Well, he's just committed GBH on one of the cushions...

Mark Selby is Terry Griffiths, Cliff Thorburn and Peter Ebdon rolled into one

It's the reverse of the last never-ending frame. Is this where Ding can do some psychological damage on Selby?

They are psychologically damaging the audience

Anyone else find Mark Selby's game boring? :sleep:

Here is a prime example of what I was saying yesterday. Selby gets unwarranted grief from some quarters and I don't understand why. He's a superb player. Tactical genius and a great ambassador for the sport. If you can't find tactical frames and snooker setting exciting you need to watch another sport. This fortnight has been enthralling

I find him a really hard player to like.

No. I'm a snooker fan

Thank god, it's finished.


Or is it...

Think again.
Dennis mentioned about a player taking 5 minutes to do a shot in a World semifinal who was that if you don't mind me asking?

Yup - that too

He reminds me of Steve Davis when he was winning everything in the Eighties. His style is just like him, Great safety and good amongst the balls. The complete all round player

Taylor still determined to get a summer stand up season at Blackpool

And he thinks we're blind as he tells us when the ref's warned a punter about their phone, as if we can't just see and hear what happened. It's the Roy Walker school of commentary - "Say what you see".

Taylor's deliberately commentating to the Crucible crowd now - Anything to get a laugh.

It is turgid, uninspiring and turns off fans and sponsors. It isn't going to encourage youngsters to take up the game watching 70 minute frames of snookers. People like Selby kill the sport stone dead.

How people cannot call this a sport I don't know. It must be physically and mentally knackering this. 17 days of this

I appreciate his skill but yep, nothing more than a Cliff Thorburn in disguise imo.

Selby and Ding are in a race to the bottom at the moment. A mistake is being followed by a worse mistake.

Crowd getting restless now

Both players look in a bit of daze.

I think Ding is going to do a Selby

What not crack a smile


Where do people go to when they live in Coventry

I dont know Dennis because i have never been


I think someone needs to go to bed

Wasn't it Ding?

Surely that's the end of it...

Or is it...

Do the Crucble supply the audience with pillows and a blanket

What utter rubbish and a stack of points you cannot substantiate. Show me proof fans and sponsors have been turned off by him and I'll change my mind. He's a credit to the game.
