I like watching Angles, really nice player, don't balls this up now, John on his way home

What a superb clearance by McManus.

What do you think guys. The way that Higgins is playing. Will he put another frame on the board?

[brusque]

Thank you Higgins .. you just cost me 1000 kr ... but losing that is less painful than watching your standard of play .. why dun u retire mate

[Stupree]

I've always had a soft spot for him and I had the 94 Masters Final recorded on vhs and I must have watched it 50 times and was always delighted to see him lift the trophy

With the way he is playing i cannot believe you bet on him (or was it prior to the start)

[itsnoteasy]

Come on Higgins give us a max

[Valiullin]

Another attempt at 147... hopefully this time he doesn't miss

Edit : And then he misses and gets a big fluke, amazing

[jrc750]

Unbelievable !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[brusque]

Wow ... that 147 attempt was fun .... quite sad to see Higgins playing this bad .... all good things come to an end I am afraid

would love mcmanus doherty! although you cant discount the wizard after a bad day at the office.

I was betting on the fact that even of Higgins missed McManus does not have the ability to dish up ... how wrong I was ... McManus was ice cool in that clearance ... admittedly he should never had gotten the chance in the first place

I saw him play in the Players Championship (I think) earlier this year. He never missed a ball. He was a machine. He definitely still has the ability.

Ding in real trouble here, making so many mistakes, his cue action has gone, he is snatching a lot of shots. For me you can't call him a great player if he can't handle the pressure at the crucible. Its all well and good people raving about him equaling Hendry's record this season of ranking title victories but many of these events are much lower in prestige and not all the top players have entered them.

I honestly can't see him winning a world title. He should be at his peak now and overwhelming favourite for this tournament but he simply can't deal with pressure.

[j6uk]

you lot need to tune into the other table

[scottley]

They're being taken off after this frame, not gonna be nice for them going back on after this evenings match later with how the match is balanced.
