Ding was on for a maxi there, right? Anyway, either he didn't know or he didn't care. Focusing on winning the frame (which is the right attitude of course.)

We need a back up plan in case his happens

The day I signed up was the final nail in the coffin.


I know you're joking, but in all seriousness you signing up was like a breath of fresh air.

Fresh air? You bucking serious? You sure you don't mean carbon monoxide?

There was a query about whether his waistcoat touched the green when he was leaning over the table. Camera angle made it look very close, but it was inconclusive.

Ding! the opening red to get in was superb and then the plant to carry on the break. Shame he couldn't do it in one visit, but there was no Higgins clearance this time! :happy:

Only saw the last few frames but really happy for Ding with that performance. And although Higgins made one or two mistakes, Ding played himself to victory with heavy scoring and great pots. It's good to see him playing well again, let's hope he can sustain it.

And not the usual Higgins clearance this time around <cool>

Also so happy for Ding, truly deserves everything good he gets after what's happened in his life. Bar Ronnie, him winning this one would be the best outcome for me.

To be fair, my idea of fresh air is someone farting in a crowded lift.

So after ronnie choked a 3-0 lead vs mavis and 4-1 vs king it is higgins time to choke a 4-0 lead.


Still, it makes Ronnie's chocke worst given it came against Mavis and King pmsl

Ding is Higgins' bunny and although this was a great comeback, it shouldn't be seen as surprising as those 2 losses from Ronnie were.
