Missed red in the 5th frame and that pink could well decide the match in Higgins favour.
Hope not.

He loves to overthink things. He probably feels it makes him look like a snooker intellectual.

It pains me to admit, but this is why Selbo has won more. Robbo has the better A game, but he's mentally weak
Didn't we basically decide that yesterday?

He once lost 6-4 from 4-0 up against Selby, Higgins too is well capable of such feat if Robbo keeps gifting him frames.

Is it in Ronnie's contract that Eurosport have to ask his opinion every five minutes?

Why did them that slow ????????
Murphy is the best at this type of shot.....Just smack them hard and you'll never be stuck

Robbo finally manages to get over the line.
Some dubious shot selection by him tonight, but in the end he's in the final
Now he needs to revert back to eating Cow meat

Just listened to the post match interview. Some very interesting comments by Robbo. He said he takes any long pot on as long as he has a comfortable bridge on the table. If he's on the cushion, he plays safe.

Couldn't watch the second part of the match (after the MSI). When I looked at the scoreline and saw that 4:3 I thought Robertson would probably bottle this but luckily he got over the line. Still not everything perfect though from what I've read here and people said he keeps overthinking on shots.
It just shows that his problem is not ability-wise but just mental. Still expect him to beat the journeyman comfortably in the final.

The long blue in frame 8 was proper attacking intent
