Yeah must be torture playing these long best of 7 matches. Poor chap never had time to shave either, must be physically drained.
I'll take your word for it since you sound like you're talking from experience.

Same old, same old. I think it would be easier to point out the times when Holt doesn't bottle a match.

Pattaya is famous for it's sex tourism. Can see why it would attract so many "tourists". Bangkok is very good as well, I heard.

Those seats look very gaudy. Wouldn't surprise me to find out they were nicked from someone's living room.

If Selby wins we have a:

I know you will appreciate this moment in history.

What about the drinking glasses do you approve or do you think they are slightly

I like it when the players drink straight out of the bottle. Only the runts use the glasses.

Holt hasn't bottled a match. No need to thank me.

That post deserves a thread of its own. You can list the bottle drinkers and glass drinkers .....get it sorted tonight.

Mark Williams held the rest in the air when he played a shot. I've never seen that before.

No. There's absolutely nothing cool about drinking water from a plastic bottle. Least there isn't at a snooker match. It's not a big thing, but to me it's just another part of the sanitising/bland-ifying of snooker that gives the modern game the atmosphere of an operating theatre.
Players drinking pints of beer and smoking.
That was cool, and way more real.

Pattaya and maybe Bangkok do have a reputation for sex tourism, but it is the wealthy westerners who I blame, people like the British and Americans. A lot of the Thais that sell sex come from the poor north of Thailand and are just trying to earn money for their family.

Normally, I would agree, but when players are provided tiny 500ml bottles water logic suggests drinking straight from the bottle would be the easiest option. Would also save the organisers the added trouble of having to provide several glasses for the players, it's an extra burden the organisers could well do without imo. Also some players will use them and some won't which adds to wastage and costs.

You forgot to mention all the young men who mutilate themselves in the aim of entering the adult industry as ladyboys. I agree, it's a very disturbing trade and places like Pattaya and Bangkok are at the centre of it.

4-3
Selby had chances to win especially frame 6. Well, there's still China to get a bit of form going.
