Selby gone?! I missed the end

What a terrible match. Both Selby and Highfield played poorly. Though Selby had two good frames, he was a tad worse than Highfield overall. Throws away his chance at the £1mil. Though I don't think he would have gotten it and I don't think anyone will. It's just too difficult.

Yep Liam potted some good balls in the decider and tucked mark behind a colour, Mark hit the blue in his escape attempt and left everything for Liam.

This.

Mark looked alright early on, but he played some really strange shots as the match went on. For anyone that didn't watch, this was probably one of his worst safety performances. On the other hand, I think Highfield actually played some decent safety.

Both really struggled to build breaks though. It was scrappy all the way.

Is it Smurph next? I'd rather watch Ding.

selbys form going downwards
title-->final-->semis-->r64

Marks had a good run recently though, won an event reached a final and then a semi.

I think Selby has been poor since the turn of the year. I know it's a weird thing to say as he won the world title but got two thrashings off Ronnie in Masters and Welsh and was terrible in the WCs. Played one good session in the whole tournament. I went to his semi-final against Fu and the standard was very low. His match against Sam Baird was such a low standard in the earlier rounds.

Even in the EM last week he didn't really play well in any match. I suppose it's a testament to him that he can still compete but his overall play has been really un-Selby like since the start of the year.

You enjoyed it then Tuna?

Jeezus - Jimmy White's hair! It's like a plant stuck on top!
I feel he's got too many 'yes men' around him telling him it looks okay!
What a mess! Just grow bald gracefully, nothing wrong with that!

I didn't realise that new invitational was literally called "China Championship" not fond of that name at all.

ryan day played better with the big mole on his face

What did you think it was called?

I don't know I just thought that was a working title people where using.

Wouldn't be surprised to see a few big names pull out of Belfast. Lots of big events coming up and it's been a very tough 5/6 weeks for some

the one who has a chance for the 1 million wont pull out. believe me

And it's not even a dig at him as such, just how I see it. I know you can't play well in every match but there hasn't been one match I've seen him in recently that I think he's played well in.

Day 1-0 barring snookers.

I hoped that he would pull through, but his form has been too inconsistent these past few weeks despite reaching the semis last week and the final in Shanghai. Hopefully he'll just rest now, 'cause he's played a lot of matches, exhibitions, and sponsor events.
