Any one watching the world champs! (snooker) ** spoilers **

Ronnie just makes snooker look so easy when he's in full flow. He's a complete natural when he plays, doesn't take long at all to work out his shots. The guy just seems to know exactly what will happen when he takes a shot. One of the most talented players ever obviously...

As much as I like Dott for his quiet determination (well not always quiet "COME ON!!!), he isn't the most exciting player in the world, nor is Ebdon. A final without Ronnie or Fu will be very boring imo.
 
Ebdon is playing the best snooker out of anyone in the Championship atm. He looks fairly unbeatable. Ronnie will have to up his game to beat him, and I reckon he's the only player that could.
 
To be fair he's not been so boring this time round (even though some gimp heckled him). He's made the most centuries! Or had until tonight anyway. Ronnie may have caught him now.

Fu was the one playing particularly defensively when the crowd were being restless.

Looks like your wish will be granted. Ronnie has lost the will to compete and is 7-0 down in this morning's session. I'm surprised he's not wearing a towel yet. :(

As long as Ebdon doesn't play like he did in the first session of the semis (the 'watching paint dry' comment was accurate, if inappropriate), then it'll not be that bad. I'm not expecting the most entertaining of finals though. :(

Glad I chose to order tickets for last weekend and watch Ronnie playing the game to win, rather than Ronnie playing like he is doing today.
 
Ronnies completely lost it today :( such a shame as the guy on form is the best player around (if not the best of all time) but his mental state of mind is all over the place.

Been awful to watch today like watching a bloke mentally unravel in front of you.

Time to lump on Ebbo down the bookies for the title as Dotts not good enough to beat him.
 
Was watching steve davis play poker online last night, got him to slip a superman gag into the bbc commentary today, not sure if anyone picked it up but I was wetting myself!

fivek is steve davis.

Now there was some normal chatter going on and then some guy comes out with

[Observer]chapsigh> steve, who would win between o sullivan now and alex higgins in his hayday?

So I had to ask

me> steve, who would win a fight.. superman or spiderman?

fivek> oooooh!
fivek> spiderman is good ..... but ....

Then some guy called resolve is giving him crap saying its not him so he gets the idea of proving it on tv tomorrow!

[Observer]Resolve> fivek if u genuine mention resolve on your commentary on the snooker
fivek> ok resolve I'll try to remember
fivek> as in "I've got a headache and need some resolve this mornig " or 2this is a difficult situation to resolve"?

Then I throw in the old superman spiderman gag as an idea.

me> pick a line now mate and get it in for us
me> talk about ronnie o sullivan and dott being like spiderman vs superman
fivek> OK I'll say t's like spiderman versus superman and nobody can predict a winner!
me> when u on steve? gotta listen out for this
me> !!
fivek> 1st chance I get
fivek> think its 1 or 1.30 on grandstand hopefully me ad john will get to say something before the start

He actually said "I was talking to some fans over breakfast who compared this match to a fight between spiderman and superman, two players with very different skills coming together"... something along those lines.

Yes, I did spot it. Now I know why. :cool:

He was too busy rushing between studio and Cue Zone for me to get a word in on Tuesday. :(
 
Fu wins 3 on the trot this afternoon to pull it back to 15-12, Ebdon must be getting a little worried ;)

I think Dott is still pretty underrated, he played very very well 2 years ago before Ronnie thrased him in the final, he has a very good chance this time around.
 
Really unlucky Fu.

Excellant last frame from Ebdon he put absolutely everything into it.

Cracking match. Dont think the final will top that :)
