Maguire could be brilliant if he could be arsed more often. He's like a lazy Ronnie who can't even be bothered lying about chucking it.
I still can't believe snooker got so bad that Dott managed to win a world championship.

One thing I really hate about Higgins - "The Wizard of Wishaw" wtf
Almost as bad as "The Robin Hood of Snooker"

was at o'sullivan v burnett on tuesday, and it was pretty poor. there seems to be a lot of wild inconsistency in playing at this year's grand prix. o'sullivan v higgins was pretty epic tho, and i'm gutted i had a ticket but couldn't go.
also otm re: hendry v williams

Higgins vs Robertson is a great match. Higgins had 100% pot success in the first four frames yet went in 2-2 at the interval. Robertson hit three centuries and led 5-3. Higgins did the old Mr Resilient and took it to a decider.
Higgins was clearing up to take it and knocks in a quality last red but accidentally hit the pink in. 7 points in it, on the yellow, nerves jangling everywhere.

wow, that was hella drama. hoping for Ding v Robertson in the final.

Looks like you're going to get your wish - Mark can't string enough points together.
Higgins - Robertson was awesome. No matter how great their respective techniques, its wonderful to see it coming down to those scraps of luck that anyone can randomly make the most of - it simply came down to Higgins making the last mistake. Not that it doesn't happen in other sports but snooker really zones in on this aspect particularly well.

wow @ the series of long pots Ding played to go 5-1 up against Williams. Esp that Brown - the complaint that most snooker players have sub-zero personalities evaporates as soon as you see some of those.

dennis taylor, looking at the breakdown of neil robertson's 127 break: "it's very unusual to see all the colours in a century break! really went round the table, didn't he?"
n.b. 3 of those colours were potted in the final clearance
