If I was him, I would sue Pat Mooney. Pat Mooney was his manager and as such was supposed to act to the best of his interests, not to betray him and drag him into such a story. The tribunal findings show that Pat Mooney is indeed guilty. I don't like the NOTW but they would suppose that John Higgins was at least aware of what was going on when coming to Kiev; they had no reason to suppose otherwise.

Mon... the WPBSA didn't fine Mooney because financially he is apparantly skint.
As skint as the WPBSA is of ethics and foresight.

They have missed the bloody boat!
This was a real chance for conscious, prudent change.
To send out a believeable message to the snooker constituency.
A message that would have been a key into what is supposed to be a $50 Billion a year industy by 2015.
Web Betting.

WPBSA is a bunchofuckingoofs.

606 is pathetic its full of rochdale nutter wannabee's the actual nutter is no where to be seen on 606

theres a surprise

This result is a victory for News of the World investigative journalism.

John Higgins has been found guilty, suspended and fined.

Pat Mooney has been found guilty and banned for life.

Today's judgement is testament to the extraordinary work of our investigations editor Mazher Mahmood.

We hope that the exposure of Higgins and Mooney will act as a deterrent to any other cheats in sport and help restore the integrity of snooker.

Barry Hearn says

Barry Hearn, chairman of World Snooker Ltd, told the News of the World: "It has been a difficult couple of months for snooker and an episode from which we need to learn lessons.

"The News of the World's investigation will help us to clean up the sport. We will be reviewing the rules and regulations regarding betting and hope to put in place changes, including setting up a new integrity unit in the next couple of weeks, that will act as a powerful deterrent to any player, manager or agent that seeks to behave improperly.

"I appreciate the tribunal acted in an independent and professional manner and reviewed all the evidence. I agree entirely with their findings.

"It is now time for snooker to move on."

The point mate is the question... "Guilty of what?"
WPBSA to protect Higgins removed any question of serious guilt BEFORE the Tribunal and did not put forward the serious
allegations of match-fixing, perjury, bring sport into disrepute, etc. etc.
He could only be tried on what was presented to them, was, and was found guilty of those minor charges.

That tactic is so well-known it has a name "Whitewash".

Read Dave Hendron's Blog... lot's of current info ...http://snookerscene.blogspot.com/

As per your request for players' comments... I can't really in fairness direct you to people who aren't your "friends" on fb.
Everyone is walking on eggs about it all (except me it seems)... one reference Michael Holt calls it ‎...."The great escape".

LOL


Not funny really.
