2010 Fantasy World Snooker Competition

[Shaggy365]

Over to you, Shaggy

Righty dokey then.

Here's the league table at the end of the second round.

[Shaggy365]

Just watched Ronnie's interview after the Williams match.

"If anyone else asks me that question, I'm going to stop the interview."

He's not in the best frame of mind to take the title, and not a very happy bunny. He's probably in the same frame of mind as when he just walked out against Stephen Hendry a few years ago mid-match and just conceded.

Wish I hadn't picked him now.

[Knulpuk]

Blinking flipping Ding

[murf]

3 through. Should ensure top half respectability. If Gould hadn't blown it I'd be laughing.....

[blahblah]

Selby and ROS

Effing Ebdon, Effing Higgins

Tossed the mental coin between Dott and Ebdon, as I wanted someone I didn't like.......

[workie-ticket]

with just one bloke through to the quarters i could very well be bottom by the end of this - or at the ver yleast bottom of the FISOers

never mind. always next year!

[Darbyand]

Just watched Ronnie's interview after the Williams match.

"If anyone else asks me that question, I'm going to stop the interview."

And the question was a very innocuous "are you your harshest critic?".

A Selby-Murphy final -to be won by the Jester from Leicester- please.

[Surprised]

I think i will be bottom of the FISO league!

[workie-ticket]

for what it's worth, i think the semi line-up will be robertson v murphy and selby v allen

in which case i will hope for a robertson v selby final

[murf]

for what it's worth, i think the semi line-up will be robertson v murphy and selby v allen

I hope you are wrong as that would mean my 3 remaining Essex Boys all losing!

[murf]

Pincher is the exact middleman in the overall table (84th of 167)
20 FISOers in the top half
1 FISOer in the bottom half.

We know our snooker!

(OK, we know how to play fantasy games...)

[Jules]

for what it's worth, i think the semi line-up will be robertson v murphy and selby v allen

in which case i will hope for a robertson v selby final

I hope so. My 3 remaining players are Allen, Robertson and Selby. Gutted Higgins failed to beat a 52 year-old has-been, otherwise I'd be in with a great chance. I can no longer win as bluenose has the same players as me (plus Ronnie) and is too far in front, but I can still finish in a Champions League spot

[ShadyOne]

for what it's worth, i think the semi line-up will be robertson v murphy and selby v allen

Let's hope so, would mean I had all four semi finalists and this competition in the bag! I fear Mark Allen may lose out to Dott though and who knows which Ronnie will turn up against Selby.

[workie-ticket]

i'm not a fan, but frankly i think mark allen will wipe the floor with dott...

davis needs a good opening session to have any chance v robertson

[Mike_]

I don't know whats been worse - Steve Davis's standard of play or John Virgo's commentary

[bluenosey]

Not meaning to be smug but I am considerably higher than yow (lot)

PS Shaggy - Just spotted the name B Baer. His FISO moniker is "The Bear", so he needs to be added to the FISO league if possible. I'll do the 2nd round results later tonight.

[workie-ticket]

realistically i would have thought davis will do well to take that game to a third session!

ok - i was one match early!

[workie-ticket]

dott 10-8 up!

could the unfashionable Scot be on his way to his second World title?

[Darbyand]

I'll do the 2nd round results later tonight.

Don't need to see them. Hammered by shadyone. Well selected fella.

Cheers Darbyand, all those hours bent over a spreadsheet of the draw working out the permutations paid off.

if you ask me that's just cheating!

[murf]

I found it easier to just decide to buy all 4 Essex players and see who I could afford with the change.

[Jules]

dott 10-8 up!

You jinxed him! 12-10 to Allen suits me fine

[workie-ticket]

rats! odds-on allen and murphy both through to the semi's.

hopefully the "other two" (i.e. robertson and winner of o'sullivan/selby) will be the finalists.

Talk about curse it! Allen out and Murphy being pegged back. My dreams of having all 4 semi finalists is over, but at least it makes things more exciting.

[workie-ticket]

my tipping this year has been about as competent as my performance in the fantasy snooker competition!

My smug grim has been erased by pin head Dott

So does that mean I'm through to the final then as Jules has the same 3 players I have, except my bonus player Murphy is already on positive points?! Good game Jules.

I think we may well meet in the final. From my point of view, I need Murphy to crash out to Carter and O Sullivan to overhaul Selby. If Ronnie doesn't win, I'm toast
