Can the audience see the live BBC feed on the monitors above the table?

I'll be generous and say he made a very bad decision in a high pressure situation
I agree, he did


I am not defending him because what he did was wrong and indefensible. What i am questioning is the labelling of him as a cheat.

So the answer to this question

Which is the only World Championship final at the Crucible, that did not feature a century break been made
It was the Steve Davis Dennis Taylor final where there was no century break in the final, so well done on whoever got it right


So here is Question four


Who two players competed in the last ever Third place play off, and what was the year

You have to think Selby will hold it together better and get the important shots in, like he usually does at the end of tight matches.

Fantastic game of snooker. Unfortunately the presenters have already described the first semi-final as "a Crucible classic" so they will have to find a different stock phrase to describe this one!

The refs are bloody good aren't they ? I don't think I can recall seeing play held up whilst one of them went for a 'comfort break'

I can still see Selby winning this as he is a great match player

One of them was steady Eddie Charlton, and possibly 1977??

I believe so yes, without all the graphics etc, just the table and action

Well Ding has played 3 matches more

Just asking as both times they showed the repeat of Marco touching the red on that shot, they immediately showed a close up of Marco, he looked at the camera in a shifty fashion and seemed to be endeavouring to cover his embarrassment.

I was willing him to call a foul on himself but by hen it was far too late.

Thanks for your reply Darren.

How many millions would be watching Fu v Ding if that is the final?

The way this match is going is that whoever wins this frame, the other player wins the next one. So Mark Selby will win this match by one frame

I am tiring of dear old Dennis Taylor as lead commentator.

It was like a breath of fresh air when we had Ebbo, Hendry and Davis last week, with their total command of the game and what the modern day player is thinking.

Alas I'm finding hese two tedious ....... and Dennis seems to have been on all day. Why?

I wonder why they got rid of Ebdon, is it because he could not stop talking

Whats happened to ebbo? Thought he did ok. I do like hendry and davis. 2 of greatest players to ever play the game so they know what they're talking about. Parrott is good too.

That's what I mean, whoever wins this will be fine too I think. Ding has played 3 extra best of 19 matches and he still looks good. And as TC showed earlier the stats show that the winner of the first semi final hasn't statistically done better really. Having said that if its Selby I reckon he will cope a hell of a lot better than Marco would.

Who needs Ronnie, Judd and Robertson to have a great championship. It has been quite refreshing to have different players in the semi finals

Calm down Selby, no need to go assaulting the table.
