Wouldn't like to see him stabbed though.

lol at this progression
Trump is great. People mentioned Jimmy White because of some of the huge cue power (and exuberance by putting it on show often) and I'd agree.― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 30 April 2011 19:24 (nine years ago) bookmarkflaglink

Glad Trump is out - the hype around him when he first 'broke through' was embarrassing.― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 1 May 2014 09:22 (six years ago) bookmarkflaglink

there then followed something of a begrudging gesture towards support last year when 'anyone but Higgins' had to trump 'anyone but Trump'

Ronnie makes it 8-8 I see on the live score ticker? Sweet, looking forward to tonight.
― Monte Scampino (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 11 August 2020 15:50 (four years ago) link
8-8 after a nervous frame from both.

lockdown and covid makes this feel like a selby year ngl

Ronnie a tad unlucky but Williams took his chance well
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 18:23 (four years ago) link
Fucking fucked at the next. Loads of easy missed chances but Ronnie wins out
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 18:35 (four years ago) link
What a costly miss by Ronnie..
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 18:50 (four years ago) link
Ronnie recovered well for a century break. All square.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 19:06 (four years ago) link
Ronnie is ahead...just terrific safety after a 60 break to get another chance
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 19:38 (four years ago) link
How far behind was Ronnie this afternoon? Looks comfortable now.
― Eyeball Kicks, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 19:39 (four years ago) link
Maybe not.

Fuck me this frame
haha what
I turned it off after he put the green in, thinking that's that

See Selby has yet to make a century and while he can do a lot with his tactical game he'll also need to score heavy if Ronnie is on his game.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 21:18 (four years ago) link
Selby can't get going rn.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 12 August 2020 18:54 (four years ago) link
I missed most of the first two frames. Commentators are talking about the number of kicks. Selby got a nasty one just now
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 12 August 2020 18:58 (four years ago) link
Ronnie gets one too..it might need looking at.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 12 August 2020 19:01 (four years ago) link
Kick after kick after kick. Selby esp looks nervous though, even before those
― Monte Scampino (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 12 August 2020 19:04 (four years ago) link
Yup. Ronnie has been frustrated too but has managed more of a rhythm. 3-1
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 12 August 2020 19:26 (four years ago) link
That's the story. Selby had some really bad misses without a kick, too. He looks really on edge.
― Monte Scampino (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 12 August 2020 19:28 (four years ago) link
4-1. Selby missed a green off the spot, Ronnie made two 50+ breaks. A dangerous moment here.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 12 August 2020 19:57 (four years ago) link
Selby played one good frame, the last one, yet is only two down.
― Monte Scampino (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 12 August 2020 21:20 (four years ago) link
Good to see Wilson got his mojo back
― Monte Scampino (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 13 August 2020 11:46 (four years ago) link
I think Selby got into the match in the penultimate frame last night. That was also good but yes he should've been 6-2 down.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 11:55 (four years ago) link
Ronnie got the mother of all kicks. Didn't leave anything tho'.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 13:52 (four years ago) link
Am not watching now, but any thoughts on the reason for all these kicks? I don't buy the 'humidity' thing, hasn't there been a heatwave all week in Sheffield? Why are there kicks only last night and now?
― Monte Scampino (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 13 August 2020 14:03 (four years ago) link
Well there was a change of balls between the first and second session and tbh that was the only kick in the frame.
It led to a half hour frame, Selby eventually strangles out a win and that's just how he likes it.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 14:07 (four years ago) link
At the next Selby plays an attacking safety. Selby now in and the question is on his scoring, should win the frame in one visit.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 14:12 (four years ago) link
Yup does it. 97 break, 5-5.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 14:20 (four years ago) link
the narrative requires this to be an o'sullivan-wilson final
― imago, Thursday, 13 August 2020 14:35 (four years ago) link
Awesome long pot from Selby to get the lead. O'Sullivan all over the shop, he had the first chance but tried to force it on a first visit.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 14:36 (four years ago) link
Selby is strangling Ronnie's game.

― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 14:38 (four years ago) link
Good starter from Ronnie, but he then kisses the blue after the green, the misses the red. His timing is gone.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 14:40 (four years ago) link
Selby has won the last five frames.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 14:49 (four years ago) link
Damage limitation is the name of the game. 2-2 would be good but just from the first few exchanges that's looking optimistic, let's see.
