Rooting for Higgins. He's been extremely fortunate in the first two, though. Should have lost both.

Selby, he's English.

But when he beated Murphy.When the Ref cleaned the ball she moved it away from its original spot.

 

[steds]

That happens. Nothing ever goes back exactly where it was. He outplayed Murphy over the 33 frames

I'm still waiting for them to come up with something a bit less... rubbish... when there's a foul and a miss and they put the balls back.

Higgins' obscene amount of jam so far is starting to irritate me.

ARGH at Eurosport. They show soft muck over the 16th frame.

Must say this is the least engaging final I can remember.

Dunno, I loved that 15th frame. (Mind, I hadn't got to see any of the first 14 due to football. )

They were both dire for most of the first session. Missed the start of the second through choosing to watch Leeds-Bradford instead. Come back and Higgins were going 10-3 up. Turned it off then. I want to see a contest.

Four frames in a row for Selby.

*gets on bike*

Mum reckons it's fixed to ensure a last session.

12-10 and that's the end of the session... C'mon Selby.

Back to the jam rescuing Higgins again after a shockingly bad in-off.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Well done Higgins.

Went to bed at 14-13 and was certain Selby would win.

Marco Fu wins the Grand Prix, his long overdue first ranking tournament win.

Potted one of the best shots I've seen in the 14th frame. Tricky red down the rail, miles from the corner and he was nowhere near behind it. Potted it easily and got perfect on the yellow. In awe atm.

Well done Marco Fu. Does anyone know when the next big tourament is?

Just seen it- truly amazing. And he made it look utterly effortless, barely even thought about it. It is good to see Fu utilising his talent and it is always good to see an overseas player win a tournament, even if that is a far more common occurance these days.

*bump*

O'Sullivan rounds off Selby with 147 in the decider of the UK Championship semi-final. Mildly amusing finish.
