    Was so sorry to see Ronnie lose that game, really wanted him to win. He started to apply himself a bit too late..
    From the rest glad for Selby and Ding..

    It's almost as if he's going out of his way to show everyone how little he cares, like it's some sort of badge of honour. 12 years of wasted talent

    Ya know, it just occurred to me that you're completely right. I've only been watching snooker for around 10 years and I've always been rooting for Williams. His half arsed approach was always kind of a novelty and it's this approach that has wasted such a talent.

    And I reckon Hawkins will win this match, Ding will win the tournament...

    Fu one away now. Gutted for Barry, I thought he had this, seems to be unlikely now though

    Tables are defo slower this year? as opposed to last year when they were too fast and balls were flying from one side to another.. wondering how's that possible... shouldn't fiber be the same?

    Be good to see mc manus knock higgins out. To go into the semis at 45!. Could you imagine. With the young hot shots coming agressively through the 90s like hendry, ronnie, williams and higgins himself for years now it was assumed you were totally finished by 40. But there are a few making a nonsense of this now. Ray reardon was 45 when he won his 6th title.

    How many chances does Fu need?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,500 ✭✭✭✭ArmaniJeanss


    Nervy Fu.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,663 ✭✭✭Muppet Man


    Jesus fu must be sick :(

    Wow! I'm really rooting for Hawkins now. Fu doesn't deserve it if he can't close it out.

    Don't care how much was Higgins paid to lose however always good to see his back ever since... :rolleyes:

    Good man McManus! :)

    Fu really struggling now


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,152 ✭✭✭✭KERSPLAT!


    Thought it was over when he clipped the blue!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,178 ✭✭✭bajer101


    And Hawkins pulls back another one. I fancy him now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,812 ✭✭✭Addle


    The drama!
    Evenings like this are why I love the world championship.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 33,733 ✭✭✭✭Myrddin


    Come on the hawk!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,178 ✭✭✭bajer101


    What was that break by Dawkins to 12-11? I missed the final tally.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,148 ✭✭✭✭Scorpion Sting


    Delighted for McManus. To make the World semis at the age of 45 is some achievement.

    If Fu wins this, being forced to fight for this might affect him in the first session tomorrow.
