The Snooker Thread (Part 1)

First off, he is awful to watch, secondly he is a cunt.

Snooker is a game son,not a sport.

Next…

Looking like a Dott v Robertson final. Both holding comfortable 10-6 leads.

Terrific 146 from Graeme. With the experience and know how of how to win a World Championship, he’s looking like the man to beat.

As I anticipated Graeme’s big match experience and know how proved too much for Mark Selby. A fascinating final against Neil Robertson lies in store.

match fixing claim in news of the world tomorrow regarding john higgins. i sincerely hope this is not true. if it is that is him finished

John Higgins is a top man, the definition of class on the table and off it.

On the other hand, I wish a painful, painful death on Graeme Dott. I don’t particularly like Austrines but all I can say is Come on Robbo.

That’s a fucking shame. Seemed like one of the good guys. Fucked now.

career over. hann got 10 years for same thing. seemed like one of the good guys, but looks like it was a cunt pure and simple.

Who fucking cares about throwing a few frames.

John Higgins = top, top man. Took his defeat last week like a true gentleman. A gentleman and a scholar.

Yeah, no recovering from that.

The whole sport needs reforming obviously - the agents are involved and the whole sport seems to have some dodgy involvements. With the range of betting going on now (not just restricted to match-winning in any sport) it’s wide open for corruption. Higgins is good enough to easily throw the odd frame without costing himself any prize money.

Obviously an anti-Celtic conspiracy. Dsappointed that some posters have fallen into a News Of The World trap.

I rushed to judgement and I regret it.

They’re concentrating on a few frames that he was suggesting he’d throw… what about the hundreds of frames he wasn’t throwing? Hun media bias.

Don’t let the bastards grind you down, John.

John Higgins has shamed both himself and the game of snooker. You can’t print stuff like this, if its unfounded. There are libel laws. A lifetime ban and been stripped of his MBE would be the appropriate sanctions.

Compare the tawdy, sleazy carry on of Higgins to the heroice tale of his fellow Scot, Graeme Dott. Graeme’s battle back to the top after suffering such adversity and illness is one of the most uplifting sporting stories of the year.

well said manuel :clap:

John has clearly been framed. I know that I wouldn’t baulk at all that money in my pocket for throwing a few meaningless frames. A victimless crime anyway.

Higgins suspended pending scotland yard investigation. John Higgins you are a cunt.
