I forgot what I replied to, but by sticking up for teammates, do you mean by yelling at the sky or by disregarding rules in your own favor?
Oh, sorry. Yes, that mattersI forgot theif it matters.
I guess I
Guess I missed the sacred relevance, would be my sarcastic response.
Ok.... kind of thought I might get edumacated.

Was the cue ball actually dirty?
Oh man.... That would make it even funnier if it wasn't
It seemed pretty clear that he asked for it to be cleaned to get more time, so my guess is that it wasn’t dirty, or, at least, he probably would have asked for it to be cleaned even if it wasn’t dirty.
I stand corrected and fully believe Earl CAN 'shit that crap down'.
Biggest Brain Fart by Mr. Jones ever.... I would pay anything to be the first one to ask him during a live feed..." So Jeremy tell us WTF was going on in that head of yours?"

Impossible... The balls were moved when the shot was taken. Not the same situation at all...
The problem with that is the video in which Higgins enthusiastically describes how he could pull it off. The Ukrainian said you can't just miss balls can you and Higgins said "yea you can". He looked far from uncomfortable. He was wondering how he would get paid.
This same outfit ran the U S Open and called a shot clock violation on Shane Van Boening despite the fact he had an extension and can't hear the beeping warning because he is deaf. I don't remember seeing them call any asinine fouls on their own players.
Yeah, Higgins being one of my favorite players had distorted my memory of that video slightly. However, there’s a still a difference between being caught on camera talking about doing something in the future, even if they weren’t journalists, and actually doing it. Also:
John Higgins banned for six months but cleared of match-fixing
John Higgins has been cleared of match-fixing but was banned for six months for failing to report the illegal approach
www.theguardian.com
He was fined near 100k pounds and suspended for 6 months. His manager, who organised the whole thing, was banned for life. It’s also not Matchroom that handled his case.
Come on man, you can’t ignore the rules because someone is deaf. You may also have noticed during the MC that SVB was able to hear Skyler talking to him over the noise of the crowd, while Skyler’s back was turned to SVB. His hearing aids clearly work when they are turned on.
Trust me, if MR handled pool the same way they handle snooker, a bunch of US players would have been banned/fined a long time ago.
You saw the same thing I saw. Higgins was on board all the way! He was even asking how best to launder the money because he wanted it all in cash!
That’s always been my opinion.
BH letting him off was a bigger fix!!!!!
Had to be said
Fatboy
The investigative report said they had ALL the video not just the parts edited for broadcast. They said it was apparent based on ALL the evidence that Higgins was sandbagged, and was CLEARLY trying to extricate himself from a threat.
Hence Higgins penalty for not reporting the approach, but no penalty for match fixing.
That's key here. All the evidence.
Yes, I thought he was leaving.Right after JJ was told by the ref that he made a time foul, he walked to his team and then to the ref table (maybe to verify or something). The camera followed him closely walking out of the arena. Did anyone else think at that point for a brief moment that he was storming out the door and back to his hotel?
So SVB's fk up was MR's fault??? WTF????
Wow, this thread went sideways.
One thing this occurrence reiterated to me was my dislike of Jason Shaw. I've always thought he lacked sportsmanship. But recently I've started to doubt myself. Maybe it's just me? Maybe there's something I'm not seeing? He could after all be a decent guy. And his actions on day 4 spoke volumes. Not sure if any of you guys saw it too.
After Jeremy Jones had the ball cleaned and ran out of time, the very next day Jason Shaw asked for the ball to be cleaned in his rack then called an extension and proceeded to play as a giant middle finger to the US team. Way to rub it in and be a dick. He always has to make it personal.

I have always thought he acted to cocky and smug.
He can play with all the big boys, but he his attitude puts me off.
And, I need a translator when I listen to him talking.
It sounds like he is speaking through an echo chamber with a mouth full of marbles.
This is the world we live in, everything is someone else's fault.
