It is on the red button like it has been since 2005. I didn't realise it was 1330 not 1300

They showed the semis and the final which is strange when they could have had the whole event.

Amazing that it is only Maguire and Carter's second meeting and first since 2000.

wonder if Barry Hearn can fix the problem of not starting on time? Rob Walker just started his waffling 8 minutes after the scheduled start of play :wild2:

Why is Carter in the second chair if he is the number 1 seed? Same happened at last years Masters final and I bet the same will happen tonight.

Good Spot, I wonder if where you sit is based on your actual world ranking instead of seeding? prehaps someone more knowledgable will clear this up

the miss rule has got to change.

Maguire got close to a red on his 2nd attempt. that should have been it but peter williamson kept calling bloody miss and handed the frame to carter while carter was sitting on his ass.

Latest

Stephen Maguire 1-3 Ali Carter

Big Petes glasses perched half way down his nose are very annoying. I will be writing to WSA to complain - first thing Monday morning, after I have clipped my nails and sunk a nice moccachino. I urge all fellow snooker fans to do the same. His glasses are a disgrace. <ok>
