Coward!!!!

I know, I am aren't i!! Couldnt have done that if i was in the arena! I text kellie halfway through saying oh so glad i'm not there now i've just text saying wish i was there!! haha

[Fuu]

Exactly!
So that's the trick,then. Never cheer for you favourites, only the ones you're not too bothered with

but but but... how could I possibly NOT cheer for selby/dale/higgins...? sounds like a mission impossible to me...
we gotta find another way.

[Sam147]

Awww, I bet you say that to all the girls who score snooker matches online for you

well, no one has seen me thru such a great comeback by Ronnie so your bet is void

thanks again, Maija

Well,that's the catch I guess, 'cos not cheering for my favourites seems pretty impossible for me too, unless they're out of the tournament...
Hmmm....how are we gonna solve this?

We secretly trade people to cheer for

@Sam: You are most welcome

Put some money on who you dislike?

fantastic idea. we should open a: cheer for my favourite -thread. you get my fav to cheer for, I get yours...
couldn't that work?

Does anyone have a head to head record between Fu and O'Sullivan as I think Fu has a decent track record over him. I know of the 2003 WC 1st round win and a Premier League win but I can't think of any other meetings.

Not sure the money I (might) win will make up for the fact that my favourites are out, though...

I like this idea But it might involve a lot of effort just to find someone to cheer for your favs' opponents every single match they play

hallelujah, yeah, there is a lot to consider -.- difficult.

Never been so happy to be wrong Was routing for Ronnie and was very impressed with his performance, he didnt let the fact that the initial luck went a little Murphy's way (although he played very well) get to him.

I know that Fu actually beat him in reaching the final of this tournement 9 years ago.
Fu has a good record against him but i'm sure O'Sullivan has beaten him as well.

@Alex:

From ROS' site:
2002/03 Regal Welsh Open: Q/Finalist - lost 5-3 to Marco Fu
2002/03 Embassy World Championship: Last 32 - lost 10-6 to Marco Fu
2002/03 Premier League: S/Finalist - lost 6-4 to Marco Fu

2006/07 China Open Ronnie O'Sullivan - Marco Fu 5-3


What I can find anyway. It would have been ever so nice to have these things available.

4-1 to Fu then. Not so onesided then as people may have predicted although Fu still has to negotiate past Greene

[PaulTheSoave]

Disgraceful behaviour! Coming on the board after the result! This calls for a ban!
