Ssb - higgins does it again

[The Statman]

I found watching him this season a little confusing you know the guy has such strenght of character to fight on despite everything that is going on around him. And because of this i felt bad and thought he must be innocent and been set up.

Everyone here seems to think that the betting on himself issue is the worst. When i assumed like mentioned earlier that lower ranked players done this all the time although using someone else to lay the bets for them when they felt that they had no chance in hell of winning.
What bothered me was the alleged match fixing i have read here that the matches did not exist so it is not relevant but he was there to create the matches right so they would exist yes?
I now know that WS/BHearn could not do anything about this because jurisdiction laws and so he got off on a technicality this to me means he was guilty right?? Which means his behaviour over the season is unreal as he has acted like he done nothing wrong the man confuses the hell out of me.

But no matter what luck playing percentages hard work and bloodymindedness he has reached great heights.

I'm not sure that he "got off" on a technicality; rather, on a technicality the charges were not brought.

I don't think he has been proven innocent but he has been far from proved guilty. If you believe in "innocent until proven guilty" the you have to accept that he is innocent, very lucky maybe but not guity.

You do have to say, though, that on the table he is right up there with the very best. I don't think many players would have beaten Trump at the weekend.

He was on that video talking about cheating. But he is still innocent, yeah right.

[Straight strike]

When a highly experience professional snooker player entered into discussion with some strangers about match fixing outside his home country, his motive had been clearly revealed. Things spoke for itself. Although the judicial system could not do anything about it, justice was in the heart of people, at least some people.
