Murphy the favourite for me. He played better than Robbo today.

What did JV say this time?

This ref is top class.

Very well done Alex Crisan :hatoff:


You seem to be a big fan of this referee. Is he a relative of yours?


No, it's another reason I won't be telling here, at least not now.

But the ref is top class and he was right in saying to that hammer not to have his flash on the camera, maybe not the most appropriate time when Allen was preparing to cue but anwyay.

Yes, I remember that match. Must have been one of the poorest UK finals I've ever seen in terms of standard.

Yes Skull made a good point, but this Murphy is diferent so he wont roll over that easily.

Saying that, I really cant see him beating Robbo over 19 frames. I'll be surprised if Murphy gets to 7 or 8 frames to be fair.

Allen almost didnt score in the 6 frames on the bounce he lost.

This was Murphy scoring like in 2005 Worlds, only with a much better safety game.

Should be a cracking final if both players produce their usual high standard they showed us so far.

Yeah SO but that will put even more pressure on him. Robbo already won this and has a much better record over Shaun.

Robbo will win it I think, cant see Murphy beating him, but like you (I think) i'll be rooting for Murphy all the way, he DEFINATELY deserves to have the Triple Crown events.

I dont think Murphy will replicate this sort of form in the Final, whereas Robbo will maintain his usual very high standard which will be good enough to earn him a 2nd Masters title.

For Murphy to win it he would have to play out of his skin all the match, and I dont think he can do it over 19 frames against Robbo.

But Murphy getting the 3rd of the TC , I wouldn't complain about.


If Murphy wins he deserves it because Robertson is at the peak of his powers.
