match finished and Crap eurosport!!!

now they put davis v harold on again for the 4th time...

I normally feel symphaty for players with temperament problems (Tony Drago, Michael Holt), because they are trying hard to perform, and you can see that they are suffering the most because of their mistakes, but I can't feel sorry for Ding in any way as he just doesn't care.
As someone stated before he really needs to get a psychologist if he wants to achieve anything in snooker.

Maguire v Stevens 4-1

A really scrappy affair from the looks of the live score. Mon now Mags, finish it, I need to get around to making dinner!

[snookersfun]

aaaand in other news: Matthew finally got a frame on board

[MysteryG]

I don't really care for Ding either, although Dott isn't all that great too.

It's not going very well for Hendry unfortunately, but to be honest, I don't really care that much since John Higgins is already out of the tournament. =( Too bad.

[Nina]

Well done to Dott, even though I'm afraid Ding's poor performance takes sth out of his victory...

One frame for Matthew, at looooong last! (At least he won't get whitewashed...)

I want a final frame & may the best man win

Steady now Stephen... Mon Matthew

(I can't really choose between the two, they're both awesome players)

[The Maestro]

[doorag]

theres not gonna be a live coverage of the hendry game.

[snookersfun]

4-1 to Lee
but Matthew is on a roll 2-4

[Nina]

One more for Matthew, but I'm worried about Hendry now :s

"Idiot"
"Spoilt brat"
All these terms applying to Ding. What are you doing, folks, recycling your Ronnie-insults? Isn't any tournament complete without the odd derogatory spiel?
Ding needs a psychologist, in my opinion. Not a sports pyschologist but a regular one, since he couldn't have done what he did - namely the deliberate foul - if everything were fine with him. He's been a pro for more than 3 years so she should know better.
It seems that the home-crowd pressure has been too much for him and it's a sad thing to witness.

[Alex0paul]

Hendry pulls a frame back. Its now 4-2

[snookersfun]

Hendry is still alive: 2-4 now.

[Marc]

Nice 84 break for hendry.... But i think hes found his form too late..

or maybe like d_g said, he's toying with his poor opponent..
