Fu is absolutely bossing this match as well.... unbelievable.

[PatBlock]

wow, tip surgery required !

the slow-mo - chalk caught it on an upwards motion

Seemed to come off very easily. I usually have to take a jackhammer to mine.

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.

[daffie]

Ouch! What bad timing indeed.

Selby has been atrocious...i doubt he can play worse if he tried.

[PatBlock]

but thats just what we need, not he's potted that and now he's gonna pot another

That's one of the beauties of snooker, the A-game is lovely to watch and the b/c game gives you drama and tension. You can't loose. :snooker:

Best of all when you get a mix of both of course. Nice century by Marco and now it's 7 - 7. Great stuff.

the frame earlier when Fu tried to open the reds off the blue into the pink on the black spot, Willie called it a poor shot, if it was Selby that missed the bunch he would of said how unlucky he was!!

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

He's a Pita...

Bloody typical of Willie Thorne:

Yesterday (red shaves the bump of middle pocket and doesn't drop) "Oh, my word! How has that not dropped... and people are saying these pockets are easy. Do me a favour."

Today (red hits bump of corner pocket and drops) "What on earth is going on here? That wouldn't have gone in on a nine-ball pool table."

[neuronic]

Again. This sadly is nowhere near the quality of the Ding vs McManus semi...
Expecting Selby to come through, though.

I really hope he's not going to spoil the final...

To be fair to Willie, the middle pockets are playing as tight as usual whereas the corner pockets are playing a lot bigger.

I have wondered about that same thing a lot of times actually. Seems strange indeed it is allowed. Not sure how big a chance there is of damaging the cloth, but still it's possible I feel.

probably more chance in playing a deep screw and ripping the cloth
