Disapp0inting to you, maybe. I for one have enj0yed the tournament immensely. And the icing on the cake will be when Ronnie lifts the famous trophy again.
Yeah he says it's disappointing because his favourite player isnt on the event anymore... Had Dott won this event with the rest of the matches paning out as they did here he would say it was a great event...
Last year my least favourite player won the event and I think it was one of the best ever. He just cant watch Ronnie win it....
No there have barely been any close matches, the big names have gone out early leaving huge gaps in the draw. Also the semi finals have been the worst in terms of entertainment that I have ever seen. We all know who the winner will be so there is no tension whatsoever.

Wasn't Robbo 7-14 down to Murphy one year and got himself back to 14-14?
Maybe Mags can do the same. #shamelessoptimism

I wouldn't be surprised that after the morning session, there is no play in the afternoon.

Maguire is too good to lose by this margin, he needs to pick himself up ffs and give carter something to think about, if you come back at carter he will start bottling.

Some of the greatest comebacks are performed at the crucible, I really hope this is one of them.

I know I just want it to become closer. Although Carter is more likely to bottle a match than Murphy is.

It's amazing aint it? he's only been watching snooker for about 1 year and knows lots of stuff already... he says it's the commentators that sometimes say useful things

Carter misses the red and now Maguire has an easy starter.
