Copper to break jinx?

Can Maguire still win the World Championship even though he's won the penultimate tournament?

Here we have the first two sentences released on BBC now

I guess Murphy said, Stephen is a very good player and he seems to be his bogey man (3 defeats this season) but he will give him a challenge in the worlds. Good run up to Sheffield for preparation, blablablabla

Maguire replied he respects murphy as a player and could have gone either way. Best way to go to Sheffield, blablablabla.

Well done stevie knew u could do it!!

So we dont know what the players had to say then??

[Maija]

Congrats to Stephen on his second title this season! I'm absolutely chuffed for him. He held himself together well when things weren't going his way, and he even had Murphy looking nervous there, not something you see very often.

Perhaps not the prettiest of snooker, but it sure kept my nerves tingling

[April madness]

Sorry darling, you are absolutely right.
Cheers for all kids on the forum.

this surely isn't the start of a beautiful friendship, is it?
have a good day.

Only in using F word. If you said, Forget Ronnie, this is snooker - means the same, and polite, and up to the point. I am not against the message of what you said, I am against unnecessary and uncalled usage of expletives on a public forum that might be read by kids also. *rant over*

About the final: I think Stephen will forgive "chalk story" now.
I don't think they will be best friends since today.But huge respect to both.
They play just marvellous today and it was the best snooker i have seen from months.
No "speed-rubbish" presenting against Fu by cockney little boy.

[bobbond]

Yes you gotta love the Chinese trophy ceremoneies, takes like forever, the players are waiting and wondering.

Probably why Ronnie doesn't try very hard in this tournament - he doesn't want to go through the long awards ceremony

[April madness]

Am I wrong?

I wasn't ironic, you know!

At least we got to see them rolling out the paper on the table. I wonder what that was about?

Pity there had to be a loser in this match, both deserved to win!

[wildhoney28]

Am I wrong?

[gingerale]
