I have a ton of admiration for it, he is doing it with far more flair than Graeme Dott. Really getting Ronnie in all sorts of bother.
You also know Selby is capable of scoring real heavy, but he hasn't been able to so he has a very strong plan B. Almost as good as a plan A.

Ronnie tried bullying him, century in the first frame of the session and Selby just came back at him real hard. Faultless match play and Ronnie looks defeated already.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2014 19:52 (ten years ago) link
Quick frame, to Ronnie's tastes: 15 - 13.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2014 20:03 (ten years ago) link
what a fkn break: 15 - 14
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2014 20:27 (ten years ago) link
He made up for that missed pink with a top yellow.
this is gr8 stuff now
― imago, Monday, 5 May 2014 20:29 (ten years ago) link
yeah really enjoying this, I think it will go to the wire
― Angkor Waht (Neil S), Monday, 5 May 2014 20:31 (ten years ago) link
Great response from Selby: wins it in one visit. 16 - 14.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2014 20:36 (ten years ago) link
He's getting stronger: 17 - 14. Incredible!
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2014 20:52 (ten years ago) link
so much for it going to the wire, Ronnie is looking shot
― Angkor Waht (Neil S), Monday, 5 May 2014 20:53 (ten years ago) link
He has since before the break. Just saw that, thought it lost then.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2014 20:54 (ten years ago) link
Stunning long red from Ronnie, feels like a last hurrah!
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2014 20:55 (ten years ago) link
Ronnie is getting down quick - terrific 57 break, some genius in despair.

Selby now: yellow to green
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2014 21:15 (ten years ago) link
Green to brown.
Terrific!
Now its blue to pink w/the rest
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2014 21:16 (ten years ago) link
Settle down now, thank you!
― StanM, Monday, 5 May 2014 21:16 (ten years ago) link
wow
― Angkor Waht (Neil S), Monday, 5 May 2014 21:17 (ten years ago) link
Awesome clearance.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2014 21:17 (ten years ago) link
hendry's record's safe
― ^ 諷刺 (ken c), Monday, 5 May 2014 21:18 (ten years ago) link
It was going to be safe even after today, didn't think he'd ever get near it (thought he'd win four...)
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2014 21:21 (ten years ago) link
Anyway, he probably should've won this by now. Only Higgins was more 'granite' to deny him, and that clearance was the best to win the final since I think Higgins himself since Trump, but I might be recalling it wrong..
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2014 21:25 (ten years ago) link
Looking back, match of the tournament, imho: Robertson v Selby
― StanM, Monday, 5 May 2014 21:26 (ten years ago) link
Some good tight stuff already: Selby taken to the brink on day one.
Now Ronnie, first frame on a max..
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 21 April 2015 13:55 (nine years ago) link
That was a tough chance, gets a century instead.
Asked the ref what the money was..;-)
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 21 April 2015 13:58 (nine years ago) link
The guys in the studio are amazed that Ronnie is playing in his socks.

Had forgotten how much I love watching this when I'm in the right mood.
Alan McManus looks like a dude with some dark secrets.

Scottish players in general aren't to be messed with apart from Maguire, his record is appalling.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 21 April 2015 19:32 (nine years ago) link
LOL @ Ding forgetting he was on a 147.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 21 April 2015 19:33 (nine years ago) link
Stevens has just annihilated Williams 10-2.
Can't wait for the match w/Ronnie.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 22 April 2015 14:35 (nine years ago) link
saw some of mcgill earlier, serious serious player
carrington too but maybe a little less so
― carles the jekyll (imago), Friday, 24 April 2015 20:32 (nine years ago) link
Ding started badly in both of his first two matches. as turned one around and now another, except this is against Higgins. One away.
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 25 April 2015 10:43 (nine years ago) link
Higgins just holding on here
― Keith Moom (Neil S), Saturday, 25 April 2015 11:06 (nine years ago) link
wtf @ this frame. Ding had the match at his mercy then a bad contact. Higgins wins on the last black - still 12-9 down.
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 25 April 2015 11:07 (nine years ago) link
ok Ding has missed a fkn sitter...
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 25 April 2015 11:10 (nine years ago) link
one more chance Ding - keeping nerves steady time, talking about myself here
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 25 April 2015 11:13 (nine years ago) link
ok that was good torture on sat morning.
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 25 April 2015 11:35 (nine years ago) link
classic stuff on sat night from both ronnie and stevens.
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 25 April 2015 19:10 (nine years ago) link
2-0 down, now 3-2 up - great response by Ronnie.
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 25 April 2015 19:51 (nine years ago) link
mcgill - murphy is a classic in the making

Should've been done years ago. tick.jpg
Saw highlights only - Bingham was excellent. Ronnie looked totally under the cosh.
Anyone but Trump. Would've fancied Robertson to beat him but he's out after a tight match last night.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 30 April 2015 09:06 (nine years ago) link
Hawkins scores really well for someone who runs out of position every three shots.

loving that facebook page.
the other day there were a bunch of fans in the audience wearing t-shirts with a caricature, and the phrase itself.
