    He is just about hanging in there. He needs to get a bit of flow to his game and get at least three of the next four frames.

    Gilbert is like a pesky wee moth. He won’t go away.

    Gilbert has done really well, thought the pressure of playing JH in a semi at the crucible, would've been too much for him.


    The guy has had a great tournament, same for Gary Wilson.

    Yes both no matter what can be proud of themselves and have worked so hard to get there. But Gilbert was feeling mega pressure on the last 2 vital frames of last night.
    This match is going to end in fireworks

    What an utterly horrendous shot that was from Higgins..

    Missed a red on to a red over the pocket and then took a re-rack. Pointless from Higgins when Gilbert had some mental luck snookering John with the yellow leading to it..

    Baffling..

    Not buying the sportsmanship patter.

    Poor decision.

    Yep..

    Gilbert had just accidentally snookered him on the red just behind the yellow and then John got fortune just after missing the red..

    Pathetic in all honesty..

    All down to the final frame. Fair play to both of them, it has been a cracking match. I hope Higgins can do it, but you couldn't begrudge either of them.

    Looking forward to this decider, always good to watch tense snooker. Hope it goes down to one needing snookers.

    I was just thinking the very same,this match deserves a decider. But who is the Chimp sat on Gilbert’s Wife’s right?
