Higgins a the only one to do it twice.

What a match!,very enjoyable.


Verrrry well done Mark!. :clap:



Murphy did,nt lose the match just due to the disaster in the 6th frame,but lets put it this way,it certainly did,nt help.His long pottin and a good few unforced errors helped him in losin,especially the many errors he made in that final frame.

I don't like that either. The way Murphy was hugging and smiling at the end, you could be forgiven for thinking he was the winner of the match, not Allen.

Yes agree with that.

Murphy should definately have done better after MSI and he didnt. Did well from 5-2 down to 5-4, but left it too late.

Well done Allen, played well all match, bit twitchy at the end, but that's to be expected.

You definately wont see Ronnie, Higgins, even Hendry in his heyday doing that.

I think I remember Ronnie hugging and smiling with Paul Hunter.

Robbing us of valuable points :sad:

Not me :-)

Yeah, by accident. You meant to put Murphy as the winner <laugh>

I'm not sure what I was thinking yesterday, lol. I knew it was going to be a close match.
