Sorry, Wild.

I apologise if I enjoy something different to what you do. It's not like we can happily co-exist in our differences.

Every time I flick over Robbo has some points, so it looks as if the breaks are small.

Robbo is matching Higgins on a tactical level.

Don't get me wrong, I find Simon Cowell to be pretty irrelevant. But if somebody offered me millions of pounds for a day or so of saying how much I loved a product I'd take it.

Robbo is matching Higgins on a tactical level.


Yeah I was second guessing, but I just flicked over and Robbo was snookered and got out and left Higgins in, hence my assumption.

You can only breakbuild when the balls are there if they not you have to scrap it out.

Yeah, I know and I can see why someone like Brad Pitt will spend two days advertising a whisky in Japan for megabucks so he doesn't have to make schlocky movies, and can put the money into an interesting film project instead.

That was a Masterclass of how to out play John Higgins tacticly.


Any budding Snooker player should look at that frame on loop to learn the tactics of this game
