2016 UK Championship

Well 5-2 it is...time for a comeback I'd say.

I think the UK should be a 64 entry comp, top 32, the rest of the tour can qualify with 32 top amateurs. Then we'd have time for longer matches near the end, is that alright with you Ronnie?

Leave the boy out of it...he's due later on...others at the table atm.

Exquisite cut on the red to the yellow pocket from Mark there, proving once again what a negative player he is. :wink:

Yeah Murphy looks under pressure, I think partly being best of 11 hasn't helped. There's a lot on this match, when you're 2 frames down early in a match you shouldn't feel so much pressure, but in short games it really is a decent lead, even right at the start so you're always running uphill from that point onwards

[daffie]

Not looking good for that final frame decider though...Selby in control and Murphy slightly off his game.

[daffie]

I agree...best of 11 is a joke especially for Q4 and Q2. Don't get me started...

[VillaGuy]

Murphy is looking more and more like that baby from The Dinosaurs, just seen a shot of him puffing out his cheeks and looked just like it

[VillaGuy]

Semi finals of the UK's should never be best of 11, especially when the players can finish a frame off in 5-10 minutes. It feels like they're just warmed up when someone gets over the winning line

[daffie]

Hear Hear!

[VillaGuy]

Two of the best players to see play each other, Murphy is always so postive with his shot selections, I hope it goes to a tense decider

[daffie]

Wonderful start! Both players up for it.

[Sc77]

Murphy looks sharp

I know..had Eurosport on at 14:00...but no snooker yet.

Anyway...we're underway now!

Incredible atmosphere...must be something really special walking down the stairs as a player.

In for a thriller.....

:snooker:
