what milkins do ?

i just turned on now look like a great win for allen i went for a milkins allen final with milkins winning

selby might be world number one im not having a go but one or two players dont think he a proper number one at the moment and i agree

the fact that he entering every event going might have something to do with him being number one

I honestly can't believe people are writing Lee off already. It's going to be a lot closer than people think, and Lee has a good chance to win.

This is Lee in final that is. Lee's almost got this semi in the bag.

It will be a good and very close match, I can garantee you that

A lot of players have entered every event this season. Selby has entered every event and done well. If someone wants his no1 place they can't just win one tournament and then chill out for the rest of the season.

I am sure Lee will win a close final.

He is much more experienced than Allen and has a very good record in finals. He is not a bottler as well...

Situation reminds me of his final with Murphy that everyone thought that Murphy will win and he thrash him...

of course he has a chance but in all honesty Allen will have to give him a Lot of Help.

The way Allen responds under Pressure is Inspired i wouldnt fancy Lee to do the same if Allen puts Lee under Presure.

= Allen all the way.

A Lee v Allen final would be something... and I honestly cant say who would be going to win that one.. maybe slightly favour Allen, but Lee is playing very good himself this 2nd half of the season.. the best since the early 2000s

i wouldnt write lee off he a winner of four ranking events in what most call the strongest era ever and he been showing that form of late

allen on the other hand has never won a trophy so lee has every chance of winning even though i agree reading some of the comments allen played really well to come back

Selby deserves his no1 status as much as everyone else has deserved it... for his consistency in ranking events, even if he isnt winning them.. if someone wnats to be no1, he will have to be as consistent as selby has been, and winning events doesnt mean everyhing, as skullman just said

We can't have another 5-2 deficit overturned can we?

Where is tuberlad?

spot on consistancy is the name of the game

Bingham won the first main ranker of the season and Selby won the second...

Where as Selby has consoledated with consistant results Bingham has fallen back.

People are Forgetting Selby is the only player with a Winner and Runner up spot in main Rankers this season Allen could be the second.

Past results don't mean anything though. Mark Allen has come of age this season and Lee is past his best. Mark Allen will romp it, ok then 10-5 if it's first to 10.

how about looking at it this way take away all the ptc events this season and who has the most ranking points ? one for witz to work out

apart from ptcs, selby is the one with most I reckon.. murphy in 2nd place maybe

Lee going in for the kill.

and he kills...6-2

Lee wins 6-2. That's two OnQ players he beaten en route to the final. Will he make it a third?

Well played Stephen lee should be a cracking match tomorrow.. cant wait for it

Bit of a disappointing match. Milkins didn't play well and Lee was put under no pressure at all.

Hope tomorrow's final is better.

I have to be honest, I have no interest in the final. I think Mark Allen will win and I'm certainly not setting my alarm clock.

Saturday 3rd of March


11.30am GMT

Robert Milkins 2-6 Stephen Lee

Sighs.

But you'll miss Lee's incredible performance to go 8-0 up on Allen, beating Hendry's record of centuries in a best of 19.

Well, its no secret that I loathe Lee beyond belief and Allen's rants this week put me off him. So I have no interest in this other than hoping Lee gets beaten.

In fact, I think I'll check the result sometime in the afternoon.

Yes, Including points from this event Selby has won the most, followed by Allen & Murphy. Selby's actually only 10th on the PTC ranking point list - that includes guaranteed points from the Grand Finals.
