DIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNG :-D

Yes I really hope Ding proves me dead wrong, nothing would please me moew at the moment :-D

If Higgins keeps missing those, Ding as we have seen will punish him,those 2 frame losses definately hurt Higgins, but if he can level the match I rate Higgins favourite again.

That's a good point actually.

I actually agree with Wild on this one. A journeyman isn't the same thing as somebody who isn't good enough to be on the tour. A journeyman is somebody who is good enough to play at a professional level, but generally only just does enough to stay a professional. A journeyman may occasionally have a run at a tournament, but at the same time rarely qualifies.

If you're not good enough to even get on the tour, you're not good enough to be a journeyman.

Good though it was to see Jimmy on our television screens again, beating Selby always looked likely to be a step too far.

Yeah but had he made it 2 all it could have been a more balanced match and you never know, stranger upsets have happened.

But now 4-1 just a question if Jimmy can win at least 1 or 2 more frames before getting beaten.
