Great start from Gilbert but he has a fragile temperament. Hope he can keep it up.
The bits I saw Maguire was getting zero run of the balls. I still fancy him for this.

Higgins did not deserve to win that, horrible bloke.
Really felt for Mark Allen, 62-0 up and lost
Fingers crossed he loses in the next round.
Did not deserve it because you don’t like him? Really felt for Mark Allen, 62-0 up and lost
Fingers crossed he loses in the next round.
Yeah, that’s nonsense.
Here's him having a frame with Hendry on Stephens Cue Tips - excellent channel. Around 22:30 they mention the ban

I feel asleep during the JH / MA match in the final frame.
Woke up and the Iplayer / laptop had somehow detected when I fell asleep and continued he final frame at 2am.
Great match. Don't like JH but he has a habot of being in some corking matches over the years.
It was. I didn't see it all but towards the end they seemed to take it in turns to look as if they would never miss another pot .............. and then miss a pot. No wonder it was close. Woke up and the Iplayer / laptop had somehow detected when I fell asleep and continued he final frame at 2am.

They keep going on about how tight the pockets are, surely their is a standard that the table manufacturers have to adhere to and the gap should be consistent?
They often say that - I think what they are saying is they are "tighter than club tables"If we were to take their phrase literally for the last 40 years the pockets would be the size of a neutron!

Humidity and temperature affect the boing of the hole surround too.A marginally tighter apperture, with an unforgiving cushion, and a less supple cup can knock a mm here and there.

I just thought the width of the cushion would be fixed and the radius of the curve into the pocket must be to a standard.
Explains why the experts miss sometimes until they get a feel for the table, way beyond my standard of play
There's a 13mm tolerance on the whole table dimensions.Explains why the experts miss sometimes until they get a feel for the table, way beyond my standard of play
i.e 1/2" of potential difference.
They are hand screwed together after all.
