    Oh and much like happened with Ray Reardon, Dr Steve Peters has now done all he can.

    Also ronnie o Sullivan getting away with being a thick petulant spastic cus he's class sorta reminds me of the classic incel whine that the difference between a big romantic gesture being seen as creepy or otherwise being entirely dependent on the appearance of the person making it.

    I actually think O'Sullivan's stupidity is underrated somewhat.

    I believe he's the only true genius currently operating in sport, and I'm not sure I've seen many more in my lifetime (maybe Warne, that's all I can think of).

    Oh yea he's untouchable in snooker terms, but i think people give him far too much credit as a bloke.

    He's only ever one magical red from winning a frame, or one half decent Selby safety from losing it. In many ways it's absolutely the right strategy for him.

    Federer counts. I might, might put Marquez in that bracket if he hasn't ruined his arm for life.

    You'd be getting concerned if you were Selby.

    Now I've said that he'll no doubt shit his way to the win.

    Even missing that pointless long red at the end could throw him off, it's amazing stuff to watch.

    It was huge for him to win that 32nd frame without getting bogged down in a shit off at the end.

    He didn't need that red out and that pocket has been his nemesis all game.

    Yeah, I thought he was trying to get round the back of it when I saw the white ball go near it, but before he played the shot I didn't think for one minute that it was a particularly difficult positional one to pull off, so not sure why he was anywhere near it.

    Three reds in the open, he could have played on all of them and just walked out for there the winner. He's mad.

    That was a ridiculous shot there by Selby.

    Ronnie. If that's a snooker.

    He can't beat him by out tactic-ing him so I can sort of see the logic in it.

    Those last two shots.

    Wilson needs to get off to a hot start, which isn't impossible.

    Selby would crush him. With O'Sullivan you never know but he's probably about as keen on winning it as he can be now.

    He's been properly sandbagging the whole tournament. Keep it tight by being daft through the early sessions and then just turn up and clean house when it matters. As if that much thought goes into it.

    He's probably got some form of mental illness, but he is a genius, there's no doubt about that.

    I've been watching snooker for over 30 years now and I've never seen anything like those final 3 frames. Missed one ball, potted two ridiculous long reds, a total clearance, won another frame one in one visit, an unbelievable escape from a snooker and all after not playing that well and against one of the toughest, if not the toughest competitor the game has ever seen.

    He's played better for longer in matches before, but given the circumstances, that's as good as it gets.

    It's not disrespectful. I thought it was a legitimate strategy to throw Selby off, which it seems to have done.

    O'Sullivan getting into Selby's head (and forcing this chimp out) is some sort of 8D chess.

    Exactly. Ronnie doesn't piss and moan about Selby taking 90 seconds over routine safety shots at times.
