Virgo said "Iwanted to watch some racing this afternoon, I'm not even going to catch match of the ****ing day at this rate" or something.

cheers, I should have known it would be Virgo lol He can frustrate people myself included but we'll miss him when he hangs up the mic.

What the hell is so difficult about switching off your phone before you take your seat???

Pretty break now by Selby. He looks better in this session than before during this match.

I'm really not sure we will. He is so damn negative all the time it is really off putting.

We will. Well, I will anyway.

Came out with a cracker the other day during a ball replacement situation, when Dennis asked why they don't just refer to the monitor when one of the players isn't sure. His reply was, "They're referees, Dennis. They don't like being told what to do!" He made no attempt to hide his feelings for referees

Fu is not Chinese, he's from hong Kong.

I think we owe P.Smith an apology. Further confused as to why the commentators keep referring to Marco Fu as being from Hong Kong and Ding from China, I looked up some details. Turns out Hong Kong is indeed considered a separate country to China. They maintain a border, have their own laws, passports and currency.

I didn't laugh when you said Marco wasn't Chinese, but some did

Did they say that 500million people were watching the Ding v McManus match? That's 1 in every 14 people in the world watching snooker.

Does Taylor have an obsession with Vicky?

You bet he has......I feel for her as he can't help himself but talk about "the lovely vicky" a dozen times per game....She must be fed up as hell.

That is an impressive statistic! Mind boggling.

Hoping Fu can get through. I think a Ding Fu final would be great.

[scarfacechen]

Since Fu hasn't a nickname yet, what about Marco the finger Fu?

[Billy]

That is an impressive statistic! Mind boggling.

It will be a very scary place to return to, should he go on to lift the title!

I am very much conflicted as Mark is one of my favorite players, but yes it would be great to see Fu vs Ding in the Final.

[jonny66]

Is it just me or is there a strange lack of tension in this match, even though it's so close?

[Billy]

There certainly is for me as I'm not a fan of either. I hope Fu gets through, but only because I think Ding has a better chance against him than he does Selby.

[snookerfran]

Come on Fu, take it to a decider.
