Ronnie a tad unlucky but Williams took his chance well

xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 18:23 (three years ago) link

Fucking fucked at the next. Loads of easy missed chances but Ronnie wins out

xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 18:35 (three years ago) link

What a costly miss by Ronnie..

xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 18:50 (three years ago) link

Ronnie recovered well for a century break. All square.

xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 19:06 (three years ago) link

Ronnie is ahead...just terrific safety after a 60 break to get another chance

xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 19:38 (three years ago) link

How far behind was Ronnie this afternoon? Looks comfortable now.

Eyeball Kicks, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 19:39 (three years ago) link

Maybe not.

Eyeball Kicks, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 19:40 (three years ago) link

Genius century, within one

xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 19:45 (three years ago) link

He worked out a plant in the middle of that 👌👌👌

xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 19:46 (three years ago) link

Lol re-spotted black

xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 20:17 (three years ago) link

Fuck me this frame

xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 20:17 (three years ago) link

haha what

I turned it off after he put the green in, thinking that's that

||||||||, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 20:18 (three years ago) link

Nah missed the blue

xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 20:19 (three years ago) link

Ronnie does it

xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 20:20 (three years ago) link

That was great fun

Monte Scampino (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 11 August 2020 20:22 (three years ago) link

good

goo

xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 21:17 (three years ago) link

See Selby has yet to make a century and while he can do a lot with his tactical game he'll also need to score heavy if Ronnie is on his game.

xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 11 August 2020 21:18 (three years ago) link

Selby can't get going rn.

xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 12 August 2020 18:54 (three years ago) link

I missed most of the first two frames. Commentators are talking about the number of kicks. Selby got a nasty one just now

xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 12 August 2020 18:58 (three years ago) link

Ronnie gets one too..it might need looking at.

xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 12 August 2020 19:01 (three years ago) link

Kick after kick after kick. Selby esp looks nervous though, even before those

Monte Scampino (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 12 August 2020 19:04 (three years ago) link

Yup. Ronnie has been frustrated too but has managed more of a rhythm. 3-1

xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 12 August 2020 19:26 (three years ago) link

That's the story. Selby had some really bad misses without a kick, too. He looks really on edge.

Monte Scampino (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 12 August 2020 19:28 (three years ago) link

4-1. Selby missed a green off the spot, Ronnie made two 50+ breaks. A dangerous moment here.

xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 12 August 2020 19:57 (three years ago) link

Selby played one good frame, the last one, yet is only two down.

Monte Scampino (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 12 August 2020 21:20 (three years ago) link

Good to see Wilson got his mojo back

Monte Scampino (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 13 August 2020 11:46 (three years ago) link

I think Selby got into the match in the penultimate frame last night. That was also good but yes he should've been 6-2 down.

xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 11:55 (three years ago) link

Ronnie got the mother of all kicks. Didn't leave anything tho'.

xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 13:52 (three years ago) link

Am not watching now, but any thoughts on the reason for all these kicks? I don't buy the 'humidity' thing, hasn't there been a heatwave all week in Sheffield? Why are there kicks only last night and now?

Monte Scampino (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 13 August 2020 14:03 (three years ago) link

Well there was a change of balls between the first and second session and tbh that was the only kick in the frame.

It led to a half hour frame, Selby eventually strangles out a win and that's just how he likes it.

xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 14:07 (three years ago) link

At the next Selby plays an attacking safety. Selby now in and the question is on his scoring, should win the frame in one visit.

xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 14:12 (three years ago) link

Yup does it. 97 break, 5-5.

xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 14:20 (three years ago) link

the narrative requires this to be an o'sullivan-wilson final

imago, Thursday, 13 August 2020 14:35 (three years ago) link

Awesome long pot from Selby to get the lead. O'Sullivan all over the shop, he had the first chance but tried to force it on a first visit.

xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 14:36 (three years ago) link

Selby is strangling Ronnie's game.

xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 14:37 (three years ago) link

This is goo

xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 14:38 (three years ago) link

Good starter from Ronnie, but he then kisses the blue after the green, the misses the red. His timing is gone.

xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 14:40 (three years ago) link

Selby has won the last five frames.

xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 14:49 (three years ago) link

Damage limitation is the name of the game. 2-2 would be good but just from the first few exchanges that's looking optimistic, let's see.

xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 15:14 (three years ago) link

Selby made a bad, bad error. Ronnie finally takes a chance to win the frame.

xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 15:20 (three years ago) link

They share the next two, well done Ronnie. Last frame not that important.

xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 15:53 (three years ago) link

Selby plays snooker with a massive Tory vibe sorry

Huge slice of fortune from Selby who totally screwed up, should've left the frame

xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 August 2020 15:58 (three years ago) link

This semi is really pretty bad, but I can enjoy bad snooker

Monte Scampino (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 13 August 2020 16:02 (three years ago) link

Haven't had a century yet, so it's Selby's to lose.
