PTC 12 - finals weekend!

[SnookerFan]

There didn't seem to be a PTC 12 thread, so I thought I'd start one as it kicks off again this weekend.

I have to work today. I hate working when there is snooker on. :( Anybody lucky enough to be able to time off to watch the snooker today?

[coomsey76]

I should be finished work by midday....

So all being well I'll be able to catch the first snooker action of the year...... Can't wait!!:):snooker:

[SnookerFan]

Tonight I might only get to see Hendry vs Fu. Could be interesting though. Two players who don't have much form.

[PatBlock]

Hendry 2 - 0 up now.

Fu really is playing badly. He let Hendry win both those frames.

Not looking at all confident is he.

[SnookerFan]

That's more like it from Fu.

[PatBlock]

Well that century should help a bit.

[SnookerFan]

Yes.

At 3-0, I thought this match would be over by now. Can Marco Fu pull it back?

[SnookerFan]

Fair play to Stephen! I enjoyed that match.

[PatBlock]

Me to, nice mini-come-back from Marco, and a little bit of vintage Hendry here and there. :)

Ricky Walden vs Joe Perry and Stephen Hendry vs Michael Holt could be good.

It looks like Sportlemon have a link to various live streams for coverage all day. It's on British Eurosport from about 3:15.

[SnookerFan]

Sportlemon seems to be working. I presently have Gould vs Grace on.

[willtyson]

Gosh, that blue cannon into the pack was unlucky for Gould! He got through that so well. He looks like he's playing good :) :snooker:

[SnookerFan]

I can't see David Grace winning this. It's a shame, because I wanted a David Grace vs David Gray match to confuse the Eurosport commentators.

[SnookerFan]

Surprising miss that by Gould.

[SnookerFan]

This Gould match is hard to watch. Not because of the standard, but because this stream is ****. I went and had a shower in frame three. Apparently Grace made a clearance when I was in the shower.

Bring on Eurosport's coverage. <cool>

[SnookerFan]

David Grace back in. Can he take this match to 2-2?

[willtyson]

What are you watching it on? I'm watching it on sportlemon and have been able to watch it easily? :) :snooker:

[SnookerFan]

I too was watching it on sportlemon. And about every ten or fifteen minutes it would freeze, or go down for a few minutes so I missed something important. I think it's my computer, to be honest.

I've given up. Just waiting for it to come on Eurosport.

[MasterBreak147]

I would love Dave to win and save his main tour place for next season only a win can do that so he tells me...come on lurch!!

[willtyson]

O, 3-3 now!

[SnookerFan]

According to Michaela Tabb's website, she is supposed to be refereeing this;

Anyone seen her yet?

[SnookerFan]

Bad luck Mark Allen! Broke down on a 147 attempt!

[SnookerFan]

Good match between Mark Allen and Martin Gould.

Mags up next, but it's Hendry and Holty I am looking forward to.

[SnookerFan]

Higginson isn't doing much to inspire any confidence he'll pull this back. Mags to lay the smack down on him, 4-0.

[coomsey76]

Good match between Mark Allen and Martin Gould.

Mags up next, but it's Hendry and Holty I am looking forward to.

Good win for Martin..... Looking forward to his semi-final!!

[SnookerFan]

Apparently this is only the third meeting between Hendry and Holt. That's surprising, given how long they've both been in the game.

[SnookerFan]

Wow, that green to cueball pot combo. :eek:

Hendry! :(

[PatBlock]

This has been a very entertaining match between Hendry and Holt, a nervy 6th frame takes it to a decider which I think will be just as edgy, as both players really want this win.

-

[SnookerFan]

And Stephen Hendry goes marching on!

[PatBlock]

Lovely opening red from Stephen, which lead to a tidy 85 and the match.
Tomorrow's match against Maguire should be a cracker. :)

[cazmac1]

Well done Stephen

[davisskeggsm]

What was the final score?

[PatBlock]

What was the final score?

4 - 3 to Hendry

[JP1]

Hendry - Maguire 1 - 4 ?? had a very good look at Hendry & Maguire's cue here in Munich- Maguire seems to change cues as frequently as Ronnie ? Maguire will win the PTC12 here in Munich.

You think? I had Gould as slight favourite.

It's possible Mags won't beat Hendry, the way Hendry is playing. But the way Hendry has been recently, you keep expecting him to throw in a bad performance somewhere.

It's great to see hendry's long potting back put what's happened to his break building????

[coomsey76]

It'd love to see Gould win, and hopefully kick start a tournament winning streak for him.....!!:)

[coomsey76]

Not a good result for Gould..... Well played Joe Perry!!

Hendry up next!!:):snooker:

[SnookerFan]

Gutted for Hendry. :(

I've always quite like Gentleman Joe, so will root for him.

[merlin1234]

That green was absolute dog**** for a player of his class, though. He was cueing down on it a bit but it was such a bad mi****.

Maguire had the better of the run in the final frame, missed badly 3 or 4 times and didn't leave anything nice, but Hendry got his chance eventually and blew it.

I was hoping Hendry or Gould was going to win it.

[SnookerFan]

An ungentlemanly 147 botch by Stephen Maguire.

[coomsey76]

Great opening red from Maguire.... shame he never made the century!!

He looks to be on form...!!:)

[SnookerFan]

On fire maguire takes the title!!!!

[coomsey76]

Yep well played Maguire.....!!:):snooker:

[Rane]

Great with a win for Maguire. I´d feared he would never win anything again, as he often loses his temper in matches.

[JP1]

Told you so;; - Maguire played solid all weekend, but to be fair - so did Gould up until his match with Joe Perry - still amazed how Gould can play with those glasses, they are just normal glasses - he must have a special way of looking through them when he is cueing the ball - I could only see the top rim from that position would annoy me no end. A number of players wearing contacts without it being public knowledge, seemed to work fine with them.

What an ungentlemanly gloat, Joe Perry could teach you much. :D

[JP1]

:snooker:And you;;

[SnookerFan]

Joe Perry could teach us all a thing or two about how to be a gentleman.

On her the same site it said she was doing the Masters, but she isn't Don't know what's going on with her, maybe World Snooker have downgraded her
