I'm not the jealous type normally, but I am insanely jealous of anybody watching the Higgins vs Selby, multi-session match tomorrow. I chose the wrong weekend to be away from home.

that was poor planning on your part SF :wink-new:

Gilbert has jumped from #41 to 21 and if he wins could squeeze into the top 16!
what a week for him!

A decent match, and a pretty good attempt at the comeback from Un-Nooh. Unfortunately he missed too many sitters in the first session and in the first three frames of the second session. Black off the spot is not his strongest shot it seems, probably problems with concentration more than anything.

Well done to Gilbert for the biggest win of his career so far. I suspect the final will be one match too many, but you never know in snooker... :smile:

Well done Gilbert, no need to run back to the farm just yet

Seems to have hit a bit of form Gilbert . Done well in his last 2 Tournaments .

Always nice to see different faces in the latter stages of Tournaments .

superb play and grit by David Gilbert to get through to his first final

(regardless of a person in the audience attempting to put him off through out the match - phone, movement, noise - maybe they had a bet on Uh-Nooh going through! ))

some tetchy play by both but understandable being the semi with a lot of money (both their biggest I think) at stake

This Mad Bid advert annoys me.

The postman has no right to ask how the guy can afford his deliveries.

Can anyone explain why the frame didn't continue after Un-Nooh went in off the final black, surely Mark Allen could still have won it after that?

He had already won the frame, the black was irrelevant

Watching the highlights, with a beer.

This Galereux from Lidl was a find. Less than £2.50 for a four,-pack, and it's damn nice stuff.

My diet dies. Again.

Oh well, it wasn't exactly a classic, certainly not compared to some other recent matches between these two. From what we've seen this week, Selby will probably start second favourite against Higgins, but the winner of that semi-final will be a big favourite in the final, because the other two semi-finalists are both debutants at this stage of major events.

I was watching the Higgins match as well, it got a bit scrappy from 4-0 onwards, but Higgins did enough to go through. Nice pot on that final pink. :smile:

Coral have Selby as favourite which tbh was what I expected,I kind of go with their thinking too.

It can vary to be honest and not all matches are featured.

For example the Allen v Un-Nooh match was uploaded about 1 hour ago.

cheers for that, how quickly do the frames tend to appear after real-time?
