When is it likely to finish? I wanted to watch 'Margin Call' which is on afterwards.

That first replay angle shows clearly hit the black, what are they all on about?!
No... it doesn't. The black didn't move and it wasn't called touching, so for me it didn't hit. Anyway, the most experienced ref in the world was a few feet away and he made the call.

Amazing from Higgins to get back into this.

I thought that on the first viewing of it, but not on any subsequent viewings.

My reservation is that Selby thought it hit and he was the closest to it (and has far younger eyes than the referee).

Not sure. I've watched it about 20 times and I still can't decide. Tough call. Glad I don't have money on it!

As a kid, I always wanted to play Subbuteo on a pitch marked out on a snooker table.

Probably just me.

Awesome mental response from Selby... responds to the last frame with a century... one to go.

I thought Higgins was a cheat and got banned, don't want him to win, this game seriously needs some characters back in it or at least some flair, to the casual watcher it's more boring than F1.
Also, why stretch it out to 35 frames, best of 3 would do nicely.

Wrong, totally wrong, I admit it.
Back to its best, brilliant final.

Love the snooker at the Crucible... Bets 2 or so weeks in sport for me.
