Terrible call by Verhaas...

Wow, I hope that decision doesn't cost Marco the match. The cue ball definitely hit black first

Terrible call by Verhaas...

He called it correctly then overturned it because of the scorer saying it hit the red first. Time for video evidence in snooker!!

Hell yeah, fortunately it didn't prevent Fu from winning the frame and the match but what a terrible mistake that was. Imagine the frame went Perry's way, that would've been daylight robbery.

How do people from Hong Kong get on with the folk from China? not well it seems if your judging this incident from the scorer

Fascinating match. :smile: Not so great in terms of quality, but how many frames in this last session were decided on the colours? Fu was 5-2 down at one point, so he won the remainder of the match 7-3... Perry just wasted too many chances in the end, and I'm sure he will be disappointed to perform like that in a major semi-final.

As for Fu, we were all saying how well he was playing and that he could possibly win the title. He still might, but with a performance like that he will definitely start as the underdog against Ding now, and probably the same if he plays Dott. Looking forward to that second semi... :smile:

Will it be 9 ranking finalists out of 10 from Asia and Australia this season, or 8 out of 10? Either way it's been a great start to the season for that part of the world and a pretty poor one for the UK.

Well just finished watching the records of Fu/Perry, what a match could have gone either way right to the end.
Just checked British Eurosport schedules for tomorrow and Sunday and all sessions are live
Thank you Eurosport, for not short changing us snooker fans at the final weekend of a tournament.
I don't know exactly Eurosport viewing figures breakdown by sport, but if all TSF members (those who can that is, sorry ) get the numbers up then Eurosport will stay with the sport across the season

Holy cow Graeme that was one of the top 5 worst shots I've ever seen! Pull yourself together cause it'll be one-way traffic if you leave the scrappy frames to Ding...

[cyberheater]

It's going to be a Fu vs Ding in the final and Ding will win. 3 on the bounce.
