true i think robbo took a break to stay fresh , mags takes long breaks alot so perhaps hes being lazy.

Plus it's not like he's gone in deep in as many events as Robbo to justify taking the break.

Mags took an extended summer break too.

nothing wrong with taking a break but so far mags having breaks does nothing for him he is a confidence player and not playing doesn't give anyone confidence

I just realized, this event start tomorrow

You can't catch your breath nowadays with this calendar. Pre Hearn there were always at least a couple of weeks after an event before the next starts. Now it's a couple of days or only one in this case.

Yeah absolutely Wild, I think they used to wear them in the afternoon matches didn't they in the 80s and early 90s.

Both players have them, don't know if it's the rule now to wear them in the afternoon or it's up to the players to chose between ties or bow tie.

the reason they changed to only bow ties and evening jackets Because a lot of matches that was played in the morning/afternoon was shown in a highlight package and for continuity they dressed the same every session of play

Ridiculous reason but there you are

Snooker Administration over the years have been stupid

Mark Selby 0-1 Shaun Murphy

Selby fights back to take frame 2

Foulds and Everton is quality commentary, only which we had more teams like those 2 commentating snooker.

Mark Selby 2-1 Shaun Murphy

Murphy done very little wrong in the match and gone from 1-0 up to 2-1 down

Had to go out. How has Mark played?

PS Regarding ties, wouldn't they get in the way more than a bow tie?

Neal Foulds hit the nail on the head Mark Selby plays exactly the same game as Steve Davis played in his prime

Mark Selby 3-1 Shaun Murphy

Yeah fully agree with him

Murphy hasn't done that much wrong, but Selby has been superb in amongst them, never looking like missing, has made about 5 or 6 breaks over 30 in this 4 frames.

Don't think Murphy will be strong enough to win this match now.

its a tad ironic how much Stick Selby gets from bonafied Steve Davis fans

He isn't like Taylor though by a country mile, only comparing the ethical code of both snooker and golf when players call fouls on themselves, and Golf is definately a good comparison.
