THRILLING deciding frame between Mark Selby & Mark Allen 🔥 | The Masters 2024

[@domagojhrgovic7419]

Allen has taken his game to another level in the last year and a half.

[@SRC267]

The weight loss helped I think.

[@Fifers86]

Me and my family were just saying the same thing! Hopefully he brings his A game to the world championship

[@antoinecringemann]

Yes, he became a new Selby because he couldn't win playing the good game

[@luckyspurs]

@@SRC267 I'm super impressed how he's managed to keep it off; same with Luke Humphries in the darts. As someone who's always been thin, I can't imagine how difficult it must be once the initial high of losing the weight has gone.

[@kissrings]

@@SRC267 you love to see someone take matter in their hands. He got serious about his health, condition and obviously craft. And it shows. That 147 break was absolutely genius, some of those shots were incredibly hard, and he delivered in brilliant fashion. Can’t help but root for him to win it all.

[@luckyspurs]

That brown into the middle pocket was one of the crispest and most nerveless shots I've ever seen.

[@Chief_Brody]

calm down

[@erenkkara]

@@Chief_Brody king of exaggeration

[@gohumberto]

The main difference between Ronnie and everyone else is cue-ball control. So many of the others are playing recovery shots, or over-reaching, caused by losing the cue-ball by a few inches. If I could pick up the cue-ball, and place it where Ronnie plays it, I'd be pretty damn good at this game, because Ronnie gives himself fairly easy pots because of his amazing control.

[@artyk31]

Great match! Under each video there are comments about someone being slow. It seems that some people have nothing else in their heads, no understanding of snooker other than the stereotype “a slow player - a bad player”. Excellent match, a lot of emotions, a lot of original creative shots, a lot of tactics and smart moves! Some people can't understand that. All that matters to them is just potting balls in any situation. Just think more! Don't be so simple and straightforward, snooker is a much deeper and more multifaceted game! :)

[@caraveldrawing9867]

Nothing wrong with a tactical battle of wits, guile and granite! As interesting and entertaining as a one visit total clearance etc. believe sometimes though certain players do slow the game down purposely to disrupt or annoy their appointment, gamesmanship as you will. Believe this is what a few people are alluding too, not the nature of the match.

[@antoinecringemann]

Don't pretend to be a high intellectual of snooker with that self-glorifying word salad you served us. 4,5 hours of negativity has nothing to do with a strategic genius. All they did was cherry picking reds and put colors tight on cushions hoping the opponent would fall asleep. Terrible display of snooker, this is the Masters, they should do better

[@unknown-yi3mw]

Didn't watch the whole game, but no doubt the comments are for Selby. If you don't think that Selby takes unnecessarily long against certain opponents and at certain times in the game, then I would guess you haven't watched much snooker or ever held a cue much. Tactical battles are one thing, when you take a ridiculous amount of time on an average shot (for a pro) to keep your opponent away from the table for as long as possible and to irritate them, you're also going to annoy the fans that are watching.

[@caraveldrawing9867]

[@MetteC5]

Well said 👍

[@tesla-spectre]

those were some amazing shots by Allen 🎉🎉🎉

[@jimbean7523]

Mark Selby has been on the end of a few big comebacks just lately! Well done Mark Allen 👍

[@alanvallis4183]

Trouble with Selby is he takes too much time looking when he's already decided what shot to play, he's turning into Cliff Thorburn " The Grinder" lol

[@kissrings]

Honestly I think it hurts his game. I don’t mind a slower player, do what works best for you, but in his case it almost seems like he gets to start overthinking it and loses confidence in the shot. He’s a legend and a brilliant player, but I believe he should work on making decisions faster and sticking to it, he has the skills to make it work.

[@Pure-Luck447]

Selby is his and snookers worst enemy I had to turn it off, it became so bad and boring

[@alanvallis4183]

He never used to play that slow when he first started out but now i cant stand watching him.@@kissrings

[@kaankarapnar1028]

The referee is beautiful

[@seanparsons5905]

Absolute class

[@timcrook2231]

Well played Mark 🖖🔝

[@antoinecringemann]

The spectators should get their money back, but then again, who paid to watch this in the first place? They totally deserved 4,5 hours of negativity

[@raygorf735]

Poor standard this year. Oh well.

[@AdhamMGhaly]

That was a great frame

[@danielcoganmanzanas3676]

Anytime Selby looses I 🙂

[@AlanBrown-d8w]

Allen’s addressing the cue ball has slowed down loads 😢

[@laurindotcom2412]

magic touch

[@colinmitchell6872]

Brilliant come back from Mark Allen, well done knocking out the most boring snooker player since Terry Griffiths. Go on and beat Ronnie in the final on Sunday after beating The Captain. UPDATE. My prediction was as wrong as it usually is LOL

[@j2shoes288]

Unlike Selby to not get the snooker, could have made the difference, at 19:10

[@raygorf735]

Despite the two 147s, I think this has been a fairly poor standard of play Masters. So many misses in many games. Bit disappointing. Maybe the semis and the final will see a higher standard.

[@GM-pj8kd]

Great win, Allen if he get’s in the final is the only one who can probably beat Ronnie as he won’t get intimidated and has done ronnie before.

[@KickassUncle]

Commentator Balls: Allen missed "as he was getting close to being on the brink of the semi-finals."

[@raygorf735]

From the 'you couldn't make this up if you tried' file... Mark Allen missed three - yep THREE - blacks on their spot pots (lol) and then made a 147. I've never seen that before. Going from terrible to very great in such quick time. Bizarre.

[@Pure-Luck447]

was like watching golf recovery shots one after the other, the match was so bad for snooker

[@Ali_Shah-zr8vn]

If Ronnie vs Allen final? Believe me Allen will wipe out the 2005 Ebdon memory from Ronnie's head, and give him new nightmares. Allen has defeated the mighty Selby, and its not a joke!

[@robovac3557]

Nobody said it was. You're the one who's raising it. Now I'm suspicious. Was it a joke?

[@Ali_Shah-zr8vn]

@@robovac3557 Trust me on this one.

[@Ali_Shah-zr8vn]

@yannick9473 Allen has found a way to beat his opponents. What I ment was that Ronnie's petience will be tested if he is to meet Allen in the final. Allen has really slowed down his game since last two seasons, plus he is grinding and testing his opponents.

[@GG-ml3vr]

​@@Ali_Shah-zr8vn50 MINUTE frames🤣,will be the final nail in snookers coffin.

[@Pure-Luck447]

Selby dropped his form in this match to allow Allen to play badly and win

[@holymotherofmole]

Anyone but Selby!

[@bluesdoc737]

Well done Mark Allen, now I can enjoy the rest of the tournament, don't care who wins as long as its not Selby 😂

[@poppincam]

Fun fact: 2023 world championships, one of the reporters overhead Selby speaking to Lucas Brecel during the seconds phase of their finals. Selby made a deal. He said he would blow him off he if lost. Two days after Lucas won, Selby met him at a small cafe and gave him the best blowjobs. Selby said "I may not be good as you but I'm better at sucking good cock"

[@merinvet9738]

You’re so pathetic

[@SasaGOAT-k4i]

How am I this early

[@Slip666black]

Allen vs Ronnie in final for 100%

[@colinmann6295]

Another long drawn out match . Don't tell me selby is involved 😂

[@raygorf735]

Yes. The overall standard of play in the tournament bit average or dare I say below average. Kinda ironic given the two 147s! Matches drawn out. Easy balls missed. Ronnie's last match was embarrassing.

[@-kr8206]

Miss 147 is the referee for that..🙂😉

[@reckanize]

Total amateur here. Why is Allen's shot at 7:20 not a foul? I thought if you didn't pot anything then either the cue ball or object ball had to hit a cushion.

[@Vanosphere]

That's American Pool.. wow you really are an amateur 😏

[@davidluckman4104]

That’s an 8 ball pool rule. In snooker you can roll up, no need to hit cushions.

[@Davidhughes9467]

I think they play that fuel in the shoot out with snooker not 100 percent tho

[@theoracle8560]

Always nice to see Slowby lose, a cancer on the game of snooker

[@zbigniewczaykowski514]

If you're going to one of his evening matches make sure there is a train after midnight or have a taxi booked.

[@SasaGOAT-k4i]

18 seconds

Shaun Murphy will win this tournament believe me 😊

Nah fam, Ronnie is on a big man ting.

[@marcsans458]

2 exceptional players that should be shoot into the sun... man, at 2x speed they're still too slow and boring.

[@Peter19920]

Mark Allen is a horrible man, he will go down in history as the worst player to ever pick up a que!

[@bigfriki]

What did he do?

[@Smudgie]

What the f*** is a que?

[@Bristol-j7f]

It’s because he got in Ronnies eyeline putting him off, he’s a cheat and always will be

[@poppincam]

​@@bigfriki He was caught whilst during the 2017 world championships having sex with Peter ebdon. Peter told him not to cum inside but Allen couldn't resist. According to his words," the booty was so tight "
