God damnit.

[Fuu]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I officially start to hate middle pockets.

[Fuu]

JIHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! thanks snookersfun, you did it you did it you did it
(also huge YAY for ryan, eventhough I also like ken)
and now if the chinese guy could just... maybe...

I'd so like that *blushes*

[The Boss]

Let's hope Ding can punch up the Baby in the decider to make it 3 perfect scores for the Boss today

[PaulTheSoave]

predicted a decider on this one, but forgot which one

My lucky dip man Day is through and Selby looks the man of the season. Is it going to be his 3rd tournament win in 2008!

[snookersfun]

decider coming up in the Murphy-Ding game

[Rane]

Sorry hadn´t seen the reply above.

Selby at 122 Is he on a max ?

[snookersfun]

5-3 Day v Doherty
3-5 Carter v Allen
3-5 Fu v Selby
4-3 Murf v Ding

yaaaaayyy! Selby through! good work Fuu! the steal by Fu in the last frame was a bit of a heartstopper, but final result is just great And what a way to finish this up (127?)
and yay, Day through as well

He wasn't favourite to beat Stephen Hendry at the crucible at the bookies last week, but he should be now!

almost toss of a coin

and even if he's not. Very aggresive player, very strong.

I used to watch him play at my club in Antrim when I was about 18 and he was about 11. He had the touch even then. Very fluent and solid breakbuilder and his game has built a lot in the last two years.

From not being on the main tour a couple of years ago, getting in the top 16 is some achievement.
Tough match next game in theory, but the way Murphy and Ding have played today, they could be there for the taking.

allen wins 5-3

guys doing great this season

I can see him winning a tournament or two next time if he's in the top16.

Meanwhile Doherty levels 3-3.

[snookersfun]

did we just all get booted from here as well? Not easy to follow snooker...

update:
3-2 Day v Doherty
3-4 Carter v Allen
2-3 Fu v Selby
2-3 Murf v Ding

edit: and Mark Allen (3-5) now the first one through. Awww, my lucky dip is out, but: Allen's win means 2 points for me
