Was it annoyin ye THAT much in general chat?

[machinecock]

He can win but I seriously doubt it. He is well past his best and did well to even qualify for the tournament.

I think either Ronnie O Sullivan or Neil Robertson will be the champion.

oh i didnt mean win the title lol, just meant can he win the match

But you never know eh?

Selby did incredibly well to be only 3 frames down at the end of tonight's session...that black that ronnie missed after messing with his tip seemed to give selby an extra kick!big first frame to come tomorrow afternoon....

Incredible session ronnie missing balls never seen him miss

Fascinating final session coming up possible 12 frames going to be a late night I think

[NoBrain2]

Im in shock after that last frame. Its going to interesting tonight, cant wait

[Rackemup147]

Ya what a miss on the pink by ronnie n the last frame, unbelieveable. Should be an exciting finish tonight, who wil have nerves of steel to win it.

If John Higgins was missing the balls these two lads are missing he would have been banned lol

[dr love]

What a shot by ronnie to pot the yellow n the last frame. Great stuff. Selby leads 15-14.

Keep us posted ketchup .: doc

The 2015 world champs off and running this morning.

Defending champion Mark Selby just won the first frame v Kurt Maflin

Can he be first to overcome the 'crucible curse' ?

Having recently won 2 ranking events, he's obviously in good form.

Who do you fancy to be champion in 17 days time?

I'm all for Ronnie, I stopped watching snooker it had gone to boring with the likes of ebdon and Dot taking an hour a frame

at least when O'Sullivan is playing you know it's going to be nice 10-20min frames doesn't matter if he's playng good or bad always nice quick snooker, when he's on form it's amazing to watch him. He had one long frame at. 30 mins but the next three averaged 10 mins each

Selby gone, it was impressive work by young McGill, he took everything in his stride and was very composed for someone playing the world number 1 at the Crucible. I don't doubt we'll be seeing a lot more of him

but I think it will probably come down to Ding or Murphy, Ronnie is playing well but he's in trouble with his long potting and you can't win the championship with 25% success rate

It' hard to fancy Selby to defend it given the stats! i think ronnie will be hard to beat.
