I'd love a Matthew Stevens win. He's beaten Murphy, Trump and Robertson to get to the finals. Those are three high quality players.

Unfortunately, you always fear he'll bottle it, don't you?

Out of interest, when was the first time you supported him?

World semi. Didn't think he'd win that either, but can't hurt to hope, right?

Mark Allen 6-2 John Higgins





It,ll probably be no consolation for John,but at least he got to yet another semi-final,the way he,s played lately,you,d think he would,nt even reach the 1/4,s again!.



It,s back to the neeps n tatties for John Haggis then for the moment!. :-D

Did you mean Allen whitewashing Stevens or Allen getting whitewashed?

AAAAAAALLLLLLLLEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNN

:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

For him to freeze someone of John's class out of it and not pot a ball for 4 frames :bowdown: :bowdown:

Glad to see John back in form and it looks like Mark is hitting a new maturity in his career.

Playing Matthew in the final will be tough though, he was excellent against Robbo.

I meant Allen whitewashing Stevens. Of course, I hope the opposite happens.

Fair play to Stevens, he's been pretty good all week.

Great performance from Allen today against Higgins.

Superb to watch, ruthless you have to say. Below is a report I've done - feel free to take a look.

Now looking forward to the final - must remember to put the alarm clock on!!!

All the best
