Hopefully Selby doesn't win, but yeah apart from him not fussed on who, be great to get a new winner.

Not many Selby fans on here

Also in “anyone but Selby” camp here

Some good snooker in that first session, the pressure kicked in and nobody seemed to want that last frame though. So many mistakes, almost schoolboy stuff and they both looked like they momentarily forgot how to do a safety.

I don't hate him. In fact I used to quite like him but I'm indifferent now.

Used to be a Ronnie fan, now I chuckle when he looses. He comes across as a massive ****.

Now Ronnie's out, I don't mind who wins, but preferably not Selby.

It would be nice to see Mark Allen win.

Allen has a bit of an attitude about him as well.

They both like to get in and go for it, enjoyable to watch. Hope the other semi lives up to that as well but I doubt it with Selby.

Selby bores me more than Ebdon vs Dott.
It's a shame the Luca & Si match isn't the final.

Feek · 27 Apr 2023 at 19:12

Here we go. Come on Pixie, beat Selby please.

200sols · 27 Apr 2023 at 19:14

Selby is boring me already and he's only just started. Come on Allen!

*yawn*

I’m actually enjoying most of the tactical stuff, not so much them whiffing at one red though.

Yea it is.

In a way I'd like Selby to go to the final only so he can get beaten by either of those guys, would make a great final.

I’ve always enjoyed tactical frames more than just single visit frames. It’s the true art of snooker.

Luca getting his knickers in a knot already this morning. Good catch by the ref, too!

Si is paying so well. I'd be happy with either of these two to win it really. The story around Si would be a great one though

UTmaniac · 28 Apr 2023 at 13:05

Hopefully Allen continues to edge away from snorefest Selby this afternoon, would be nice to be guaranteed a new champion this year.

Si is playing so well, will be interesting to see if he plays so free of errors as the finish line of 17 approaches.

gingergundog · 28 Apr 2023 at 15:25

Shaun Murphy talking about Allen losing so much weight "It takes a really big man to do something like that"

UTmaniac · 28 Apr 2023 at 15:29

At this rate, the final will need to be postponed for Selby and Allen to finish their semi, so slow this afternoon! :eek:

He is a great player.

They'll make a film of him if he wins the championship.

They could call it...The Life of Si.

It’s so bloody boring! I’m not watching any more of the match after this frame (10th).
