Is it just Vardy and Danny Simpson of the Leicester City players that have criminal records?

I’m not that we’ll up on the criminal records of leicister players geoff

How ironic that the chairman of Orient could be presenting the trophy to the man from the Orient on Monday night.

Mark Selby has taken the opening frame of the final.

Selby gets the snooker he required on the green to come back from the dead and pinch the second frame on the black. Ding knows what he’s up against now, 2-0 to The Jester.

Ding looks pissed off at that.

Selby gets a snooker to pinch the frame on the black for 2-0. Best and worst of Selby in that frame. He should have won it on his second scoring visit but inexplicably missed an easy pink to the middle.

Ding needs to settle down. He’s already allowing Selby to drag him into a dogfight.

Selby will grind him down

Ding wastes a glorious chance to clear up by missing a simple red, Selby steps in and Ding now needs two snookers or else he’ll be 3-0 behind.

Selby as good as 3-0.

Ding misses a sitter of a red to the corner pocket 43-0 up having done all the work with the balls spread and Selby steps in with a 76 break to leave Ding needing three snookers.

Ding is looking very agitated and really needs to get off the mark or he could end up losing this match first session a bit like Jimmy to John Parrott in 1991.

4-0

A century from Selby sends the Leicester cueman 4-0 up, Ding has to get his act together pronto or this will disappear over the hill.

Selby takes 4-0 with a century.

Ding really needs this mid-session interval to re-group.

5-0

6-0

Smooth as silk from Selby as he goes 6-0 ahead.

Ding makes a balls of that red, Selby will Grind him down now again you’d imagine

Ding looks to have tossed this one away as well after two misses on frame winning last red. Blue his only possible saviour, but Selby looks like stealing it on the black again.

my word, what a miss on the blue from Selby

Selby leaves the blue in the jaws and Ding is off the mark. Selby leads 6-1.

Ding looked like he was going to cry there
