Congratulations to Mark Allen. Great win. Very well done.
And... I never said Ronnie will demolish him. I said I thought it would be close but that Ronnie would win in the end. I was wrong but never rubbished him.
Also Shaun Murphy advances and will play Hendry in the next round...Fu was a shadow and Murph punished him bad....
I wonder what Murph detractors are going to say now ......
EDIT Finished the match in style with a century

Murphy is just too good. I think Marco is going to be like how Ali Carter is to O'Sullivan. I'm also shocked by O'Sullivan's departure. I thought he would win by a margin of 13-7. Now I will route for Hendry.

Yes, as said before those who play their best stuff in the first round aren't normally the ones to watch - it's those who get better as the tournament goes on.
You virtually summed it up. The amount of chances Fu had he could have 13-3. The big frame was the second when he missed the easy black clearing up.
Great performance from Allen and great scenes at the end. I wonder if a thread will open up saying how disgraceful his actions were?
If you ask me..they were, but others may think differently. For me it seems like instigating the crowd and imo this is not a proper thing to do....

Bang On Mark!
Possibly best match of the WC so far...
Winning into the quarters over O'Sullivan is great but
earning a whole new level of fan support in fist-pumping style is priceless.
No great surprise for me that Ronnie has lost. He has never successfully defended a world title, masters title or UK title so I didn't expect him to be crucible champion this year.
