Incredible Crucible drama
It’s like the Dennis Taylor Final all over again.
Gilbert is playing with a bit more freedom since he became outsider in the frame
That should be that
Red Rover
Champions find a way.
The greatest match player of all time
It’s a fucking disgrace that Higgins is allowed to play in this great tournament.
Cheating, horrible bastard.
John in tears. He’s one of the great warriors of any sport.
It is a disgrace but cheats often prosper in sport. Higgins has to live with the guilt that his actions and shame finished off his father.
I feel for Gilbert. I know what it’s like to lose a one frame shootout to John Higgins
Dave Gilbert in tears too.
Everybody’s in tears.
Some people here would rather that match never happened.
Oh God, Dave in tears. First thing he said was to wish John well in the final. Class act
Dave Gilbert a class act. The only class act out there this afternoon.
John is still very emotional.
Early night tonight and come out fighting fresh tomorrow.
Hopefully Judd and Gary goes to at least 30 or 31 frames
John Higgins’ temperament is unequalled. That sensational red to the middle pocket in the final frame was a pot for the ages. He took his game to another level in those last 3 frames and he was even exceptional in the one he lost. His break-building, safety execution, tactical acumen and composure under pressure were phenomenal.
Judd wraps up a 17-11 win in fairly quick time. Some real exhibition shots in the last two frames there. He’s some entertainer.
Some competitor in fairness.
He’ll be smashing it into the lovely Denise tonight to help himself relax.
