    Yeah they are part of corporate too so sometimes the front few rows are empty because the rich folk who bought them cannot be bothered to leave corporate to go back and watch.

    Selby playing on this afternoon needing 4 snookers, 100% is right to do so but it's pure gamesmanship.

    Given Isted kept the score down in first half and was blameless for the goals I’ll go for him

    Brilliant from the Belgie, 6-2 ahead. :)
    But will it be enough when Selby keeps on playing his loathsome style of snooker.

    Selby maybe lacked some pre match shut-eye after finishing around quarter to one this morning.

    Yeah I thought that, so now we're blaming Isted for the way Selby plays are we lol. You know who is going to get another 3 match ban for this don't you, and that's also Isted's fault. :p

    I really enjoyed that piece they just did with Cliff Thorburn, about him doing the first ever maximum 147 break at the World's.
    Way back in '83, and he was playing Terry Griffiths in that match lol. And big Bill Werbenik came over from the other table and gave him a Canadian bear hug. :)
    Was it really 40 years ago!!.

    Not good that your mate has to share the pot. What a superb break and history making too being the first of the 14 Crucible 147s to happen in a final. Only the second time after O Sullivan and Carter in 2008 that two have happened at the same event....

    Don't think Kyren will mind @dreamboy3000 . Plenty of time for him to do it in a final too!

    The way Selby is paying so far is a lot better nit just to watch but for him too. He knows Brecel will attack so it's making Selby go for things and look what he is capable of.

    Selby was even money when losing by three frames. Hopefully he gets across the line later. He gets stick even though he is second or two quicker per shot than Allen.
