But not much wrong Mags did in this frame if he does end up losing it.

But yeah 4-0 nil down he won't recover from there, he's no Selby, Higgins, Dotty, Doherty at their best.

Yeah he won't recover from this position.

Mags might still make things interesting, say win 3 or 4 frames, but Allen surely will win this match.

Beeb is more interested in cringeworthy stuff, namely about Judd's family and Ronnie's "problems".

Just started watching. The referee's outfit looks stupid with the black clothes and silver tie. Looks like Maguire's growing a beard, while Allen's clean shaven. :-D

you got to hand it to Mark Allen winning this afternoon against the odds i thought Hawkins looked the better player and then tonight winning a frame after Maguire did a 68 break.

Allen should have won one of the Triple Crown events by now.

He might still do, bu he'll be just like Stevens, no more than 1 or 2.

No he's not. At best you could say they're equal, but I'd lean towards Stevens. Has a far better record and did most of his best work whilst competing against a peak Hendry and Class of 92.

In terms of bottle Allen is a million years better than Stevens.

But what counts is titles, and as it stands yes Stevens is way better than Allen.

That's what I was thinking. Allen at his best looks a very good player, but he rarely plays his best. In an era where the Binghams are winning, Allen should have won much more.
