First Maguire hammers Hendry and after that he retires. It doesn't get any worse than that for a fan.

Wait until the day Ronnie gets hammered and then definately retires

I think when Peter Ebdon retires there will be a sadder reaction.

Only because Ebdon would take a longer time thinking about it.

Good one

Hope Maguire doesn't feel like he caused it.

There's a reason why he isn't top16 anymore and hasn't won a ranking title ever.

Yes I never was a fan but there will be something missing in the future. Most players don't retire after reaching a Crucible quarter final but that's probably better than retiring after losing to a qualifier like John Parott for example.

Similiar to the session of snooker he played in the Shanghai Masters final where he lost 10-6 from 6-2 up

Hendry made it pretty clear he'd decided to go long before the match. Maguire just needs to get on with the semis now.

Thanks to Matt from prosnookerblog for providing this to me as I managed to mess up my own recording.

At least Maguire saved Hendry from retiring on Jimmy's birthday

I'm pretty sure that Maguire would have let him win if he knew about the retiring plans.

No I mean thinking Hendry retired because of him, although Hendry did say that it was planned for a three months.

Yes he would have said: here take this match and win another world title, you need it more than I do.
