303

Yeah was watching it myself. Fu fell over the line. Was very negative near the end

304

Jamie Cope has booked his place in the last 4 with a 6-1 win over Mark King in a disappointing match.

Junhui Ding beat Graham Dott 6-3 earlier

Great scenes there with Ding Junhui taking victory in the Masters Final with a 10-4 victory over the gracious Marco Fu.

Mark Allen calling it as he sees it against that utter cunt Barry Hearns :clap:

"The players don’t really matter, so **** the players.
"When Barry came in, one of the first things he said was that the World Championships, UK and Masters wouldn’t be touched. Only 18 months later, the UK format has changed.
"I don’t think he’s pleasing too many players, but anyone who voted for him has only got themselves to blame. I wasn’t one of them.
"I’ve got no doubt he’ll tweak the World Championship. Barry’s just there to make money for himself, it doesn’t really matter about the players. The whole tradition of the game is going to pot.
"It’s not all about bringing people in to watch and have a good time, shouting and having a drink.
“He (Hearn) needs to get away from the darts factor. It’s getting close to that. I think in the long run he’ll probably do good for snooker, but not for my generation. It’s time to let someone else have a go.”

313

Incredibly scrappy opening frame going on between O’Sullivan and Selby. Both missed very easy pots

314

Great to see Ronnie back in some good form. He reminds me of binocular :cool:

315

As far as I’m aware, Ronnie has never taken any performance enhancing substances FP :slight_smile:

316

:lol:

DB, check your PMs

Ken Doherty is playing Anthony Hamilton with the winner qualifying for the Crucible. Doherty currently leads 9-8 but Hamilton looks in a very good position to make it 9-9 and a deciding frame.

Christ, the years have not been kind to The Sheriff of Nottingham.

Let’s hope the Darling of Dublin can get over the line here.
