UK Championship final discussion!

I thought he feathered the green on his first attempt as well, but I'm sure he'd have owened up for it. He was probably too focused on the cueball.

As someone else mentioned, Fu has done that before - at a crucial stage of WC semi final with Ebdon. Snooker is renowned for players owning up to fouls, but when Fu did that, I have to say even though i bet on Fu, I then changed to wanting Murphy to win. Just like in the Ebdon game, justice was done.

Murphy gets the luck at the right time followed by wobbling the black and then doubling a red!

Well done to Murphy - Overall the better player, I think he had favourable run of the balls on the whole, but fu had a share as well - I think the difference was Fu missing balls in middle pockets and he's still not able to do power shots, but he is still a very good player.

And that's it. Tough luck for Marco, although he played well below his standard just like Murphy.

Congratulations to Shaun and very unlucky and well played to Marco great tournament.

Would have been ridiculously unlucky for Shaun to lose after Marco fouled that green. Ultimate justice. Best player won.

What a joke

[Billyboy]

Good comment from shaun there if I am on the right tracks

No one tipped me apart from willy thorne on the first day haha

Thrilling final frame, but the way Murphy got over the line in that final frame was not pretty!

[RocketRoy1983]

Murphy talking to the fans allowing photos to be taken by them by turniong towards them is something I personally want to see more in the game. Such an amazing individual well done Shaun!

[Darth_Spud]

Oh well another terrible final finished, I suppose Murphy played the better of the two but I find him so annoying: as a player and a person, he just has one of those faces!!

Then completely ignoring them when they try and speak to him?

[JiangYu]

Well, at least Marco is in the Top 8 now. He's provisionally 6th.

[spike]

Yeah i noticed that too

Fu was unlucky in the final frame but he did have his chances and failed to take them. What can we say? Murphy played better snooker in the final IMO. How FU managed to hang on was incredible.

whats that got to do with anything (it doesn't matter anyway because shaun played on) its unsportsman like and straight forward cheating you should always call your fouls no matter what. it doesn't mean because shaun played on marco can keep shtum.

I´m not certain that he actually did see or feel it, as he was focusing on getting up so he wasn´t in the way for the white ball, but I would love to see the situation again. The ball nearly didn´t move, so he might not have felt it. But if he was aware then offcause he should have called it.
