Can't stand him at all, gives me a dose of the ****s just watching him.

Yeah me as well, although I do see him maturing every year. So hopefully he will abort all the silly extranious stuff and focus on his snooker in the future. He may still become a decent player to watch...

[Dr_Doctor]

He's already a decent player to watch.

Oh Maguire, what are you doing -.-

[cyclone crouch]

I know it's a long shot.. Anyone have tickets for sale? Apparently it's all sold out. Wednesday evening I'm round the corner :-(

[daffie]

Yup just like I thought, Mags beating himself up a bit already. Losing that first frame was a big blow to him it seems. Hopefully he can pull himself together and pinch the next 2 frames...

[bingo]

Fingers crossed he can clean out this frame n gain some momentum

I don't understand the Trump hate. He's one of the best snooker players in the game today. Phenomenal in all areas.

Probably because he's not doing anything we've not seen before (Higgins, White, O'Sullivan) but he acts like he's something special as if his like has never seen before. Sorry to tell him but his style of play is old news, its been done before and done better before. Sooner he gets that through his head and lets it deflate a lot the better.

What about the 2 attention seekers behind mags seat with the rainbow wigs on and florescent clothes. I seen them two yesterday in the sekby match with next to nothing on and silly wigs again. Not the best viewing when i'm eating my lunch.

Speaking for myself, no hate. He is a fantastic player, and I see him maturing each and every season. Especially his safety play and patience has been improving a lot. Plus I'm seeing a bit more (positive) personality from him, I like to see him smile...he does seem like a good lad. Possibly in his early years wanting (and people expecting him to be) the next best thing, a crowd favorite like Jimmy White. The pressure must have been huge, and his off-table antics (fast cars and fast life) got in the way of the snooker. But when he lets the snooker do the talking then he is great imo!

Think I'll focus on the match instead from now on...

Looks like Maguire is in "shouldn't have bothered turning up" mode.

[bingo]

Cracking long pot, come on Mags!

[daffie]

Nice battle on these last balls. And what a huge frame to win for Mags!

[Dani]

Great black from Maguire. Trump threw that frame away, though.

[Alba_]

Mags is struggling big time here. This will be an early finish i think.
