I think its quite an interesting line up and I personally like seeing new players live that i havent watched before. Although obviously I do enjoy seeing my faves most!!
And i would not be complaining about going to aberdeen to watch these matches as i wish I was, gutted i'm not going!!

Well to have eveyone agreeing against me ... sometimes (manytimes) I prefer to watch when my fav(s) are not playing. Much more relaxed ... and much more about snooker not emotions (OK I'm a weird one )

Not really Mon ..happens to others too ..but only sometimes . Matches with favs are consuming indeed , to much time spend biting nails and rubbing hands instead of enjoyin the match. Needless to say that when fav is losing..is very hard to enjoy the match ( if not almost impossible).

Oh yeah I know what you mean monique about the emotions etc I totally agree there its a lot more exciting. Just sometimes when u watch a lot of live snooker like me its very interesting to watch different players to the norm.

You are not the only weird one
I like a mixture though, and in this quarter final there are only players I don't like or I don't care about, so that's quite annoying.
I think the Marco Fu match could be interesting, but they are probably not going to show it...

if ronnie loses his match today then i'll probably spend the weekend in the bar

I'll be cryin' in mah hankie...Ronnie should dash to the Wizard of Oz before it's too late and ask him to return his long potting.

And about actually watching snooker when your fav is not playing, I agree whole-heartedly. I enjoyed all the matches shown on Tuesday and Wednesday, really did. Feet up, coffee by my side, savouring the atmosphere and the competition.
For it's darn hard to watch a match when you're peeking from behind your fingers.

For going to England, Liu Song sold his apartment. A couple days ago Liu said if he couldn't advance to the second round he had to leave England Because he couldn't afford the monthly cost of living in England. After last game, he said he could support to the end of this season by the 7000 pounds reward.

Come on, Liu,beat FU.

By the way, anybody in England can tell me how much I have to pay If I want to get a jersey of Cesc Fabregas?

I didn't mean to insult anyone Maija. I said WE, including myself there. I have made similar comments in the past. I didn't miss the sentence previous to the one I quoted, I can read well.
I am sorry you took it personally, and I resent the personal attack.

Don't worry Nina - just a little emotion of someone in the Post Higgins Period of a tournament

Hat off to the guy! I wish him all the best in his snooker career.
