Anyone Been Watching The Snooker ?

[skel1983]

not really paid it much attention this year but I don't like Higgins - and how he goyt away so lightly with what he did is beyond me

been watching some clips of Trump and its like watching Alex and Jimmy when they first hit the scene - am warming to hin and he says he wants to entertain.

That style will certainly get hin fans but as we've over the years seen it doesn't bring the titles and consistency that Davis and Hendry had. But I know which type of player I would rather be

Mark it is unreal how that bent cunt Higgins got away with a fucking six month ban which just happened to fall in the off season so basically got banned for 2 fucking months!!!

He said he went along with these guys in the Ukraine he called " gangstas" because he feared for his life haha, but his then manager/agent had already met these guys three/four times previous to this? Makes me angry he got away with it, when Quinten Hann was caught do nearly the exact same thing he got an eight year ban, How the fuck does that work?

I saw him get heckled last night well done to the bloke for standing up to him, fuck Higgins the bent cunt. Hope Trump smashes him!!!

Totally agree mate can't stand Higgins, its 4-4 in first session. Trump should of been 5-3 up but stupidly went for the 147 when he should of just made sure of the frame. I think Judd Trump is playing better but John Higgins is so hard to beat, as Mark Williams found out twice.

I think Trump will win it. I've watched the whole tournament and he has played best. I had 3 tips at the start (didn't put any money on) Selby, Trump and Williams. Dunno what Trump's odds were at the start, must've been at least 25s??

As for Higgins, I really don't know how he got away with what he did, it is so obvious that he was bent! With all the money he has and all the game has given him and he will agree to throw frames for a quick buck

Trump was 40/1 after winning in CHina. I had a small bet on him at 35/1. I had a better bet on him to beat Robertson and win his quarter. However, I had much bigger bets on Ding (especially Ding) and Williams in all sorts of combos. Fucking gutted yesterday. Gutted. Gutted.

As for Higgins - Maybe i'm a bit naive, but I think you guys are being a bit harsh. There's a big difference between intentionally throwing a game and SAYING it's possible to throw a game.

Judd Trump showed some good bottle today, he's 10-7 up going into the final sessions tomorrow. Amazing player and he's the same age as me, unbelievable he could be quite a force in the future best of luck to him tomorrow.

ok but he never answered two questions (at least I never saw them answered)

i) why was he there

ii) why didn't he report it

had he not been the world number one I am certain the consequences would have been much harsher. And his manager will have just agreed to take the fall

1. To meet rich business men about promoting exhibition tournaments in East Europe.

2. That's why he got a six month ban and fined £75,000.

Had there been any evidence that he ever threw a WPBSA sanctioned match, as opposed to saying it's possible to miss a ball in an exhibiton match, i'm sure the consequences would have been much harsher too.

Quentin Hann got an eight year ban for supposedly agreeing to throw a match in the China Open. He didn't even try to defend himself, he didn't go to the hearing. Also Neil Roberston informed the WPBSA that Hann approached him about fixing a match for £30,000.

Big difference.

ii) he was hiding something then

have to say I think the journalists who trap people like this should be the first to go down in these situations anyway

I thought the video footage was pretty clear, he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Plus that match he played against Steve Davis, was an obvious fix i've never seen him play that bad. Yes players have off days but that was ridiculous he was missing balls all over the place.

Oh by the way what a knob Quinten Hann was, i always hated him.
