Stephen Maguire v Ali Carter - Semi Final

[Odrl]

One down, six to go.

I appreciate your point. Being a fan of Ebdon's game, I gotta give credit to being a true professional, as well

i love ebdon, one of the hardest working players ever, he got the absolute max out of what he had, and to beat the great Hendry in a world final deciding frame gets massive respect from me, even if i was gutted at the time!!

I've seen enough matches to know that you should never give up. You just never know when something might surprise you in snooker.

It's the same in all sports, some the best moments come from seemingly predictable situations. My mum is the worst in the world for it, the amount of times she's missed a classic cricket or snooker match because she's already made up her mind about the outcome.

Stick with it montoya, you just might be surprised. And anyway, we'd miss you.

I may change my mind at any time
By the way, that right middle pocket..

[Odrl]

Maguire is not doing too well with the middle pockets in this match. He's missed most of the tricky shots.

[Odrl]

Two down, five to go.

[montoya10]

Two unreal kamikaze shots with his back against the wall. Great bottle.

[breakman16]

Great effort Maguire, well played!!

[Odrl]

Well played Carter, never looked like losing this match. I didn't think he had much chance of reaching the final this year, but there you go, you just never know...

[breakman16]

Well played Ali, definitely deserved the result, think it may be a close ish final actually!

[montoya10]

So, then, the nightmare final is about to turn into a reality.
Congratulations to Ali Carter. He has done his work well. Now all he needs to do is to sit and expect Ronnie O'Sullivan not bother with winning a fourth world title

[debs]

Well done Ali indeed!

As per re Maguire though, told John he did not show enough respect in 1st session, HA!!! Total pleb, Semi final of WC and he forgot to show respect OMG

Anyway good luck to Ali tomorrow hope its a good 1

[P.Smith]

Lets hope Carter doesn't play as boring in the final as he did against Maguire, waiting around for 30 seconds after every shot certainly isn't going to put butts in seats.

Too big to care what the fans want, it's ali's second shot, Ronnie is there to win too, genuine snooker fans like me wouldnt miss it for the world!! Lots of snooker fans enjoy a tense final which is low standard with lots of pressure, drama, missed pots and nerves!
