Did they shake hands at the end of the session? missed it.

They did shake hands after the session.

are you sure, because that'll stir quite a bit of media discussion post match.

Dave Hendon has already written about it in his blog.

Yup, they did.

Did anyone notice that Maguire and Murphy didn't shake hands at the start of the match?

i don't think it's particularly good for maguire if he peaks his game at semi-final, because that'll only mean he'll play worse(may still be good, but just not as good), and he can't afford that against selby or ronnie

Wonder if they will shake at the end.

If they dont, no doubt Murphy will be pilloried as a bad looser.

Words can't describe how much I loved that session. Please win it 9-1 Maguire.

Murphy gets hammered. guess just 2 frames left tonight. Expected more of this match

[hegeland]

Pity, this looked like such a promising match. Maguire's hit the zone and Murphy looks shaken. Had this session been 6 frames instead of 8 I think Murphy could have had a chance, because I think he is able to recover, but now the lead is just too big. I can't see Maguire lose from here, whatever happens in the evening session.

Murphy missing just a bit too much... Strangely to see from a player who played very well just a day ago.

I said after the last WC, should we ever see Selby meet Maguire in the final, I'd bet my house Selby would win 18-17.

Yes hi have all chances My fondness are for him but I think Maguire is betther
in this stage .

Maguire is on fire at the moment.

Selby is the new Ebdon, only worse.
For some reason, he gets away with the same tactics many of us dislike Ebdon for. We all remember how Mark tried to slowplay Higgins out of the worldfinal...

At least Ebdon has paid his dues, he has won the big titles and earned the right to play any way he wants to.

Selby is a rookie who should show the veterans some respects until he has something to back up his antics with. (read a couple of titles)

Tactics of some players are very mutch alike , some think that Selby is the new Ebdon , Cope is the new O'Sulivan , Murphys game remind to Hendrys .
