    Some dope in the front row wearing a wooly hat seen on Twitter he’s blocking people’s view and refusing to take it off

    Enjoying Alan McManus in the studio and the commentary box. Nice to get a different insight. Have Willie Thorne and John Virgo got the boot?

    Shame that Gould couldn't make more of a match of this.

    You could argue it the other way too

    A lot of the best tacticians are nowhere when their game goes

    Thorne will do the Welsh Open (BBC Wales) & World Champs, Virgo will be back for the Masters.

    Maguire has given Ronnie a few decent games over the years, even beaten him on a few occasions. Playing well enough, it seems, to make it interesting tomorrow.

    I do not miss the "WHERE IS THE QUE BALL GOING!!" every time it gets within two feet of the pocket.

    Still on for the Murphy v Ronnie final which was predicted alot last week

    Maguire looking reasonably strong all week. Wouldn’t bet against him beating Ronnie.

    Funny earlier when Davis mentioned licking the balls. Don’t think he got why Hazel laughed!

    What was Davis talking about licking the balls? why would they do that? Cheers

    He was on about the affect of humidity on how the balls react.

    Close there Mags but how utterly typical to have rattled in the great long pink and then miss the (relatively) easy black.

    Hot and cold today, Ronnie. Considering he was in first every frame bar the last, Maguire will go away thinking what might have been.

    I thought the Chinese players would really be coming through by now but nobody comparable to O'Sullivan's ability has appeared.

    There won't be another Ronnie , he is unique. I strongly fancy Murphy tomorrow night, really looking foward to it.

    True and all the nonsense spouted by the likes of Davis over the years about how they’d be dominating within a decade blah blah. Zhao Xintong was once the coming star, now it’s Yan Bingtao who, in fairness, is a proper talent but not even close to being another Ronnie (which may never happen anyway).

    There’s no question there are great numbers playing the game over there, so I’d wonder about the set-up, standard of coaching etc. Its harder for them because they still have to relocate to be competitive, but they still should have more players reaching the top by now imo anyway.

    Nice clearance by Murphy to level it. Should be good and tight in the evening session.

    Hasn’t done all that much wrong Murphy, Ron’s safety is giving him the edge. If he keeps this level up can’t see any way back for Murph.
