I want MacGuire to beat Murphy now.

Hehe, I think I'd be ruthless. Maguire forgets his chalk, yes I'll have that frame thank you. It's in the rules, we're not friends on the table.
hard to pick the winner this year if Ronnie goes out at some stage, Mark Allan and Trump dont seem at their very top game at the moment although they are still playing strongly. Personally I hope there is a first time winner the same as last year but Luca has been very disappointing since. I dont think he put the work in.
Murphy says it wasn’t his decision or input that led to the docked frame.

The only person that knows for sure is the ref, and AFAIK that ref died a few years ago. But it's pretty unlikely the ref would give him permission to go and get his chalk, then spring the frame being docked on him when he came back. He would have told him that before giving him the ok to go and get it.

Got say Jack Lisowski is playing very well so far in this match against Bingham, the cueing is very smooth.

I'm not unhappy about that, he lives not far from me. It's been a good game to watch.And now Stuart has won four in a row.
He seems to mentally wilt somewhat in big finals after playing like an elite player in earlier rounds.

I hope Maguire gets over the line here against Murphy; only downside will be more free time for Murphy to be on the BBC

I hope Mark pulls back against Higgins.

Jack given golden opportunity to steal first frame and he misses a sitter of a green while switching hands. Stuart then snookers him, Jack doesn't get green safe and Bingham is now 6-3 up.

The playing standard has been particularly low this year. Far too many straightforward shots have been missed by far too many people.

Commentators reckon the pockets are a little tighter this year.
As they do almost every year, though I have to admit this is the first year in a while where I've not seen iffy shots go in. Usually the commentators are blabbering on about how tight the pockets are then you see shots dropping that shouldn't, then they start talking about how the cloths new and that shot wouldn't have dropped after a day or so of play on the cloth. That doesn't seem to have happened much, if at all this year, the tables are the new star tables but they use the same pocket template year in year out so not sure why it would be tighter.

I don't have a problem with that, the game becomes to predictable if players are scoring to many century breaks.

C'mon Ronnie, put your happy head on and get this sorted quickly.
