Dafabet Masters Round 1 : Mark Allen v John Higgins !

Skullman wrote:Dennis getting Jimmy and Ding mixed up. Easy mistake, we've all done it at one point.

Taylor better not be commentating tonight. He always makes racist remarks when the cameras pan round to some faces of Oriental origin in the crowd; "Lots of Ding supporters in here tonight" he will say, without realising what a total numpty he is.

Higgins finally misses. Still, has a good lead and there are plenty of awkward reds for Allen.

what a fail from higgins. a sitter missed

now again rerack and 100 % pot success for john higgins would be nice

Oh well, 4 frames in a row would have been a lot to ask.

a steal would bring higgins back to normality

Higgins's rhythm has gone...

John? John Higgins? Hello?

JOHN ARE YOU THERE?

Bad miss by Higgins. I feel, this frame could be the turning point. Allen must be favourite now to win the match.

john higgins, ladies and gentlemen

habahahhahahahaha

what a player

the last two misses from higgins were pure theatre as JV is lately starting to say

2-2. Let's see how Higgins plays after the interval...

Funny how Higgins is the one playing well in the beginning and Allen pegs him.

Bit of a role reversal.

Over 100 points scored in each frame, extremely high standard.

That red is the PRIME example of why Higgins is in decline. In his prime he would have never missed and would have gone 3-1 up.

Allen willl fel like he's 3-1 ahead given how Higgins started.

Higgins wont win it, he definately needed to be 3-1 up after how he started.

maybe john parrot now knows why higgins is 50-1

Well,brilliant start from John,knocks in 2 tons in the first 2 frames,Allen shoots 1 in the 3rd.


He played a really soggy,yucky shot in the 4th though which ended up him costing him the frame.

Yes, a prime Higgins would never miss these balls under pressure. He was one of the best pressure players ever, but decline has changed things rapidly.

Mark Allen 2-2 John Higgins

Never mind the red, he wouldn't have missed that green with the rest and taken frame four in one.

higgins lost many deciders and close matches lately. when did he win a decider last time?

Higgins saying he would take a runners up spot if offered one

He might be runner up v Ronnie then, 1995, 2005, 2015... patterns

Higgins can still Pot balls and can still make Breaks but doing it consistency is the key and John Higgins cant do that anymore.

What the hell is with this master class who has 8 hours a day to whack the cue ball up and down the spots?

Grammy for steve davis

what a masterclasa

2005, what a match that was. I'll always remember that one. Ronnie was playing like a god in that final.

Steve needs to go back in to the Jungle and stay there

2006 was better.

habahahahah
allen lost over a stone and i see no difference

at least he confesses that he is fit enough

uhhhhhhhhhhhh

allen:ronnie fans are not snooker fans. hmm. take care allen.

Allen dissing Ronnie fanboys

I know I'm not one of them, neither is TR or SO around here
