What a difference! From playing like I used to to playing like he is untouchable.

What a day of snooker! Some of the shots in that last frame to get out of snookers were incredible.

Glad Ronnie's through but thought he'd effed it up on a few occasions.

Thought there were a few sour grapes from Selby in that post match interview.

I've never liked Selby. One of those pricks who like to think they're a 'personality' when they're winning, and turn into a nasty, bitter tosser when they're losing.

Selby has gone down massively in my opinion after that childish interview. He must've said 'disrespected' at least 8 times. That's Ronnie, the most gifted player ever.....a speed genius around the table and a great personality. Too many boring, predictable players now with no charisma.

Interview on the BBC Lee.  Said he felt disrespected by O'Sullivan when he was whacking the safety shots around.  The classless twat, he should have just won one more frame then he'd have had nothing to moan about.

Can't find it. Agree with you, though. He had his chance and blew it.

If they insist on interviewing someone who has lost such a huge match within 5 minutes of leaving the table it’s a bit unfair to dissect his every word - he was obviously gutted and was venting (see the first 50 comments in a post match thread on here after we lose a game & we ain’t even players!) - if it was his opinion that Ronnie was being disrespectful then that was his opinion,  we moan when interviews are vanilla and say nothing fair play for saying what he thought.

I massively wanted Ronnie to win, so happy he’s in final :-) now win it!!

It looks like it is going that way. Wilson looks permanently on the verge of tears.

Thing with Ronnie is, he's a frontrunner. He's calm when he's behind, and when evens, but once he's ahead, he hates being challenged, and loses his cool. That's why his Triple Crown wins are often by a wide margin, but he has been on the end of some pretty famous comebacks.

Edit: not sure if 'frontrunner' is the term I wanted. Probably not.
