UK Championship 25/11 - 7/12

[bingo]

Looks like Marco Fu is done in this frame. Shame.

[Odrl]

I also feel Fu has a better chance against Trump tomorrow.

Not so sure about that, Maguire has an excellent record over Trump. :smile:

This was a big frame, the first one where both players wasted a bunch of chances, so it was always going to be hard to take for the player who lost it. I wouldn't be surprised if Maguire won the match with a big break now. :smile:

[daffie]

Doesn't seem in the cards now...Marco just gave the frame away there in the end, what a shame.

[daffie]

I really want to see Fu come through in this match...don't care much for Maguire's temperament nor his temper tantrums. I also feel Fu has a better chance against Trump tomorrow.

[bingo]

Fu missed a sitter.

[Odrl]

This will annoy Maguire, and it could be a similar turning point as that 6th frame in the Dott-Bingham match.

Maguire is an interesting player... he looks very strong when he gets long, uninterrupted scoring visits, but whenever there is a bit of safety played in between he often needs some time to get going again.

[daffie]

Great job Fu taking this frame as well...only 1 frame behind now...it's getting closer!

[Le Ball Sack]

What was that about Maguire not wanting to be a fat World Champion?

[daffie]

Eurosport2 will pick up the snooker right now, as the bundesliga football has just finished. Oh the relief...snooker *with* talk again

[Odrl]

I rarely get to hear the BBC guys these days, as I watch most of my snooker either on Eurosport on TV, or on Eurosport player.

I am quite relieved whenever it's Hendon and Johnson, but the combination of Studd and Hallett can be a nightmare to listen to. :smile:

[daffie]

Well if Marco pinches this frame, Maguire will be extremely agitated. That can mean he will come out all guns blazing, or beating himself up about it. Hoping for the latter...cause I want a close match...it's been too long

[WHolmes]

Depends who is commentating. I like (or at least tolerate) most of the commentators, but a couple of them are worse than silence unfortunately. :wink:

JV is by far the most annoying, I'm sometimes glad when the match I want to watch is on the red button because that normally means I will end up with a combo of either Steve, Stephen or Dennis. Those three are much better commentators in my opinion, they don't talk as much as JV but they stuff that is said is relevant.

[daffie]

If Maguire gets much fatter hes gonna look like Tony Soprano.

Tony just came out Maguire almost hit the table in half there...just caught himself.

Agreed (Mike Halet comes to mind, although he has been ok lately). I like it with commentary better though I have to say now I have the experience without it...this is just very weird

[Odrl]

Btw how weird it is watching snooker without any commentary...the quiet is almost overbearing at times
