World Championship 2009 - Final Discussion

Was he allowed to retrieve it?

I dont know he hasnt needed it yet but he deffo didnt come out with it??

It's not the World Final i was dreaming for, but it has "quality" written all over it none the less!
This Final has the look & feel of going to the wire - but i just wonder with all the close finishes Higgins has had & after the session with Allen yesterday how much has all of that now taken out of John Higgins.
I think both are evenly matched & it's likely to go very very close....but i feel that it will be Shaun Murphy that will be World Champion come tomorrow.

Pretty much that word for word.

Come on John.

A final between John Higgins, one of the best players of this generation, and Shaun Murphy, the best cueist of a ball and number 2/3 in the world not your ideal final??

BAFFLING.

[RocketRoy1983]

John Higgins win the first frame with a solid opening break of 69 and counting....

[Ekphantos]

not your ideal final??

BAFFLING.

Well, definitely also not mine... I just hate having to watch a player I absolutely can't stand, no matter how good his cueing is... so COME ON JOHN

Im sitting here feeling sorry for you mate. Absolutely cant stand for what reason exactly? What youve read in a paper? Its pathetic.

I have a feeling I should have entitled this thread the 'C'Mon Higgins!!!' lol but aye you show him how to play John.

[In-off]

I notice Rob Walker dropped the 'class act off the table' schtick about Murphy

Higgins is playing as well as he ever has, which means he will win if he keeps it up

I certainly hope he does

BAFFLING.

Best of his generation? Bit of an understatement.

[Ekphantos]

What youve read in a paper?

What I have heard from him in his interviews, I don't read British papers. Don't know why not liking a sportsman is pathetic, but also don't want to discuss it

[attilahun]

Solid start from John Higgins...lets hope he can keep that level.....

PS Lets not turn this thread into a Murphy bashing.

[gby4]

Higgins - Robertson would have been ideal for me, but the good side in this is that now I dont have to choose which one of my favorite players should I support. So GO JOHN!

[RocketRoy1983]

Its pathetic then that you dislike him a lot as you say based on his interviews. It speaks volumes about you as a person mate. Enjoy the final.

Of all the players who turned pro around the 1992 he is the best wouldnt you agree?
