John Higgins V Stephen Maguire

[Blondie]

Hi

..........and what a great match yesterday with Higgy and Ron, really enjoyed it.

And really looking forward to today's match with Higgy and Stephen Maguire.
Can't be easy for either of them as I know they're close friends, and also practice partners.

Higgy is on a roll though, and think he is unstoppable at the minute , although fair play to Stephen for getting as far as the S-Fs.

It will be another great match, can't wait, and what do you think?

Lol....xx

True!!!
Ron-Higgins was a great match!

I cant stop to watch the semis.

I think last year BBC didnt have live stream for the semis and finals.
Does anybody know wether they are going to have live streaming this year?

wheeeee!

I can't wait for this! What a match it will hopefully be, with both players playing oh so well. I obviously want John to win, but Mags is another favourite of mine, so this'll be a case of c'mon to both players, but slightly more so for John.

John is - sadly - not unstoppable. Didn't you watch the last session of John v ROS? Ok, he held himself together and stepped in just in time and nicked those frames when ROS made mistakes, but I was seriously afraid that Ronnie would just steamroll him. Maguire is every bit as attacking as ROS is.

At least I'm happy that I am guaranteed to have one of my favourite players in the final, and in with a good chance of winning the whole tournament

@Ranen: from the BBC site: "The BBC Sport website will also show all the television coverage", so here's to hoping!

Maguire favourite to me, John a little panicking yesterday evening but ok who wouldn't against an Osullivan like that.

I prefer Higgins, then Maguire, then Selby and then the other guy. In fact, I hope the other guy doesn't win, unless he plays such fantastic snooker he makes Davis in his prime look like an amateur. Then even I must relent and say he deserves it.

Panicking?? Dream on...and an O'Sullivan like what?....He did nothing man, nothing...better surrender to the facts now....

Let's not cross that bridge until we have to, eh? I'd rather Eirian announced himself as the winner.

lol Maija

I'm hoping for Higgins, Maguire, Selby and Eirian then (and will probably be anonymously red-repped again for this post )

Yeah indeed would be the better final - Just imagine selby going all the way !

[littleminx147]

I will be very disappointed if its Higgins Vs Murphy in the final - i'm sure it will be good snooker but they are my least fav players and after last years final being so poor and my first Worlds final live I am looking forward to a slightly better one this year.

Are you serious ??? All four left will guarantee great snooker. But probably no one leaving at 4-0 down
