He had a nose bleed this morning.

The way he's been playing I should guess it was a nugget of special K...^^

I always feel rob walker puts 'extra pressure' on the players a little with the way he introduces players..

Ding.. 'Has the weight of a nation on his shoulders'

Yeh, thanks for reminding him he's been trying his best to put that at the back of his mind, rob.. Lol

Marco should have won more than that. He need to put more pressure on Selby, otherwise it's gonna be very tough on him to win.

Considering how bad Selby is playing, losing this session only 5-3 is about as good as it gets.

I agree. I think Fu should have won that 6-2. But at 8-8 he can at least sleep well knowing there is everything to fight for. Certainly if Fu keeps playing this well he has a good chance to beat Selby even if Selby finds his best game......... and I feel it is unlikely Selby is suddenly going to find top gear because he has been struggling throughout the tournament really.

Willie shouldn't be allowed to comm on Selby's matches should he?

He's a Pita...

You have a point but to be fair terry Griffiths is often commentating on the players he coaches, manages to be pretty unbiased though.

Can't believe Marco missed that red to that side of the pocket being so close to the pink!

[Cov86]

I think Marco will be a bit disappointed if this finishes 8-8.......... although given he started 5-3 down he probably should be happy..... but he could have won the first two frames of today.

If he could steal this frame and be 9-7 it will be huge pressure on Selby.

[cally]

Can fu get fru?

Come on Marco.... :snooker:

[daffie]

Playing very well it seems not to have affected him too much. Maybe even a century!

[PatBlock]

Gutting for Marco.... if he has to put a new tip on it could cost him this match......... just look at how badly it affected Williams in his match.

Hopefully he's got the sense to have one that's been played in, that would help but it's certainly not ideal. Hope it doesn't affect him too much.
