Selby's matches usually bore me to death, today's no different. From what I have seen, Hawkins is not playing that great, so maybe he is not a sure bet for the 1/2 final after all.
Can't wait for the afternoon session, the old classic and Perry - O'Sullivan. If Gentleman Joe finds a way to draw 4-4 we can have a lot of drama on Saturday!

Then Selby 9-6, and Carter reduces to 9-7?
If you believe in patterns
Yeah, that looks like dogtooth check to me.

Are you working on that reverse logic that says Selby is a poor front runner?

I'll be happy if Selby went 11-5 up.

Although Perry is pretty tough, the thought of knocking out the defending champion, and current favourite might start playing on his mind.
That's what it could be all about this session, other than Ronnie completely going up a gear and blasting him off the table of course.

For those of you who don't go to any live snooker, here is the video they show before the matches begin.
It's features the hilarious comedy stylings of the World Snooker referees.

Best for him to be behind in the match as Wild says.
That seems to work better for Selby
he loves to drain himself mentally.

Still cant believe Carter missed that red to the middle. He's just giving it away.

Selby regains his three frame cushion. It seems like they'll just exchange frames until it's 13-11 or 13-10 Selby.

We need that Selby v. Robbo match. It would be a real nail biter.

Would've probably saved a bit of money and time if they just displayed a big sign to everyone:

If Ali has one more bad run off the balls I think he'll snap his cue.
