    Ronnie O' hammered Vafei 13-2, so what an absolute non event this so called grudge match turned out to be. Maybe Vafei needs to learn to keep it shut a bit more in future, until he can actually back it up with a good performance.
    And Jak Jones did very well to beat Neil Robertson, and although hes an Aussie lol, that's another left hander gone out!.
    Those two join Mark Allen & Luca Brecel in the Qtr finals.

    Don't think Ronnie would have been quite so magnanimous if he'd lost!

    Yeah he can get annoyingly tetchy can Ronnie, when its not going his way.
    And speaking of annoying, I'm guessing that Selby is one of the main favourites now.

    I love my snooker but good grief Selby matches are hard to watch aren’t they?

    More excitement watching Terry Griffiths back in the day.

    Just mentioned on Eurosport a good few have left the crucible tonight already and there’s three frames left!

    It bugs me when they call him the jester from Leicester.
    Well he's not, he's actually a dour character, who rarely looks like he's enjoying the game.

    Just an easy nickname because it rhymes.

    It’s only a shame he’s not from Shat, Cheshunt or Sri Lanka

    They made the mistake of calling Cliff Thorburn the grinder, it really should have been Terry the grinder Griffiths lol.
    Didn't they once have a match at the crucible, and it went on very late past midnight. The fans were all getting their pyjamas and sleeping bags out. :D

    Selby is not good for attracting people to the game.

    Travelling back to Barnsley now thanks @dreamboy3000 . Would have topped the day off if Jack had got his 147! You can see how Mark Selby breaks his opponents down , Gary Wilson was matching him at the start and Selby was relentless to extend his lead further at the end of the session.

    Higgins playing like he's back in his 20s again. Selby isn't good to watch, but is one of the best ever.

    Selby is awful to watch. Good luck to him he is one hell of a player and has shown great courage with his mental health issues. Unfortunately if I see he is playing I don't watch. If he makes the semis I won't be watching that one. If he makes the final I won't be watching that either. It's painful viewing.

    Hey Halan, at least you got Kyran Wilson's autograph didn't you ?. :rolleyes:
    What a shame him going 8-0 behind, there's no way he's going to turn that around. And all this after the amazing 147 break this week.
    So its looking like Higgins, and Selby, and McGill into the Qtr finals.

    No, I didn't but I already have one! Saw his lads walking to the crucible with their mum though. I did get my photo with Mark Selby though!
