricky Walden v Kyren Wilson that year.
How is that we've been to the moon but we can't get it together to work out what causes those kicks.
science or some shit
Should they not have stopped at 16 frames?
You'd see better play down the pub on a Friday night.
I think Selby genuinely was falling asleep when he had his eyes shut a second ago. He looks fucking shattered.
Yeah, he's shattered.
After the shit Selby pulled earlier I'd be playing for snookers until the black if I was Ding.
The commentators' shit jokes and the crowd dickheads with the headsets laughing were really getting on my tits.
They should get rid of those headsets.
Ah, Jimmy and his stands against the immediacy of modern life.
Not too bad for Ding, although could have been better.
It annoys me how often they have the white ball cleaned. That's what probably causes all the kicks. Building up static on the white or something from all the rubbing. They seem to have increased in relative proportion. Was the white ball cleaned at all in O'Sullivan's speed record 147?
How would static cause kicks (genuine question)?
I reckon it's the excessive chalking of the cue - and that chalk transferring to the white ball, meaning contact points aren't smooth.
Absolutely no idea. I just don't like cleaning the white after every shot.
What's with the phones too? Seemed to be a lot worse than I've seen before.
Anyone with one or the first peep from one should be out the door no questions asked, and not let back in until next year if they buy tickets.
This is turning into a cracking final. I have about £700 on Ding now though which is tempering it somewhat.
Selby has fucked this the twat.
I went to bed at 11 last night with the score at 8-7. I can't believe they had them play another 2 frames.
Ding has done well to come back into this but I still fancy Selby to win. He just doesn't know when he's beat and has already taken at least 2 frames just in this match from pulling it out the bag.
This frame, man.
Selbz losing his shit with the kicks.
Jesus, he took far too long over that pink and made some shit of it.
Though that's a nice recovery. Should be that.
Ding has given away an embarrassing number of frames in this. He would never have made that black himself.
Some good stuff from Ding in this frame.
Davis has to be my favourite sportsman of all time. Legend.
Ding showing some fight. Giving that 6-0 start I feel is too much for him to claw back now.
Getting close only makes binning so many winnable frames worse.
All going wrong for the city of Leicester at the moment though . . .
In a best of 35 it really doesn't work that way.
Obviously losing the first 6 isn't great, but in a match that long there are always spells when one player will win 4,5 or 6 frames in a row.
Dennis Taylor came back from 8-0 down to beat Davis in 85, Hendry won 10 in a row to beat White 18-14 and Selby himself came back from miles behind against Ronnie when he won his maiden title.
I'd still have Selby to win, not because of the 6-0 start, but because he's the best match player ever to play the game and he'll no doubt grind the shit out of it if Ding gets any closer.
I'm watching this, drinking tea and eating digestives. I'm feeling proper nostalgic for when I was about eight and would always watch the snooker at either of my grans' houses.
The reason I say it's too much to give up is because it is Selby. Every time Ding has moved within one frame so far, Selby turns it on and moves clear again. Ding will need a big break here to get some momentum going.
I agree, but that's nothing to do with losing the first six frames.
He himself then won seven of the next nine anyway.
I used to watch it with my Grandad eating things like jam tart (a proper big one you slice up) or junket.
Held the nerve well there. I'd watched the second half of Masterchef and missed fuck all.
"Don't be the idiot that spoils this."
Never mind throwing them out actually, these cunts with the phones need a fucking slap.
Does Selby always look so pissed off when he wins?
