I know Higgins transgressions are less than savory, but somehow less douchey. Let's have one for Scotland!

Why?


i love to see players want something so bad that it boils over its called passion.


unfortunately its not the British way and its why on the world stage in most sports Brits will not succeed they contain emotion with a stiff upper lip that it stifles their desire to win.

Emotion is fine. A celebration is fine. Three fist pumps -- including a bang on the table, and a scream for good measure -- in succession is totally over the top for a gentlemanly game like snooker.

If someone did that to me after a three-day match I'd drive a car over their head repeatedly.

Never said I liked that, nor did I say celebration was wrong full stop. But where do you draw the line? There's celebrating, and there's being a sausage, and I 100% think Selby was a sausage. Players I don't like -- Robertson, Wenbo -- have snake hissed me off with celebrations in the past, but so too have Ebdon and Dott, players I like. Selby joined that list today.

I agree, he seems to look up to the box and to his friends far too much. It shows a lack of class.

Spencer, Reardon and Griffiths would be my guess.

That Chinese mate of his is a right gimp he said on the beeb today. I have played in the Asian Games I'm here to give Mark advice. On what you fu*cking tw*t. That Selby just seems a di*k and not as nice as he seems imo

I'm starting to lean towards Haggis for this final, tbh. I'm not a fan of a lot of the things Higgins does and has done, but i just can't be doing with Selby and his antics under any circumstances.

At least Higgins won't rubbish the bed against Selby, and hopefully he will give him a good beating.

Honestly, I didn't use google, but those answers are pretty obvious if you think about it.

That Asian guy is Selby's manager and he cracked me up with his feature on the BBC. He came across as a right pompous idiot. As if competing at the Mickey Mouse Asian games suddenly makes you some sort of authority on the game at the top level. <doh>

That's what I meant he goes our wives don't mind us sharing a room together. I reckon Selby is pumping him no wonder HD keeps looking up at him

Selby is the worst player possible to be crowned world snooker champion. We can't have a boring, slow, negative, miserable, uncharismatic man become the world champion. It's not good for the sports image.

Snooker gods if you are listening,
Please let John Higgins become world champion! Please~~~~
Go on Higgins! You can do it.
