@Dark Soldier how’s the edible gone down with this top snooker mate
I fell asleep for the last frame but up to that point, engrossed.Originally Posted by 7om
Quite looking forward to this final. If it goes the way we all fear then it'll be horrible, but if it doesn't then it'll be an absolute cracker.
Selby's firmware needs an update, that smile was a bit Arnie in T2.
Not content with the Triple Crown nonsense, do we now have a hall of fame?
That was such a bad safety shot from Luca.Bring it on.
Google tells me the Snooker Hall of Fame was founded in 2011, and I was pondering when I was reminded of the Premier League one recently whether we're all a bit too cynical to try and start something like from scratch in this day and age. Or whether it just feels like too American a concept for us (compared to cricket say where individual grounds have their own ways of charting memorable performances.) The NFL Hall of Fame is a thing people actually care about but it also started 60 years ago when there was possibly a bit more earnestness about the whole affair and now it's just a thing that's been there, to most people, as good as forever.
Well that was a pretty emphatic start.
I do believe the beautiful bald Belgian bastard has Selby a touch rattled here.
Well, this is delightful. I'm sure the depressed from Leicester will come back at some stage, but for now I'm loving it.
Thr molester from leicester struggling here. I wonder if he shouts 147 when he cums.
There's no sight in sport like Mark Selby playing on with four snookers required.
That shot Luca Brecel just played - I've never seen anything like it.
I couldn't believe it, it was like a sort of nine ball exhibition shot.
Selby defo dips his balls in his missus' mouth screaming 'maximum break'
Was excellent in every area while maintaining his lunatic attacking style. Astonishing performance.
Some outrageous pots from Brecel here. His confidence must be sky high.
And so begins the boring one grinding Brecel down.
Enjoying the crowd being fiercely pro-Brecel. Hopefully someone sacrifices their seat to shout some verbals and trigger a mental breakdown.
The front row of seats has been consistently empty through the latter stages. Are they prohibitively expensive or something? Every other seat seems full.
I was wondering that too. Maybe corporate seats and no one bothers to turn up to those until the final day/session?
I had a look for tickets to the final and couldn't see much available at all, so I'm with Boyd and going for corporate types flanging out.
It looks like there's people in those seats now?
"I was in a final here a few years ago you know"
Fuck off Shaun.
He’s boring as fuck but this is one of the greatest 147s.
That was never in doubt from start to finish. What a final.
Fair play to the boring cunt.
Script writers have been in overdrive across the sports today.
Great scenes.
Shithouse Selby with the crowd pop. Amazing.
Went downstairs for about 20 minutes, came back to the crowd going mental .Lovely stuff.
Thought that was the last frame of the session the way Selby was hyping the crowd.
Wouldn't put it past Selby to have deliberately failed to clear up there to have nice half hour of grinding here.
The pockets are huge on this table. That brown would never have dropped on a club table, even the good ones.
The red down the line earlier as well.
Selby showboating with full length doubles now, whatever next?
It's Star I think, they make shitty snooker tables.
This has got Brecel coming out tomorrow, missing some outrageous attempts and getting ground to death written all over it.
I feel like for Brecel to have played this well and only be one frame in front will get to him.
Hard to see Selby being stopped from here.
BBC have no latest score or any reference to it at all on their whole sport front page.
We’ve chastised the TV schedule this year but the website is even worse. Often there was no live page and recap articles were littered with errors (wrong scores and spelling mistakes). Compare that to the WSL which gets shoved down our throats on there. So I checked viewing figures of both.
The snooker on BBC2 last weekend peaked at 1.4m viewers (before getting punted to BBC4, then iPlayer), whilst the WSL brings in a lofty 500k per live match.
The BBC coverage of it is poor however it's currently the main story on the sport page when I go to it.
It’s appeared on the world version now, 12th.
Rough old shot to get started from Brecel there. Might be enough around the cushions to stop Selby putting away the frame but probably enough for him to get a healthy start here.
Well I'm glad that didn't go the way I feared. Very good from Brecel.
And then that fluke.
This is some insane snooker.
The lads on fire right now. Where has he pulled this from?
He probably doesn't feel pressure as Belgium is such a nothing country. What does it actually offer bar a failing national football team, overrated chocolate, mayo with fries and Poirot?
Fuel for the wife beaters of Northern England to smack their missus about.
I thought this started at 14.00. Slightly annoying.
Those first 4 frames were about as good as it gets.
Selbys done well to make it his kind of match at the minute. Properly ground the momentum out of Brecel.
