get in there

fair play good start

Well played Dott. If he can stay within a couple of frames of Murphy, then he has a decent chance of stealing this match.

Selby isn't going to give any frames to Hawkins, he's going to make his opponent work for it.

Selby uses it as a form of gamesmanship alot of the time. He's clearly trying to make sure Barry doesn't get into any rhythm early on.

but isnt sport meant to be how to gain a mental edge

look at nadal in tennis uses lots of tricks

Murphy at least can't win this match in this session now just joking

Good morning btw: ratface/Lucky/skull/gj/wild/Muppet/cueist/sunny

Oh, so you don't want me to have a good morning?

how very dare me: good morning s-FAN

i said yesterday a being 6-2 behind is a good target going in to the second session and 6-2 lead is a nervy lead.

Why how and what did you get that from?

he worries too much on how hes perceived by the public instead of getting on with his own game.

hes become a fast player to the detriment of playing the right shots...he rushes shots plays any old rubbish at times just to be quick.

Yep! so your saying he has become a little self conscious and a bit reckless in his shot selection.

Well at times yes,But he does suffer as well at times.

Yeah, I never understood how people can equate 'trying to win' with 'cheating'.

if Dott had played like that in 2006 he wouldn't have been World Champion i have no doubt about that....in the semi finals he would have played in to Ronnies hands.

he just needs the right balance in his game and who knows he could win again.

Nadal is one of my least favourite tennis players. He gets away with absolute murder sometimes, he really does.

I'd say Selby is snooker's version of Rafael Nadal - Both are grinders.

being called a grinder is a compliment

robbo could learn 1 thing from shaun

always play the positive shot

nadal breaks time rules every match

Barry Hawkins 1-1 Mark Selby

TBF, you say alot of things, most of which deserves to be ignored.

Frame 3. Barry Hawkins to break.

goading a mod is very stupid think on

shaun

rexy

7-4, SHAUN TOO GOOD

Smart wrote:7-4, SHAUN TOO GOOD

Selby had a good 98 break to level at one all.

Barry now in.

very poor escape from shaun but got away with it

Dotty gets the snooker he needs.. but misses the green.

dotty

Barry Hawkins 2-1 Mark Selby

shaun well played

must win frame 12 for dotty

IMO

has dotty got electric in him......
