Hawkins look huge at 3/1 in some places. Really looks up for it and Ronnie's safety is a mess.

Random questions that I should know the answer to after watching for so many years.
Do players get to use the same table for the first 3 rounds, i.e., is the top half of the draw one table and the bottom half of the draw the other table.
Or does it swap around from game to game, or even from session to session within a game?

So which is table one and which is table two?
Table one is the right hand table as you look on the television – table two the left. Table one houses the number one seed and the top half of the draw, table two houses the number two seed and the bottom half of the draw.

Just flicking over to the other game now and again and it's s strange one. 7 in a row for Wilson, then 5 in a row for Allen, and then 4 in a row for Wilson. Allen really should have taken the last frame. Huge mountain to climb now.

Trump could gather toys back into pram with the overnight break. He got rode hard with Ding's ball-run, but if he had been more focussed then the score would have been a lot closer. Shows a fair bit of arrogance just throwing the cue at shots in a huff.
On the plus side,conceding out of turn rudely could be a motivator for trump to come in today and bash him up.Low fee Euro/UK money transfer, 1st transfer free through my referral

Looking at the last 6 years on wiki theres been two or three of the eight second round games over 3 days, and for six years running Ronnies game has been one of those regardless of his seeding.

Cant believe the prices on offer all through the match on Hawkins. First signs of pressure in that one. Be interesting to see how he holds his nerve if Ronnie wins the next.

Crazy that 8 of the 10 top seeds failed to make it to the QF. Never been such an open tournament at the crucible ever.

Ah Murray is good, he gets some awful stick for his darts presenting which if anything is the most appropriate for his style. A bit tanned for a norn irn head. Has moor blood imo.
Im kinda disappointed in Dominic Dales commentary. Hes quite poor and overly judgemental which is something that he says he hates in other snooker commentators from a podcast I heard him in recently. He's breaking every rule of commentary he speaks in that piece.

I agree with Sitch and Rounders. I like his style, and I think snooker has a 'mood' anymore. They're trying to make it more of a lads thing to bring in the younger crowd and Murray shows a bit of passion. I like his darts style too
Re Dominic Dale. He's horrible. Also very biased towards certain players and unprofessional to a degree in commentary. Mike Hallet has lost the plot too. Miscalling so many shots, and don't get me started on Joe Johnson.

Murray's tone and delivery are jarring for me, Dennis Taylor augments the action rather than shouting over it. Virgo can fcuk right off with his wheres the cue ball going, willie Thornes bitterness over his life failure comes through, Dale v similar. Would be prejudiced against Ebdon and Hendry cos of how much of a horrible cnut they both were while playing, hendry's snooker insights are quality enough to get him a pass, Ebdons not a chance. Beeb commentators years ago slotted in perfectly to the whole ecosystem.Low fee Euro/UK money transfer, 1st transfer free through my referral

Found a clip, and Fu's reaction from his press conference when quizzed on it.
Stupid time stamp doesn't work in here - 1m20s for 1st clip, 2m59s for 2nd clip
Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
Marco Fu has lost to Mark Selby in the semi final of the Betfred World Snooker Championship.It means Mark Selby will be facing Ding Junhui in the 2016 final
While looking for this, i ended up watching a good few more clips. Some of my favourites...

When your opponent is so inferior, so hopeless, and let's not forget, such a terrible sportsman with his petty gamesmanship....sometimes all you can do is laugh
'How d'ya swalla free undred faasand John'. John Higgins taunted by a heckler (who gets kicked out).
One of the reasons i've always hated Dott. He should have just played a foul himself straight away. Don't even get me started on that smug cunt Alan Chamberlain. Always hated him, and he hates Selby and just loved his moment in the spotlight.
I'm referring to the second one, since the ref states it didn't leave the table. Contraversial.The match was a second round match between Mark Selby and Grae...

Here's the Allen story for anyone that might have missed it.
