[QUOTE=“mickee321, post: 940607, member: 367”]some fine football jersies on display @Sidney amoungst the knowledge crowd at the Crucible theater.
The gentleman beside Ronnie’s corner was donning a wonderful Coventry City shirt no doubt in honour of the approaching 27th anniversary of Kevin Houchen’s diving header that won them the FA cup against Spurs.
The Large gentleman behind him was wonderfully turned out in a Sheffield United home strip , the red and white stripes in XXXL looked wonderful on TV with his faded tattoos, i also noticed a patron in a Leeds RLFC strip.

Eurosport’s coverage is wonderful BTW, Joe Johnson from Bradford , the 1986 world champion who entered the tournament at odds of 150-1 is at the helm providing a wonderful synopsis as the proceedings play out whilst also giving some humorous anecdotes about former greats[/QUOTE]

Keith…

942

Selby looking much the stronger player now.

945

Is the “Crucible Arab” in attendance?

Cueing very well alright.

Would still fancy O’Sullivan though

947

11-10 Selby at the interval

948

That why Selby was needed in the final. He will not hand it to Ronnie on a plate

949

Some astonishing misses by both players in this frame.

950

O’Sullivan finally takes it. 11-11.

951

Remarkable frame just there. Both players missing sitters to take it as the nerves really start to show. Ronnie eventually pots a long green to the yellow pocket to level us up at 11-11. Selby will be feeling sick in his corner after the chances he missed in that frame.

952

Virgo and Thorne are insufferable. Hyper-critical arseholes. All the decorated ex-players involved in the commentary and punditry team are much more balanced in their criticism as opposed to these two journeyman cunts who find fault with everything.

953

Willie Thorne is a gent

954

WTF was that from Selby? He had a stranglehold on this frame and now it looks like he’s going to throw it away.

955

Bloody hell, Selby is having some run of the balls at the moment.

956

Don’t tell me you slept with another Leicester journeyman?

957

Ronnie misses an absolute sitter on the pink and Selby punishes him to take a 12-11 lead, incredible stuff.

958

OMFG.

An astonishing miss by Ronnie O’Sullivan on the simplest of pinks to win the frame and Selby pots pink and black to win the frame.

GUBU stuff.

959

This is a great final

960

Only 6 frames allowed in that session. Tonight could be a seriously long night if this keeps up. WTF was Ronnie thinking about there? He only needed the pink, why play that shot? Staggering.
