His road to the final:
1. Kicks out the defending champion who played well
2. Kicks out the man who had the world champion a year ago on the ropes
3. Blows the last years finalist out of the arena
4. Beats a flawless Ding on top form
5. ???
Do it Judd!

what if he keeps leaving judd on the baulk cushion or snookered and evetually judd gets frustrated and lashes out ? jimmy never wanted to grind against the likes of davis griffiths thorburn etc and judd wont want to grind against higgins but higgns is probably the best player ever winning when he not playing well
and gj i wont go back on my word if higgins wins im a man of principle i cant stand him and seeing him win the worlds for the fourth time would make me sick it wont be good for my health i wont be able to stomach watching his so called innocent grin and being introduced as the reigning world and uk champion when he shouldnt be on a snooker table
i feel that strongly against him im sure people would love it if i dont follow snooker any more that their right i dont have a problem with that likewise it my right to not follow snooker anymore if higgins wins on monday

Ronnie won 18-14 so even should Judd be able to bring his best to table he won't win without conceding at least 14 or 15 frames.

yes its your right but the decision was made to let him play rightly or wrongly thats not our call to make the fact that he is world champion should not alter your decision the fact they let him play should have been the time you packed snooker up surely.
the fact hes in A TOURNAMENT is bad enough to pack it in surely everyone knows hes good enough to win before a ball potted 2 weeks ago so what really changed if he won ?

i never expected him to be having the success he been having but him winning the uk and possibly worlds i wont be able to stomach it if he lost most his matches early ie like against dott in the masters im ok with that because at least he isnt having success and people treating him like some kind of matyr war hero saint higgins whiter than white lovely gentlemen look what he been through and how hes come through it someone like hazel irvine is the worst
i hope sonny puts this out to the professional people ie those who run the game and professional players people like john higgins there are those who really do think he got away with it and passionate snooker fans are being lost because john higgins wasnt punished and they cant stomach him winning and being treated like a hero when it look like only his reputation as a top snooker player saved him from getting a similar punishment to quinten hann
i dont want them thinking alls fair and well higgins the gentlemen what a hero snooker this lovely clean game of ours when some will never feel that way as details havent been made public the least they can do for true snooker fans who pay a lot of money for the game they love is give us proper explanations and details as to what happened
i feel for quinten hann in this and obviously they wont give us the details because of various reasons so if higgins does win it on monday i say tezzies to it all i dont have to suffer watching him anymore it all too much and not good for me or the people around me it not fair on them
if the bung stuff came out say ten years ago and hed been pusnished served his time ie banned for five years then came back and started winning i would have no gripe with that whatsoever because he did the crime and was punished accordingly none of this elitistism cover up and pick on the peasent ie quinten hann
ive been calling for ronnie to be punished as well when he tries to lose throwing the towel in i dont like none of this elitistism stuff and had this been any other legend in higgins bung position i would want them punished accordingly i never had any problem with higgins winning tournaments before the bung stuff came out
anyway i hope judd beats him ill be able to stomach that

jojo wrote:caledoniancraig i have answered these questions many times before on this thread and i cant be bothered to do it again i havent got a closed mind on the matter
if they provided all the details to the public then yes it would put my mind to rest but even the link you given doesnt provide any substance just things like the evidence has been exhaustively studied and blah blah blah but no actual details or substance of anything
i know the tape was edited however news of the world say they cant release the full version to protect their undercover reporter i would love to see the full version as it stands i clearly believe he got away with it
people do have a right to believe he isnt innocent if they feel he isnt innocent especially if snooker is a passion for them and they spend a lot of money following the game it doesnt make them a criminal if they dont believe higgins is innocent like everyone would want them to believe
anyway enough of this i want to try and enjoy the final

As you are Trumps biggest fan how important in the grand scheme of things for him is it that he wins the final? I mean a win and it is a massive psychological boost beating the best of the old generation and as he has already beaten Ding and Robertson surely you have to ask who will stand in his way in coming years?
