Should have done more on the prior visit. Unlucky, yes, but he didn’t really keep control of the frame when he could.

I think we're in for a long season of stuttery, scuttery Selby successes.

Vafaei leads 3-1.

brilliant long black by vaffaei. important fram for him to win that 3-1.

Ohh Barry. Slipped through your fingers, that one.

Matthew Stevens 1-1 Jak Jones

selby pulls one back with a couple of breaks 3-2

What's that coming over the hill?

Selby is level at 3-3 barring snookers.

84 break for selby to force a decider.

first chance to vaffaei after selby misses the reds altogether then catches the middle jaw.

vaffaei misses blue to corner pocket on 27. but selby not able to take advantage.

re-rack!

Rerack in the 7th frame between Selby and Vafaei with about 40 points scored between the two players.

Vafaei had a go at the ref for standing to close to him when playing a delicate roll up to a red. The ref explained that he needed to be close up to determine whether it would be a foul as the shot was so delicate.

Words were also exchanged between Selby and Vafaei but I couldn’t hear what they were. Might have just been discussing the rerack that came after the next shot.

Robbo doesn't even try and attempt to play the blue to middle and disturb the reds on the cushion, he decides to knock the green safe.

Vafaei gets first chance but snookers himself on all colours.

Turns out to be the correct decision though from Robbo as he gets a chance straight away and takes it to win 4-2

Matthew Stevens 2-2 Jak Jones

Could potentially be another rerack in Selby-Vafaei

not looking good for vaffaei at the minute...

Come on Mark

Imagine being so empty as to enjoy watching Selbo play.

vaffaei gets in with a good long red. now has a chance to clear.

looses position from yellow to green. so lays a snooker behind the brown.

The emptiness I feel haunts me. Emptiness and unrest at the world that envelopes me.

Our existence is based solely on the ever-fleeting present. Essentially, therefore, it has to
take the form of continual motion without there ever being any possibility of our finding
the rest after which we are always striving. It is the same as a man running downhill, who
falls if he tries to stop, and it is only by his continuing to run on that he keeps on his legs;
it is like a pole balanced on one’s finger-tips, or like a planet that would fall into its sun as
soon as it stopped hurrying onwards. Hence unrest is the type of existence.


Watching Selby gives me some respite from the melancholy of existing in this black teardrop of a world.
