Dafabet Masters Round 1 : Ding Junhui v Shaun Murphy

I doubt there'll be as many long frames as yesterday's match though.

Not so sure, yes some frames could be fast scoring stuff but I reckon there will also be a few safety exchanges that might make the match longer.

Not that I don't it want it to happen, as I hope it's a close and good match.

Will it definately start at 2.15 or will they still wait for the Beeb to finish "Lesbians Discuss Flowers"?

It finishes at 2.15. Let's hope there's no 15 minute preamble from Hazel and co and they get started right away.

Right, snooker time. Finally.

hendos beard is a shocker

It's Supersmurph!

In hour of Shaun's walk on music:

Finally underway!

Really hope Murphy wins today, could do with a few wins on the big stage to get some confidence back.

Didn't bother with the Maguire/Perry game when I was at the Ally Pally yesterday

taylor - their evenly matched

yeah right you old dinosaur

This is a match where i,m really not bovered who wins as i like both bout the same.



Shauns definatley looking better now that he,s lost 10 stone and Dings looks much better with his new hair-do,looks a lot better than the mop he had.

Good 99 to start from Ding. Looks like he's ready for this.

Ding playing almost perfect snooker at the moment.

Murphy pulls it back to 2-1, 3 frames in 37 minutes they're not messing about

Very negative there from Ding,why did,nt he try an Alex Higgins blue!.

He's saving it for when he's 5-4 down.

Less than an hour to get to the MSI. Top stuff. Could still go all the way.

Well after losing that frame he,ll probably be thinkin,"yeah,i should of gone for that blue".

Ding been extraordinarily lucky this frame.

Ding has now started to blow a good few chances too,maybe he,s feelin guilty after having a tremendous amount of the run of the ball.

Luck starting to turn for Shaun after that fluke, but possibility of a respot still on.

4-3. Game back on

what a red

dinggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

Shame the one after was so poor.

Since that tremendous run o the balls bout from Ding,he,s gone off the boil,it,s as if it,s put him off his concentration and felt sorry for Shaun.



No matter how much run o the ball,lucky nudges,cannons whatever you get,you really should capatalise,i know i would,nt be feeling sorry.

Careless snooker from both off them this frame.

BL**DY NORA,WTF is goin on!!,both missin one pot after another!.

Has someone swapped out the real Smurph and Ding with random people off the street or something?

Well as i wrote before,all these pots they,ve missed has definately got to do with Dings run o the ball.



It actually put Ding off,made him lose his concentration and Shauns never been the same since that crazy run o the ball from Ding started,:roll:

Smurph shakes off the carelessitis the fastest to level 4-4. Will Eggheads interrupt the tenth frame or the decider?
