    Cruel luck for McGill having played a good shot.

    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.

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

    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.

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

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

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

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

    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.

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

    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.

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

    Wilson won't like you comparing him to trump.

    Those 2 straight up don't like each other.

    Outstanding from McGill.

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

    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.

    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.
