Anyone watching the snooker?

Ronnie won last night and is through to the 1/2 finals

Marco Fu is through to the 1/2 finals also, making him the first from Asia since James Wattana in the '90's. Peter Ebdon has dumped the 2005 World Champion Shaun Murphy out too so the Crucible hoodoo lives on

Can anyone understand anything Graeme Dott (sp?) says?

I'm not sure what part of Scotland he's from, but his accent is sometimes hard to understand.

I would of loved to see a Marco v Ronnie final, or even an Ebdon v Ronnie final

Shame Ronnie got knocked out by Graeme Dott (sp?). Bah

Marco Fu was outstanding, his match with Peter Ebdon (15-9 down then coming back to 16-16 was amazing

Yeah, shame about Fu getting knocked out by Ebdon. I hate that guy. He's too fucking slow. I bet most of his opponents dont lose, but just get fed up with his playing style and walk out.

I didnt mind him against Fu, but against Ronnie a couple of years ago (?) or 2005 he was fucking ridiculous - taking 3/4 mins to take one shot?!! WTF?

Well... once he has annoyed you once, EVERY shot he's going to take will seem like it's overly long.

Just a very annoying player to watch. I dont understand why his opponents dont take any magazines or something with them to the match.

Dott is kind of annoying to watch too TBH.

...which is why I wont be watching the finale

my favourite player is Stephen Hendry, although sadly he is no longer the superhuman snookerplayer he once was...

Dott does deserve respect though, he doesnt have the flair or crowd pleasing game Ronnie has, but getting to a world final is no fluke.
Don't like Hendry - moaner

Geez Grim, just because the guy is loud in bed, doesnt mean you have to make that public...

@ Yi.
Dott's a determined player and all. but looks like a weakling and has a high, squeaky voice, he doesnt have the crowd pleasing antics of Ronnie and isnt such a character.
