O'Sullivan VS Maguire

[Aggrolite]

Wow, even i would have been embarrased to miss the red Steven did at the start of the 3rd frame.

[Ellena]

Stephen missed A LOT , during 2nd frame his pot success was 27% .
I hope they both come round and give us a great match...

[Semih_Sayginer]

Maguire aint on fire at all and ROS seems to have picked himself up.

mid session interval now. ROS leading 3-1

hope the match improves in standard.............and the balls open more kind

[hegeland]

Pot success after first 4 frames:

O'Sullivan 92 %

Maguire 61 % (Wow, that's really bad)

[Semih_Sayginer]

Pot success

Maguire 61 % (Wow, that's really bad)

it is indeed, and its showing. if the balls had run kinder and ROS was better early on it wouldve been 4-0 half an hour ago.

IMHO less than 80% is terrible, 81-89 is bad, 90-94 is good shooting and 95+ is excellent.

sometimes the stats dont match the play, as the balls can be in awkward positions etc.....and lots of shot to nothings, but generally it levels out over a match

[Ellena]

And again , Eurosport cut the transmission ... for the Dakar rally arrghhhhhhhhh

[Maija]

I wonder what Maguire thought he would achieve by smashing into the reds there...

And now - Dakar *frustrated*

[Skypigeon]

Ding will win easily tomorrow..if Ros/Mags continue this Hawaiian-type snooker

[Aggrolite]

I wonder what Maguire thought he would achieve by smashing into the reds there...

And now - Dakar *frustrated*

Err....he tried to pot the top one? I think that was a desperation shot. Just wanting to get out of there.

[Caroline]

Please please you mates (Semih, Hege?...) keep posting the match actions as we are abandoned by Eurosport now,
And I think it is also quite necessary to do so as taking a record here for later reference

[Semih_Sayginer]

ill update folk in the chatroom, if required

[hegeland]

That's good Sem.

Just seeing Maguire's highest break is - 18. How on earth could he have won one frame out of four? (unbelieveable)

[cueman]

To be honest I'm glad I'm not part of the paying audience to think I could have paid to witness this standard! Its shocking standard from both players and I have to say if Ronnie played like this against an in form player it asks the question whether he'd have walked out again.

The fact Maguire is playing so poorly is helping Ronnie but make no mistake about it, Ronnie has missed some terrible pots too.

[Sarmu]

lol in 2nd frame, both players had so many chances and missed so many balls

[hegeland]

Haha cueman I am part of the paying audience and I have to say I'm not impressed either!
