Lol re-spotted black

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

Nah missed the blue

Ronnie does it

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.

This is goo
― 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.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 15:14 (four years ago) link
Selby made a bad, bad error. Ronnie finally takes a chance to win the frame.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 15:20 (four years ago) link
They share the next two, well done Ronnie. Last frame not that important.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 15:53 (four years ago) link
Selby plays snooker with a massive Tory vibe sorry— Your Mum says Black Lives Matter (@judeinlondon2) August 13, 2020
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 15:54 (four years ago) link
Huge slice of fortune from Selby who totally screwed up, should've left the frame
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 15:58 (four years ago) link
This semi is really pretty bad, but I can enjoy bad snooker
― Monte Scampino (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 13 August 2020 16:02 (four years ago) link
Haven't had a century yet, so it's Selby's to lose.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 16:11 (four years ago) link
Has a qualifier ever reached the final in the modern era?
― Monte Scampino (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 13 August 2020 18:36 (four years ago) link
Don't know myself. As I switch Wilson has just gone ahead with a century.
Three left this evening
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 20:24 (four years ago) link
13-11. Two centuries and a 50. McGill had a good chance but let that go. Looks like it's going one way.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 21:21 (four years ago) link
Sorry 13-10
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 21:22 (four years ago) link
McGill answered with one session snooker at the end. 13-11
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 21:30 (four years ago) link
just realised, are they piping in the applause from the 'knowledgable crucible crowd'(TM)
― ||||||||, Thursday, 13 August 2020 21:33 (four years ago) link
They sure are 😂😂😂
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 22:07 (four years ago) link
I'd like to know who presses the button. Like Jimmy White said, lots of applause at the 'wrong' moments.
― Monte Scampino (Le Bateau Ivre), Friday, 14 August 2020 06:15 (four years ago) link
So much to say about this button seriously. I've been constantly laughing at it.
