Welsh Open'11 - QF discussion

[Hal]

Saw only last 2 frames, so can´t say much, but Stephen was really lucky with position of white after missing brown. But MJW was not probably at his best, so who knows if he would clear the table which he needed to level match :-)

Just goes to show , even when youre in scintillating form , the game shows it,s ugly head and reminds us who,s the boss , not to take it for granted , and how difficult it is .

Great sportsmanship from Stevens, I didn´t see him touch the ball at all.

Think the ref called it anyway not Matthew

Higgins is stamping his autority now.

Does anyone know what time the semi finals start tomorrow? I'm going down, but the world snooker website is just badly designed and difficult to find things these days.

Aaaargh bad session...come on Ali and Matthew!!!

Williams comment on Maguire in the post match interview:
". I wonder how he has a cue left after banging it on the floor. A lot of the time he beats himself up, and if he sorts that out, he will win more tournaments"

And Graem Dotts on his own performance:

Asked if the fact that he had gone ahead of Ronnie O'Sullivan in the rankings was any consolation, Dott replied: "The way Ronnie is playing, that's nothing to brag about. It's hard to find any positives. I need to do some work before the China Open."

Bit unfair on Matthew there, ref should have looked at replay or something (if available ??)

I think he's spot on there, Maguire's lack of self controll is one of, if not the main reason/s he isn't a more regular tournament winner. He's always entertaining to watch though.

Stevens holding his own against Higgins as he now levels at 3-3. The crowd really getting behind Stevens..

[missneworleans]

Well played Ali! That was fast
Now come on Matthew!!!

[PatBlock]

Very ballsy black from Mathew, but then.......

[Rane]

Wasn´t it a fault when Stevens left the extension on the table ?

Good decision not to make a judgement anyway.

I must say the pockets do look as they are playing very generous this week. Some shots from hendry's max and also some tonight havent looked close and then dropped.
