Tbqh I think Allen plays better when he plays at a quicker pace, but it's understandable why he's taking his time.

I slammed Allen for for his long potting earlier. I commend him on that phenomenal stun to left corner.

Shot on the pink for position on the black.
Murphy may have offered up plenty of chances, but at the end of the day you still have to pot the balls and Allen did that.

Should be a close match tomorrow. Allen will be seeking for revenge after that loss in the IO final 2014.

2 players who have never won in England, should be a good final.

I like this ref. Was funny how he said "23" so loud because the crowd was applauding.
I also like Allen too, good to see him make a final. Would be disappointing if he now lost to Walden though.

What are you talking about Ricky doesn't choke finals
He doesn't get there as often as some but when he does he wins

masterdoctorgenius talks some garbage! An obsession with 'choking' and 'mental midgets' as he calls them!
The players at the top end of the professional game simply wouldn't be where they are if they didn't have plenty bottle.
They wouldn't have progressed beyond the amateur ranks if they didn't have the ability to thrive under pressure. These are all players thriving in the top 16 of the ultra competitive professional game.
Also, beating a player in one round but then losing in the following match doesn't necessarily mean that the player 'choked'. He may simply have been beaten. Nor is every missed pot 'a blob'.
Appreciate how difficult the sport is and the enormous financial rewards they're playing for - misses happen, it's part of the game and is what makes it exciting.
You're just sounding so butt-hurt that Ronnie didn't qualify for this. It's so predictable.
