Post match interview in the studio anyone please?

[Tim65]

Selby chickened out when he could have taken him down and the table has turned.

Absolute drivel.

[PatBlock]

Swings and roundabouts both had their fair share of luck....

Yep, can't argue with that, best player won.

The straight(ish) yellowand holding for the Black seemed to be the shot?

The flukes canceled themselves out, imho .

[Billy]

Bizarre but very entertaining final frame. Was that fluked red what's known as karma for the fluked snooker?

[blahblah01]

Psychic?

Judd to get complacent this evening?

I wouldn't say complacent necessarily - although that's a distinct possibility - more likely the expectation for him to win will pile on the pressure... and he ain't the best under pressure, is he?

Unfortunately, as grateful as I am to Quest for staying with the Selby O'sullivan match, I won't be able to watch Judd's game.

of course

Ronnie would not refuse that and this is the difference between them

[sanman]

Yeah he lucked 100 finals and almost a 1000 century breaks and about 60 odd titles. As for whining thats his nature. But he is the reason most people watch snooker. Nit to be friends with him but for his entertainment value

Quest is showing the 2nd semi final too.

That's the way I saw it also, a world number one turning down a straight yellow that if missed would have left it safe anyway, Ronnie wouldn't have that's for sure.
You take your chances when they arrive, Selby decided to use the miss rule to leave Ronnie needing snookers and it came unstuck, a lesson learned I hope.

Transmission on Quest will finish at 9pm though even if the match isn't over.

I read this just in time. Thanks very much.

Not ness. They scrapped the schedule to stay with the O'Sullivan match this affy.

At the time I thought Selby deserved it, and nothing has changed my mind. But then I think the Pro's have the balls put back far too often as it rarely really pays off and can lead to fluked snookers or pots.
