HON TO FUCK

That was glorious. Like Ulster football at its best.

Selby’s ambition to be part of the longest frame in crucible history is a hollow achievement. I’d say it never even entered his thinking that he’d lose it. He’ll still probably come back and win.

In truth I’m gutted it didn’t go to the respotted black.

Selby’s shit eating grin as he drags his opponent into the trenches is one of the great things in sport.

But we may have seen the last of it for this year.

Well done Yan

There is a touch of Peter Ebdon about Yan. You get a sense he loves the gamesmanship and the slog. Most players would have cracked and Selby would have broken their resolve.

And just like that it was over.

That penultimate frame was Selby’s Stalingrad. He threw everything at his opponent and when he lost it he was fodder for the communist.

The Tournament will be all the poorer without Selby.

Ronnie is the biggest winner tonight.

Superb break there.

He won’t win it.

Eurosport played out their coverage with “Don’t Dream It’s Over” by Crowded House. :grin:

They could just as easily have gone with the theme from “The Never Ending Story”.

Bingham 3-1 up vs Wilson.

I’ve been watching Higgins vs Saengkham. Higgins leads 3-1. Scrappy affair. Both players had chances in each frame

Expect Higgins to win that easily. Other match hard to call.

I give Lisowski a great chance against serial Crucible underachiever Robertson.

Now or never

Jack is grand until the winning line is in sight. There is a reason he has never won a ranking event.
