World Championship 2009 - Final Discussion

[ferret]

according to a source of mine the qualifers next season may be available to watch online

Yeah but that has only been a suggestion so far form the marketing team at Betfred, nothing has been set in stone or even talked about with World Snooker as of yet.

well lets hope world snooker are pro active for a change

All they would need is an overhead camera. I am sure if they charged say £3 for each of the ranking events and then say £5 for the World qualifying they would make a decent profit.

Its also a shame they didn't allow Global-Snooker show live stream of this seasons PIOS like last year unless they paid.

Higgins totally deserved to win but I have rarely seen anyone with as much good running of the ball than him. I felt sorry for Murphy.

At least the last PIOS event can gently ease me into the off season.

what do the players do now it all over till next season

Evens itself out over the tournament, thankfully.

Many congratulations to John Higgins he was a deserved winner in this final. Shaun didnt play as well as we know he can but take nothing away from Higgins a true champion and deserved winner.

LOL - So, who said it was Neil's year this season, Ha! I confess, I would have preferred a new champion to both Higgins or Murphy.

Certainly not me. I said in another thread that I didnt think Robertson would ever win the WC and I stand by that. I think a 3rd world title for higgins sounds about right but id never begrudge a new champion.

Possible Last 16 Draw for next season;

John Higgins v Mark King
Marco Fu v Neil Robertson
Ali Carter v Joe Perry
Ding Junhui v Shaun Murphy
Stephen Maguire v Peter Ebdon
Mark Allen v Ryan Day
Mark Selby v Stephen Hendry
Mark Williams v Ronnie O'Sullivan

The rankings determine the draw for each season. I'm not exactly sure of teh procedure though (the seeds and the pairings) but I've seen it before.
