What an absolute disgrace not showing the other semi live! Eurosport have now taken over The Beeb with shambolic coverage of snooker! I better switch to Paul de Leeuw live! (Wim and other belgiums know )

they are not showing any of semifinals live, Paul - that's even worse. switch to the rugby world cup

[PaulTheSoave]

Fu and Greene are on now. it is 2-2. Or is it recorded?

@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.

They also met in last year's GP, in the RR phase. Ronnie won 3-2.

[PaulTheSoave]

How went the second semi then? I lost track!!

6-5 Marco Fu

[Scissors61]

^ Yep, missed it, out, but I heard the result. I really want Ronnie to win tomorrow, especially after that amazing comeback against Murphy, which I did see.

I can't wait, it's going to be a great match, and I'd love to see Ronnie take it, he's played so well so far, he can't stop now.
(yes, I'm a massive Ronnie fan).

I'm really going to miss snooker when it ends.

[Anastasia]

you can do it FU .

[doorag]

The way Fu played yesterday he shouldn't stand a chans against a decent playing ROS. Maybe he rises to the occation though!

[Anastasia]

Fu play very well when his opponent is strong .He have a chance to get this title .

[Wim]

Very true; I like to see Fu playing. What an attitude (not as childish as Ding ) ,very talented, taking on risky shots. So we are in a for a great final I hope

[Ekphantos]

I totally agree with Wim, though Fu is also rather robotic in his play.
I can't really see him win though, but I guess the match will be much closer than it would have been against Greene (due to mental strength)
I find it irritating that Fu always waits for quite a while before going down for a shot, after having obviously decided what to play.

Agree. Indeed Fu's attitude is more mature than Dings , but well , he is in the pro circuit since 1998 , while Ding only since 2003 , that means more experience for Marco.
I ve seen only 2 frames of the semifinal last night , so i cant have a proper opinion, but it should be a good match the final today - and if Fu plays better when he's playin ag. a strong opponent , i also hope he gets the best outa Ronnie in the final today. Mon the Rocket!

[Anastasia]

Yes that will be a great final . Two players very diffrents in their play and manners . I like reservebly to Fu .
