The pretend Celtic fans here were cheering for another pretend Celtic fan to win. Anyone with a basic knowledge of the geography of Lanarkshire would indeed know the Mr Higgins is a native of Wishaw which is adjacent to Motherwell . There are two more league clubs namely Airdrie and Coatbridge’s Albion Rovers passed before one reaches Parkhead . Mr Higgins shamefully neglects his local clubs in support of a corporate behemoth which has a billionaire Irish capitalist as its largest shareholder .

I think any person with a passing interest in snooker is aware of John’s old Wizard of Wishaw moniker.

I believe Mr Higgins supported Celtic before they were a corporate behemoth with a billionaire Irish capitalist as it’s largest shareholder.

True maybe but the geographical facts which are the kernel of my point remain.

Selby might be world snooker champion but at the end of the day our bhoy is riding Denise tonight and he’s riding Vicky. Huzzah

Great to see the match fixer and celtic fan dispatched, hon Selby, a proper tournament snooker player

3133

that was a top top final. Selby could go on and break Hendry’s record.

3134

he’s the complete tournament snooker player

3135

It’d be a shame if he did. Hendry was a far superior player.

Ken Doherty was trying to recreate Shaun Murphy’s shot of the championship yesterday afternoon. Higgins was on the practice table beside him. He said to Doherty that he would give odds of 10-1 that he would recreate it fully.

Higgins constantly has betting on his mind. That’s why he doesn’t have any problem throwing frames.

I remember when a skinny Higgins first came on the snooker scene Denise was a little slip of a thing with dyed-blonde hair. She’s actually lost a bit of weight since his last final appearance but John himself has piled it on.

@GeoffreyBoycott, who’s the oldest world champion of the Crucible era? Is 40 an unofficial cut-off in the modern game? Will O’Sullivan struggle to win it again?
