Well not to me, but the only person's clothing I care about are my own.
And Michaela Tabb's. I strongly believe she should turn up nude.

Carter's bow tie is bigger than other players bow tie, reminds me of those they used to wear in the early 80s by Cliff, Reardon and so on...
Since we're talking about fashion contests

It becomes apparent when Carter gets close again to Selby he can't take advantage, so with more or less effort Selby will eventually come through.
I'm afraid you're right. Selby is playing pretty well in this match, better than I expected him to.
Still, Carter is far from out of this yet and he is at the table with a chance.

Sartorial elegance is part of the game, it's a gentleman's game afterall. I don't want that to sound snobby, but players have always looked good, which is something unusual in sport. I mean, look at the darts players. Oh dear! Gents used to have dinner, take off the old dinner jacket and play. That's where the look came from.

If it's 7-5, and if the patterns continues Selby will win the next frame and get a 3 frame cushion again at 8-5.
As I said when Carter seems to be getting close with Selby he can't advantage.

Each to their own, sir.
As the least fashionable person on the planet, I'm just messing around.

Not sure. But he has both BBC sessions today and 2/3 of the weekend sessions.

I saw a picture of Doug Mountjoy. One of those official studio pose series. I can't remember the name of the series, it had a lion rampant in the bottom corner as a trademark. Anyway, Mountjoy had this lovely waistcoat that scooped at the front at the bottom. Black bow tie and a pink frilly shirt. Stunning. I just thought, now that take's balls to dress like that to a match.

Carter takes it in one (once Mark is done playing for snookers).

Selby needing 4 snooker
Nothing new, he will still come to the table if he needs 5.
6 dont think he has ever come to the table, but wouldnt surprise me...
He did once get 5 snookers against Hendry and won that frame after all...
Hendry was bemused and couldnt believe what was happening

I agree. I wouldn't like to see the players turn up in their PTC outfits here at the Crucible.

Good, she's dreadful. She asks the same leading questions that have half the answer she wants from the players loaded in. She obviously doesn't play and knows little of the game. I'd rather have Reanne Evans, the accent aside. At least she knows the game. She should do some media work, it would be good for snooker. Tidy too.

Nothing wrong with a player fighting hard to win.

I don't mind Hazel Irvine. I think she's a decent presenter.
Had a nice chat with her in Telford too.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Would look good at the crucible that. Or at a league game. Can we buy them?

Talk to Sonny. He'll bring some round in his van. He'll do you a special offer.

Carter and Selby resuming...
The Walden v Hawkins match looked a bit boring to be honest.

Two in a row from Ricky. Barry not been great, so if Ricky can raise his level, he can get ahead this session.

So Selby now makes it 8-5 then Carter reduces to 8-6 right?
Then Selby 9-6, and Carter reduces to 9-7?
If you believe in patterns

Is this a van with dodgy back doors with stuff always falling out?
Yeah, I'll message and ask him if they can be made up. Who else is up for buying some?
