What are we thinking, Trump or Higgins? Got to fancy Higgins with the experience but would be great to see Trump do the job!
For any Americans reading this, snooker is a game a bit like pool but on a bigger table with smaller balls of many colours. Oh, and you have to dress like this to play...

14 all at the moment.
Trumps long pots are stunning.
maybe his magical jew carpenter compelled him to speak out

don't mind a bit of snooker to phase out on, love it when they show the super slo-mo replays.

Watched the end tonight, Trump is unreal at times. Higgins is a real pro though, got to hand it to him.

watching snooker and blazing is actually pretty good, well recommended.

maybe he shouldn't have been so prepared to take a bribe then.

Didn't they discover that he had nothing to do with the match fixing?
Fantastic final btw.

Difficult to say for sure whether or not his claim that he was just playing along because he feared for his safety is true, but I guess you've got to go for innocent until proven guilty.
He's a fantastic player though, arguably the best ever. That said, I did really want Trump to win, some of his play in this tournament has been unreal.
...I also had a tenner on him to win at 80-1 after he won the China Open. I actually feel a little sick about the fact he didn't win.
SO YEAH. FUCK HIGGINS THE CHEATING tnuc!

yeah, sound turned down and dubstep turned up.
was a good final, always wonder why most of the rest of the world isn't into it- surely the logical progression from pool?

happy for higgins- trumps got a great career ahead of him though, i wouldnt be surprised if he won it several times.
my boy mark williams let it go though! looked like it was his for the taking in the quarters

was a great tournament, best televised sport ever imo, tension, excitement, lols, it's got it all
Trump is a badderman, I remember he did alright last year but getting to the masters final at 21 is incredible.
RIP Ted Lowe also

That was one of the most enjoyable finals and semi-finals in recent memory. Ended up missing the final few frames though, came back in time for the awards ceremony

Would've liked Trump to have won.

I envy people who enjoy snooker. Means you can watch Eurosport every hour of every day (except when they are showing Biathlon).
