UK Champ. 2009 - QF Discussion

[Forman]

I watch it on TV when it's on, and on PC when it's not. Unless I really want to watch the other table, or the TV is occupied. But I'd need to move things around a bit to watch both at the same time.

I suppose I could theoretically watch both on my computer, but I don't think my internet connection could handle it unfortunately.

I had live streams of both tables running for pretty much the entire world champs so i wouldnt miss anything , used a ridiculous amount of data during the month of april

[Welshsteve]

I see. The BBC coverage isn't the most comprehensive I have to say, particularly in the evening. Their reliance on the interactive service means you rarely get any live snooker in the evening on normal TV.

[Odrl]

I only have Eurosport anyway. I can only watch the BBC via streaming.

I subscribed to Eurosport player two days ago, for the sole purpose of watching the snooker. It works fine most of the time, but it's just on the limit of what my connection can handle. I can't imagine watching two at the same time. Not for the moment anyway.

Well in theory Maguire should win this match without little trouble from Lines. Still like some on here i would like to see (a fairytale ending) and see Lines make his very first semi-final appearance. Anyway i am confident Maguire will win 9-3.

What i had seen of Ding last night i was quite impressed with what i had seen. He really does look to be getting very near to somehing like his best again and the confidence is certainly back. Haven't seen much of Carter so far apart from when he played McLeod, but Carter does seems to be growing in confidence more and more now, but Ding for me still looks more clinical and assured when in amongst the balls and for that reason i take him to win 9-4..

we were confident that Williams will win easily aswell

[Welshsteve]

As fairytale as it could be, I just think that Maguire will be too strong for Peter Lines.

Ding looked very strong against Murphy and Ali will have to be at his best to stick with him, but I think Ding will prevail.

I think Higgins will beat Wenbo 9-5 or 9-6, and I think Ronnie will have just enough to beat Selby. Although Mark could run him very close, if Ronnie continues in the form he's shown so far he'll take some stopping this week.

I will make a very odd prediction here and go for Maguire with 9-1..I think he will sweep the first session and then let Lines win a frame, maybe two.. Then wrap up the win..

From what I've seen of Ding, he is the heavy favourite against Carter, perhaps for this reason, he may start the match a bit slowly, but I predict him to prevail 9-5 at the end..

I dont think it's that much of an (odd prediction) considering the circumstances. Lines may well freeze on in the match and the prospect of playing on TV now and facing such a tough opponent in Maguire may turn out to be all too much for Lines. Of course i hope i am proved wrong and he does himself justice.

Good luck in your predicion anyway...i dont think you will be too far away..

[montoya10]

Thanks, good luck for you, too.. Probably it's not going to be an exciting game, so apart from being a Williams fan, I wish he were in for this match to make it a much fascinating one..

[missneworleans]

Looks im only who predicted Lines to win. good luck to me

I share your disappointment in Willams not making the Quarter-Finals.

[Welshsteve]

Steve Lee and Mark Williams are my favourite players, so I will have to support Ali Carter now as it would be nice that Steve at least lost to the eventual winner.

They are my favourites, too..

Hopefully I have something left in the bag: Ding and Ronnie

[Alex0paul]

I really want Lines to win but he is playing one of my favourites. Its not fair.
