Carter has been incredibly lucky in this match...makes a change as he was very unlucky vs Trump.
Got to feel for Maguire though, everything going for Carter atm.

EXPECT NOTHING ELSE FROM KING OF THE BOTTLE JOB MUGUIRE
maguire lost all the "BIG" frames in this game atm, 5th and the 13th
Everytime The Captain plays a safety Peter Ebdon gets the blame!
Well, for us pre-match Maguire backers next up is a visit of some church and pray for two hours...but I think it won't help anyhow 
Maguire's discipline has been shocking but with the run of balls Carter has had so far it's no big wonder. I will not red out of it, going to 'enjoy' it to the bitter end.

9-5 Carter 
Fair to say Maguire took to many liberties in the early frames. Not over just yet still think Maguire is in with a chance though needs to buck up.

I really not want to see the Ebdon prodigy in the final
Carter is going to ruin my book if he makes the final, only player i'm not big green on, don't have a dime on him but would have to cover him in the final so would mean winning peanuts and wasting my time. I know he would get owned in the final by Ronnie (again) or Stevens but i couldn't let it run.
Come on Maguire, pull your finger out. If he finish 9-7 he will easily win the match in my opinion as he will finally get a run at some point, but 10-6 and Carter will probably hang on.

Comical how Carter moaned about Trump being lucky against him...the state of the run of the ball he has had today, anyone would think Selby was playing!
this is basically the match in this frame, huge frame, Maguire has to win one of these close rajjy ones
What is he doing? Only turned on five minutes ago and Maguire is playing like a complete clown.
This is like the final vs Ebbo...Carter just boring the fcuk out of him
Carter has won all of these scrappy frames so far in the match
Is there any point Maguire playing him today? Every scrappy bit of rub of the green has gone his way.
Bit of a joke how lucky Carter has been in this match - probably won 4 frames alone from having the running of the balls

Carter backers were always looking for some luck, but Maguire backers should have taken heed of his dodgy temperament before this one. All players play an 'unlucky' match, it's how you cope with it that matters. Hendry, Davis etc in their pomp would have just shrugged and reeled off a 5 frame winning streak. Will Maguire manage that, while he's pumping his fists around?
For anyone who like the spread bets: Carter currently only at 12 to buy in this match on the 10-3 bet. That's scored 10 points for winning and 3 per frame won by. i.e. if he wins by just 1 frame you profit, plus there's less possibly downside now he's banked 10 frames already. Top bet IMO.
I love how he pretended like he meant to pot that red off the blue
Maguire will never win the World Championship due to his temperament. It's likelier that I will get to the Moon before he wins it.
Would i be right in saying that Ali has never beaten Ronnie??
carter cant beat ronnie and the better carter plays then ronnie will just play even better!! looks like 11-0 to ronnie is looming large
Carter can win this tonight if he wins all remaining frames cant he?
looks like there will be no snooker tomorrow afternoon or tomorrow night
proper match play snooker by carter, just like chelsea and b munich
crash bang wallop snooker coming up from maguire very very soon
Why do the commentators say something, then repeat them louder, to try to make the commentary sound exciting? It just makes them sound stupid.
'Where's the cue ball going?'
'WHERE'S THE CUE BALL GOING?'
'WHERE'S THE CUE BALL GOING?'
In your mouth John Virgo, if you dont shut up. Lol.
'Where's the cue ball going?'

'WHERE'S THE CUE BALL GOING?'
Usually, the cue ball doesnt go in the pocket either.
John Virgo annoys me though. When he tries to inject some enthusiasm into his commentary after the frame, he sounds more like he is having trouble on the loo.
Dennis Taylor overanalyses the shots, predicting what he thinks the next shot will be. Needless to say, the player always does something completely different.
Theyre trying to convince the viewers that if Maguire wins this frame, a 5 frame difference is nothing.
carter gutted that something went against him less than five minutes after he fluked position on a red.....i've always quite like ali, and even after the trmp game i wasn't too bothered but he's really rubbed me up the wrong way the last few days
New day's play for the finish of this match - should see Carter win.
TBF, Carter did his best to capitulate when ahead against Jones and the balls are due to start running against him. Maguire's been extremely composed since the mid-session interval. Wouldn't surprise me if it was game on.
def game on for me - carter should have been 16-8 as a minimum....he'll sleep less soundly than he would have liked now
Tomorrow he will need 4-0 probably before the interval.
Anybody catch what was going on when stephen was potting the yellow?..turned to the crowd and said something.
Yep, he said 'Im starving, Stephen Lee ate all of the backstage nibbles'
plenty of matches won from 4 frames down going into the final session. pretty sure ken doherty beat paul hunter from 15-9 down as well
Yep, he said 'Im starving, Stephen Lee ate all of the backstage nibbles'
I thought he was Steven Lee with stubble.

amazed they re not saying that the brown won't be an issue for SM if he keeps missing....
How is that not a miss?
Im not sure that's a good decision...in fact it was poor.
Why was carter hitting it so hard?

Why was carter hitting it so hard?
Why was it a miss for 5 shots but not a miss for 6? Why are refs allowed to interpret rules as they go along. Dont get that one really
John Virgo just said 'perfectly' instead of 'perfect'. Is that a first?
Big call that. Reckon Ali was on the verge of a meltdown there.... Huge frame gone begging.
shocking shot selection by SM; taking on the brown, doubling the green. Christ it's a world semi.......
Instead there will be a meltdown from Maguire now. And a big one too. He's beaten himself mentally a long time ago. Now he's found a reason why he lost the match.
If he didn't hit it so hard..he would have hit the red.
Bad decision Carter was really in it with that snooker and a foul shot got him out of trouble.
Could have been 15-13 so easily now.
Hendry in his pomp would have taken this mini session 3-1 or even 4-0; that's the diff.

Negative carter gets all he deserves listning to that tool ebdon!!! if he DOES make it to the final then ronnie will trounce him know matter what advice carter takes on board
