John Higgins Wins WCS at the Cruicible.

[C64]

Well done John, sheer class stuff, but what about the young fella Judd Trump, , he is something else.

Well done both men, great entertainment.

he should had been baned for life for match fixing the cheating swine

So what do you know that the people who cleared him didn't?

[lfc4life]

he looked guilty as ~~~~ on the so called video???? And his ban was watered down cause he was a star name! Other less known players have been banned for life!!!

[bowie]

i heard he was gutted after winning it.


he'd just done 50 grand down the bookies

[mattybhoy]

I agree he did look guilty on the video, but I think the powers that be couldn't actually prove it beyond doubt. What's the saying... 'innocent until proven guilty'.

I think if you look back in snooker history, the governing body has never been big on substantial bans - like many sports. Remember beater blockers in the 80's? Players taking drugs to enhance their performance - now that's cheating! And only Neal Faulds got any sort of a ban and even that wasn't substantial. I remember Alex Higgins was tested positive for beater blockers and other drugs, but did he get a lengthy ban for that? No.

Well that's one way of evading the question.

Moving on...what's with the age thing? Some sort of weak attempt at an insult?

p.s. I love you too.

cool

I think mr higgins should have got a life ban and been made an example of. The question of using beta blockers and other drugs is in my mind not as serious as john higgins crime as i doubt they would have had the desired effect in a slow moving game such as snooker. However mr higgins has shown enourmous strength of character in the way he has reacted since serving his ban and also the form and sincerity he has shown as well- so i tilt my hat to john higgins world snooker champion 2011

Quite the opposite! Beta-blockers are the drug of choice for snooker players.
