Where can I get some of these tartan strides?

Not sure if serious.

Bloody hell, neither of these deserve the final..

[Gandahar]

blimey, that was a frame

[Gandahar]

Ding dong

Selby will have his work cut out, he's not playing that well and if the nerves do not get Ding we will have our first WC from China

Go on, in off the red as Alan P would say

[Snubs]

Record-breaking stuff from Ding. It would take a bold man to place a serious bet against him now. Felt a bit sorry for McManus in the last frame, his misses were getting as close to the potting angle as mine do.

It's pressure mate.

Even taking that into account, they both would both admit to playing very poorly. Hopefully they can get their act together for this evenings frames.

Selby is world number 1 and has ended the last 4 or 5 seasons as number 1 yet he can be involved in some real scrappy matches at times - it's as if he prefers to grind a player down slowly as opposed to blowing them away. Think he'll do the same here tonight.

Exactly, such a boring player to watch.

Yes, nothing jesterish about him.

[Amirhussain]

Can't see either of these two beating Ding in the final.

[jbudgie]

Things can change due to pressure, I wouldn't expect Ding to run away with it.

I don't believe for one second that Marco didn't feel that. Should have called a foul on himself, poor form.

[stephen300o]

They may both be numb from boredom.

[leglessAlex]

I imagine Marco felt it when he touched the ball, but it was just a touch. You never know, if he was totally concentrated on what the cue ball was doing he might really not have felt it.

Either way, I can't imagine either of these two having a hope in the final against Ding, if Ding keeps his form up.

I've never been to World Snooker but I expect there to be signs about mobile phones all over.

Yet they still go off whilst in play.

I want the ref to eject somebody.

Literally as I posted that,ANOTHER went off.

Probably some hilarious prankster...."my mate's at the Crucible.I'm going to keep ringing him"

Idiots.
