[Neil Taperell]

What a blue that was by Barry ....a stunner .

I know everyone has to learn, but I could certainly live without Jack in the commentary box.

Was just about to post the very same. It's all a bit paint by numbers whenever he speaks.

Watching the replay in the excitement, I nearly forgot Willo had a shocking fluke on red to middle. The snooker god's have Thier ways of intervening!

[Billy]

I switched on towards the end of that decider (with the red and black over the pocket, looked at the score and started celebrating MW win!

Can’t believe he lost that

[Odrl]

That's the one where he played it from distance.

[Odrl]

Right. I don't think Williams ever had it straight anyway. He was always coming at it from an angle.

[Cue crafty]

LOL we're at it again with the mind melding CC.

Wow scary Pat!!

Enjoyed the after match chat on Eurosport and the guys saying about how that match result will hurt Willo, but he only has to remember his epic with Hendry when Stephen missed the deciding black to centre and Mark won to realise this game has a way of leveling things up. You win some epics and you lose some!!

That was a pretty epic frame of snooker, reminded me a bit of that frame between King and Hawkins in the 2016 Northern Ireland Open final.

I guess Williams didn't really deserve to win it in the end. Giving away foul points is one thing, but he had a couple of pot attempts at the last red as well and got nowhere near. Should have potted the second one really. And he did have that fluke earlier in the frame as well.

One thing I was wondering... I can't quite picture the physics of it, but when the red was on top of the black, in line with the pocket, was it possible for Williams to play it in a way that would have guaranteed the red following the black in? If so, that seemed like the shot to play. It would have taken 8 points off the table, so Robertson would have had to play for two snookers on the colours.

Don't think that would have worked, think of a newton's cradle. Maybe if you put loads of top spin on the white but it would need to be dead straight.

No wouldn't be possible that shot Odrl, same principal as a Newton's cradle all the energy is transferred into the next ball.

AND Breathe!!!
what a match

Amazing match Dean, possibly better than the one we were privileged to watch there yesterday. But this kind of match is what has made snooker popular over the years, such great drama.

[MrRottweiler]

You did say that Hendry was saying it to **** off Selby.

How does that mean I was suggesting Selby's mental health problems arise from Hendry saying Trump is the best player in the world?
