mourinhos porto goal when they knocked out man united was offside yet it was given and they went on to win the champions league and mourinho told everyone how special he is as he the european champion

boris becker the year he won his only us open title he was match point down in one of the earlier rounds played a shot the ball hit the net and just about fell over the other side he won the point came back in the match and went on to win his 4th grand slam title

with higgins i dont give a flying buck what anyone says but he was lucky against cope in 2009 when cope was about to win but the ball rolled off because of the slate otherwise higgins would have been snookered on all the reds which were open in the frame cop needed to win the match when he 12-11 and 48-0 up

ive mentioned what happened against dott but great players like higgins make the most of their opportunity

even against ronnie holy buck he lost the tactical exchange ronnie had him in trouble in that frame yet he flukes the red and before these higgins worshipping clowns say well he still had to pot the balls but they were scattered everywhere and by that i mean everywhere he landed plumb on the black all colours open reds either side of the baulk line and blue meaning he could lose position a few times there were still reds there

those were for ronnie to pot he made a century in the last frame and the way the balls were he was pretty much guaranteed to win that frame make it 12-11 as he didnt have to do anything with the cueball

and at 12-11 who knows ? momentum with ronnie anything could have happened so the fluke wasnt epidemic like some higgins worshippers want everyone to believe

he wont keep getting these crucial rubs at critical moments time is running out for him i genuinely believe williams will beat him tomorrow i cant see higgins winning unless he gets a crucial run of the ball which he goes on to take advantage of like sonny was saying

the law of averages says it wont be his turn to get a rub of the green tomorrow at the business end

for a neutral yes perhaps

as a robbo fan i was delighted

No, I'm not knocking Robertson. They were the best players in the tournament by far, but the final was woeful.

Dott made a lot of sense asking for the Saturday to be a rest day

a rest day would be good

i think start worlds on friday then rest day on last saturday

If it goes 16-16 and Williams gets one of those long straight reds where the red is middle of the table and white is near baulk cushion, then he is just as likely to slot it in in that frame as if it was 5-5 or 10-6 or 1-10 or whatever the score is.

the biggest compliment anyone could give Mark Williams was when Stephen Hendry said if i had Mark's temperament i would have won a hell of a lot more tournament.....

jojo wrote:having a third fourth place playoff is as stupid as having wild cards for the crucible

what a recycling bullocks of an idea whose brainwave was that ? why would someone want to play for third place for the ranking points ? that would be unfair anyway because why should you get a chance to gain more ranking points from the tournament you just been knocked out in ? and if no ranking points awarded who the flying buck would want to play an extra match when they just been knocked out and probably feeling tired ?

some people just want to come up with ideas just for the sake of it not because of improvements what a joke

gj glad you not running snooker supporting ideas like that pal stick to changing supporting different players after every round ha
