I think this was a crucial moment of the match. Joe wasted a HUGE chance to be in front.
Can't see how can he turn the things around now.

I think if Hendry got his cue he could beat either of these guys right now...

I'd give Murphy's new bird a solid 5/10.

I think they've both missed more than they have potted.
It is, both players so so bad its unbelievable really.
only Wild is enjoying this, according to him its exciting
both look like amateurs out there. I would have been enjoying this if it was a long match BUT with great safety and great tactical play, but this is just marmite play

Hendry was worse than this in his last match against Maguire. I don't see how he could have improved in retirement.

Stephen Hendry:
"They've both been pretty poor, I think I'm going to get my cue out"
This guy, is a legend!!

And SO was right a while ago, this is why Allen hasnt won any Majors in his career, how can he play this bad after such a great performance... A Ronnie, Robbo, Higgins and Hendry at their prime would have won this 6-0 by now given how Perry is playing.

Either that or he's banging a top model right now, or he's 15, or he's jealous, I'll let you pick one.

It's as much of a fluke as his performance today. Perry is a solid pro.
Just unfortunate they both picked the same day to play like a potato.

He won't, it's just a friendly bit of banter because Ronnie is cleaning up and Hendry know's deep down the reason for that is the lack of quality on the circuit right now.
It's funny.

We clearly have different definitions of journeymen. I'm guessing you're classing as someone who doesn't win all the time (or at all), which is a fair description of Perry but he has got quite close and can play very well.
I'm using the more common definition of snooker, players who basically just turn up to the venues because they can play well in the cubicles and have no/very little chance of beating the top players aka a Peter Lines, Alfie Burdn etc.

Anyway, I have a feeling Perry might win this match, as he seems the stronger player since the MSI.
Of course he could always twitch when the winning line approaches.

I can't call this match, don't think anyone can. All I do know is that the players on next should be warned of a delay in start lol

Thats exactly what I think will happen, mind you though there's less pressure on him now since he finally won a match at Masters, but still he wants to win this obviously.
