I don't hate Shaun.. 20 yrs ago I might

Stephen: He thinks he's chalk of walk but we're all grown Up

- NEIL GOULDING

SCOTS ace Stephen Maguire says his infamous chalk-gate incident with Shaun Murphy can "never be resolved" because the former world champion will not admit it.

The rivalry between the two players stems three decades back to their junior days and there will be another instalment with a tasty tie in the last 16 of the World Championship tomorrow.

It's 20 years since Maguire, 42, was docked a frame at the Grand Prix for forgetting his chalk and causing the match to be delayed.

There is a long-held belief that Murphy asked referee Johan Oomen to dock Maguire a frame, which the Magician firmly denies.
