Not really.

I meant Nicklaus and Palmer, soz

Remember when some of u guys said that Allen will never win a major tourney again ?
viewtopic.php?f=25&t=7468

It said a ranker.
Is this a ranker?

No, but to me this is more important than any ranker, bar the WC

Judd Trump: "I don't like playing anyone."

Mark Allen: "I don't care who I play."

And therein lies the difference.

It says a tanker. This is an overrated invitational.

I agree totally, but - much like my unfortunate golf slip earlier - you have failed to read the article correctly.
Very easily done

pin end

I think Kyren would much rather face Allen than HIggins

This is the best tourney after the WC: one table setup and only the top 16 players in it, no numpties allowed

Ryan Day.

Plus the venue is very nice and so is the trophy

The roll of honor very much tells us only the very best win this event.

You can't flatter to deceive in The Masters. Even the easiest draw is full of top 16 players. That's what makes it so prestigious.

U guys remember that ugly piece o coal that used to be the Welsh Open trophy ???

It should be open to eight players and all matches should be multiple sessions. Then it would deserve the praise it gets

I mean Allen.

Good to see a final not feature Ronnie or Selby.

I liked the Welsh Open slate.

I liked that better than the vase they have for it now.

At the moment it's the second most important tournament. It used to be the UK but when they changed the format The Masters surpassed it.

Hendry always says Masters above the UK

Good enough for me

Well tbh,i aint disappointed at all,even if John had of won,i would,nt be cheering,or be in the mood to celebrate,as i have a much more important thing on my plate atm,i have a family member issue which is obviously farrrrrrrrrr more important than a snooker match.



John did,nt deserve to win anyway,he knocked in 2 centurys,a *131* and a *127*,but bar those,he was,nt anything to shout about at all.


I Wrote earlier this week,that i was,nt convinced with his play atm,i had a feeling it would,nt be good enough to be able to win this Masters,although we all know,that he can go up a gear/few gears out of nowhere,but he can,t do it all the time,no one can,he,s human,this time he indeed did,nt manage to do it,so i think him <only> reaching the semis is a fair result.




Congrats to Allen,he played well,his all round game was very good,he did,nt play as well in this match as he did in his match against Ronnie,but he still made more of his chances than John did,without a doubt,so he fully deserved to win.


Very well done to him in reaching his very 1st Masters final.



I,d now like him to go on to win it,i think he will,he,ll beat Kyren tomorrow.

Hendry also said only the 3 BBC events count and the rest are merely practice tournaments.
