McGill has played better in the last three frames than Ronnie in all of his semi final.

Very high standard from a precarious position, no nerves or hesitation

If McGill plays Ronnie it will be 1-7 v 4-1, and about 5.5 handicap. Why do punters accept such poor percentages��

That's exactly why I wouldn't be touching a Rocket - McGill final

Or indeed, a Selby/McGill final, or even a Wilson/Selby final.... because I wouldn't be able to make any sort of prediction/s.

Joe_ Public

He is playing without looking under any pressure whatsoever, supremely relaxed and think there's no fear of losing as he's in kind of bonus territory here as it is. Course, they all desperately want to reach a world final but feel it might weigh more heavily on wilson. McGill said in his interview the other day that it felt as if he was playing down the club, and that's how he's making it look at the moment anyway.

I wasn't too hot meself on the punting this year, Mark Allen was my fancy, was scuppered quickly

Seema only used to do the in-between matches bits was it?

Sickening foul!!!

gormdubhgorm

looks like 15-14 McGill in again - edit no! Red goes in off shot on blue. Wilson has them there for him.

Arthur Daley

What a story a Ronnie v McGill final would be though bearing in mind Ronnie's gee up earlier in the week.

No matter what about his tact, and it takes a bit to draw some ire from Mark J Williams, but he is always box office.

c.p.w.g.w

Comparisons to Graeme Dott - didn't he get to two or three Crucible Finals. I think folk are being generous to McGill.

Dott was 27 when he got to his first final...McGill is 29

Cruel luck for McGill having played a good shot.

Chalk McHugh

Ouch! That's going to hurt the Glasgow man. The snooker gods can be so cruel.

I think McGill has had his fair share of rub this session, a few balls 'ringing the doorbell and wiping their feet' going into one of the black pockets earlier on. Still, unlucky all the same.

This is what World semis should be about. Two players equally matched. 14 all about to go 15 14. Classic stuff.

Brian?

I went for a cup of tea and it was 15-14. Jesus that was quick.

Arthur Daley

Cracking red

fran38

McGill over the moon to have got to the semis

Chalk McHugh

That pot on the red best shot of championship for me. Second best was McGills last gasp snooker behind the green that won the deciding frame match v Clarke.

Arthur Daley

Need a bit of luck on the split

Ah balls, the electricity just went in our house!

McGill looks to have found a new gear the last few frames.

How ironic as this match is electric!

Bad contact there?

Arthur Daley

That was poor off the blue

fran38

Goin 16 all id say. Gripping.

Gone 15-15 now McGill playing like a legend. No bother to him think he has forgotten who he is and where he is.

fran38

Cmon McGill. Strike a blow for the 'numpties'.

gormdubhgorm

Major McGill mistake and got away with murder. Wilson's fault. Plus Kyren should get rid of that goatee. It's not Zorro or Pirates of the Caribbean.

Chalk McHugh

My god how did he avoid knocking the black in? Come on McGill!

Panrich

I would love to know what Jamie Clarke is thinking watching this. He had McGill well beaten until the controversy scuppered his equilibrium.

Joe_ Public

This reminds me a little of bingham v trump in '15, how relaxed bingham was, how he kept brushing off any mishaps and how much he was enjoying himself while trump grew more and more frazzled by the frame. Substitute mcgill for bingham, wilson for trump and i see a not altogether different dynamic in progress here.

No doubt you'll find out if you go on his twitter.

Yeah loved it. Full length of the table and attacking the red covering the black at 15-14 down in a WC semi final.

Arthur Daley

No that red was brave.

Becoming McGill fans.

mdwexford

Where the hell did McGill get this out of.
He found the turbo somewhere.

radiata

Some balls on McGill. 5 of the last 6 frames, hope he does it

Wilson won't like you comparing him to trump.

Those 2 straight up don't like each other.

Holy Diver

Outstanding from McGill.

Some jump in standard from the other turgid affair...

Chalk McHugh

Whispering Dave Farrar is getting better and Hendry is a good co pilot. BBC beats Eurosport and Joe Jonhson all day long in this match up.

waynescales1

Would love to know what McGill’s shot time was in that frame, maybe 14/15 seconds? Gliding around the table, tapping them in like they’re over the hole, amazing composure.

sligeach

The reds are everywhere. There's nearly as many at the top end as there are at the bottom.

Passenger

This is the first of the Wilson/McGill semi that I've watched and they've been impressive so far.

Ficheall

Just waiting for the dam to break here...

Don't go to a rerack whatever happens.

Well there you go.

sligeach

Just as I say that. I think they both chickened out. It was too early to call that.

Arthur Daley

A re rack on the blue pink and black after 41 mins in the 81 final. Could imagine Steve in his prime enjoying that.

Joe_ Public

God be with the days you'd have minimum 10 minutes tip tapping before even the first hint of a rerack. Truth be told, would have quite fancied it there!

Arthur Daley

Now Mr McGill

Joe_ Public

Shoulda been going down for blue there.
