Marco Fu beats Ronnie O'Sullivan! COME ON YOU FU!

Quote :

Marco Fu won the Royal London Watches Grand Prix with a 9-6 victory over Ronnie O'Sullivan in Sunday's final.

The Hong Kong potter produced a magnificent comeback from 5-3 down, winning six of the last seven frames to claim the maiden ranking title of his career.

Fu rolled in breaks of 78, 110 and 74 to open an early 3-1 lead, but O'Sullivan immediately hit-back with runs of 127 and 75 to ensure he finished the afternoon session with a 4-3 advantage.

That became 5-3 when the Englishman edged the opening frame in the evening, and at that point looked in total control.

But Fu suddenly found his fluency, winning a tactical ninth and then rolling in a break of 94 in the next to level at 5-5.

And it got better for the world number 27 as a superb 117 clearance allowed him to edge 6-5 ahead.

A composed run of 62 was enough to take Fu within two frames of victory, but O'Sullivan pulled back within one frame with a high-quality contribution of 65.

However, Fu regained the initiative by pinching the 14th with a clearance of 60 and then sealed victory with a match-winning 76 in 15th frame.

"It's not sunk in yet," admitted Fu. "Ronnie has made this night very special for me.

"He's my idol and he's the best player in the world."

O'Sullivan was gracious in defeat, saying: "He played well. He's a great lad and he deserves this."

Anyone fancy a game of snooker?

Something about the lawyers on here tonight - James, not sure if you've noticed but that smiley is bouncing a ball and there is no cue in sight. Just an observation.

Waiting for IanG to supply a snooker smiley...

Your wish as they say.......

Snooker loopy nuts are we
Me and him and them and me
We'll show you what we can do
With a load of balls and a snooker cue

Pot the reds then, skrew back
For the yellow green brown blue pink and black
Snooker loopy nuts are we
We're all snooker loopy

Now ol' Milo as we all know's
Got loadsa dappa suits
London bred and he keeps his head
'Though he's got Italian roots
Emotional but he keeps his cool
'Til he reaches the finals
And whether he wins or whether he don't
'I always bite me eyeballs'

Now our friend Den, hours he spent
Down the snooker hall
On the old green baize his mates seem amazed
At skills with a snooker ball
And them long shots, he never ever got
Why? The old mind boggles
But nowadays he pots the lot
'Cos I wear these goggles'

Snooker loopy nuts are we
Me and him and them and me
We'll show you what we can do
With a load of balls and a snooker cue

Pot the reds then, skrew back
For the yellow green brown blue pink and black
Snooker loopy nuts are we
We're all snooker loopy

Now Terry the taff was born in a gaff
In the valleys of the land of song
And as the reds he puts to bed
He likes to sing along
And if I win he says with a grin
It can only help me can't it
I'll celebrate, I'll buy another eight
'Hairbrushes for me barnet'

Now old Willy Thorne his hair's all gone
And his mates all take the rise
His opponent said cover up his head
Cos it's shining in my eyes
When the light shines down on his bare crown
It's a cert he's gonna walk it
It's just not fair giving off that glare
'Perhaps I ought to chalk it'

Snooker loopy nuts are we
Me and him and them and me
We'll show you what we can do
With a load of balls and a snooker cue

Pot the reds then, skrew back
For the yellow green brown blue pink and black
Snooker loopy nuts are we
We're all snooker loopy

Now Steve last year come very near
To winning the snooker crown
But he never got to put it on his ginger nut
Cos the black ball wouldn't go down
His manager of all said 'Sod that ball'
But it helped him make his mind up
Now he don't care who wins this year
'Cos he's got the rest of us signed up'

Snooker loopy nuts are we
Me and him and them and me
We'll show you what we can do
With a load of balls and a snooker cue

Pot the reds then, skrew back
For the yellow green brown blue pink and black
Snooker loopy nuts are we
We're all snooker loopy

Snooker loopy nuts are we
Me and him and them and me
We'll show you what we can do
With a load of balls and a snooker cue

Pot the reds then, skrew back
For the yellow green brown blue pink and black
Snooker loopy nuts are we
We're all snooker loopy

Snooker loopy nuts are we
We're all snooker loopy

Snooker loopy nuts are we.....
We're all snooker loopy

Anybody here loves to play snooker? I've been playing the game regularly since 2003 and Mark J Williams is always my snooker hero.

I still keep playing 2-3 times per month rite now.

Always welcome to play with you guys anywhere though my highest break is only 38

Sounds like a plan once I'm back.

Prefer a game of pool myself but not adverse to it!
