Just catching up, watched ROS / Selby from recording, pretty focused from ROS, got a bit jittery towards the end though, not surprising you're never over the line against Selby until final ball potted.
Is Robbo tired or something?

Selby won the English and Scottish Open and lost in the quarters of the Northern Irish and Welsh. Thats probably as good as anyone will do in the Home nation events.
Dont think we'll ever see someone winning 3 of them, let alone all 4.

Imagine if today’s dream line up all ended 5-1/5-0 matches.
And if you look at this evening it’s very conceivable.

We did that to one of the lads years ago. He wanted his head shaving (it was around 2001 when a grade 4 all over was de rigueur). We just shaved the top then hid the clippers. It instantly put 40 years on him. Much to the amusement of us stoned students.
So mean. But v. funny
We did shave the rest off eventually. Once we’d had our half hour of hysterics :)

Who was that that got to the semis last year? Was it Joe O'Connor?

Just tuned in for this match. Is Kyren playing well or did Robbo play bad ?

You could try that disgusting Rum Slush they are promoting. If you go for the Pizza & Chips option, you'll probably have a heart-attack, which would be a disappointing end to your trip. You might even miss some exciting snooker.

I want to watch Richard Osman at 6pm then dinner in the hotel.
Should I nip for a pint first. Either in hotel, or at The Traders Tavern?
I have already had one.

Oh well, Robbo's winning streak comes to an end, very impressive run the last 3 weeks.
Well done Kyren, good luck against Ronnie

I need Ronnie and Karen. Who do I try for tomorrow?
The loser, I guess. Second chance at getting the winner when I'm up for the final.

Hope Ronnie wins that battle. Don't want Wilson winning. That smug smile will get bigger.

Foulds mentioned that and I agree.
The only 2 players I can see matching that are Robbo or Trump.
By the way, how did Robbo lose this heavily? He was fresh wasnt he...

Better than that hammer who asked Ali Carter if he was a pilot when he won The Welsh Open.

Yes, 4 centuries adds another 4K to the pot. Think he's relieved to be out. Normally he would have had a very good chance of stealing that final frame, but didn't even want to get out of his chair, crowd cheering him on to continue. He didn't even look that disappointed at losing. Needs a good rest now to recharge his batteries.

I had a bottle on the train on the way to the rugby. And am now getting a pint. Also had a pint for lunch.
