Redcafe Snooker

Yeah he's in one of those moods right now. I don't even think Selby himself was overly great there: he missed plenty and played plenty of loose safeties, but O'Sullivan really was poor.
 
Never seen so many flukey snookers. And that pink...
 
I've never seen a player have more luck than Selby has been having. It's unbelievable.

Still can't believe Ronnie missed that pink either.

Ronnie messing up shots like that which me or you could pot isn't luck, it's just poor play from O'Sullivan.
 
Ronnie needs a big performance like that against Joe Perry earlier in the tournament. Putting my dislike for Mark Selby aside he did what he had to do that session, it wasn't pretty.. in fact it was dire to watch at time for he knows he has got in to Ronnie's head. Still believe this match has a lot to happen, just hope tonight we see Ronnie try to impose he's own game instead of getting drawn in to long, tactical frames that suit Mark best.
 
He's on about some of the snookers Selby is getting when missing pots. Not Ronnie missing.

Suppose he's got a point there, although he doesn't deserve to not be ahead after that to be honest.

Thought he wasn't that good yesterday too, he couldn't seem to tame the cue ball then too. Always seems to be out of position, and that first frame today completely threw him off.
 
Just can't believe what I've just seen there. An hour long frame and all you have to do is roll the pink in and you're 12-11 up. Why is he trying to get on the black? I just can't comprehend it, unless as they said he's misred the scoreboard.
 
Selby massive favourite for me now. Ronnie's head is completely gone and I've rarely seen him win games when that happens. There's a lot of drama here, which I suppose is nice in a final, but it's absolutely dire snooker.
 
Did they talk to Ronnie after? Did he give any indication of what he was thinking about on the pink?
 
Ronnie will still do him. If flukemeister gets two or three frames ahead he will turn it on, which he should do anyway in this evenings session.
 
Excellent response from O'Sullivan.
 
Fantastic century from the rocket, that shot with the rest through the bunch was superb
 
Can't remember last time I saw someone with such a lack of positional play but always ends up on getting away with it..

edit: until then.
 
Selby is a lucky bastard, no doubt about it, that frame where Ronnie ballsed that pink up was ridiculous for the amount of unintentional snookers he ended up with.
 
Did he play for that? He certainly didn't apologize which suggests he did but even still.
 
Jesus Christ, they say you make your own luck but this guy seems to get more than most.
 
Credit to Selby for his safety play, he's going to win this. He's had quite a bit of the luck go his way too.

It's been a shit final for the spectators.
