What's up with Higgins match?



=o)

Noel

what do you base that on?

i base that on the fact he's not won a tournament for over 5 years, he misses far too many easy balls nowadays, his long potting is no longer good enough, he's by his own admission weaker mentally now, the standard of top 16 players now is higher than ever etc etc....
I'm a huge fan by the way (over 500 hendry dvd's), just feel at 41 now he needs to accept his best days are long gone. if he wants to carry on playing to make up the numbers that's of course up to him but the results (& performances) in recent years say it all. He set such a sublime standard in the 90's but all great things come to an end.

Mark's reached the televised stages, which is more than enough for him

oh & hello, cue1

Lol It's Ken who's the qualifier and he's the one reaching the televised stages!!!

And No... It's not enough for Mark

My stream won't stop buffering

[cue1]

A nice ton from Mark to level

Come On Mark!!! :snooker:

John makes a ton at the same time on the other table What are the chances of two tons at the same time?

Come On Bazza!!! Pick it up... :snooker:

[montoya10]

NO!!!

Come On Mark!!! :snooker: Ken's already won this tournament which is more than enough for him

Barry looks to be losing the second frame of the evening as well

Come On Bazza!!! :snooker:

Agreed. He has to accept he's nowhere good enough to win tournaments anymore. Stephen's always said he'd think of retring when he wasn't good enough to win. That time is now...

Come on Ken!!

NO!!!

[BikiniKill]

A bit off topic, but I just spotted CJ off Eggheads in the audience! Very jealous.

[cue1]

The first frame looks like it's going Kendo's way but Mark has always been a slow starter... Thank God it's a best of 19

Come On Mark!!! :snooker:

Elaine, you'd better give me a hand here

And...

Come On Bazza!!! It's about time you've won a match at the crucible :snooker:

Neal Foulds seems to think Ken Doherty is now a rabbit 'he's bouncing around out there'

[jb134]

its the same thing makes him great to watch though!

I wonder if Holt has ever watched a tape of himself.

Agreed. He has to accept he's nowhere good enough to win tournaments anymore. Stephen's always said he'd think of retring when he wasn't good enough to win. That time is now...

this coming from half a session? give the lad a chance lol
he's played worse than these when he was in his prime

[hitandhope]

Well, there's only one thing for it:
:snooker:Go on Selbs!:snooker:

[tai pichit]

I love henry and he is my favourite player but if he lose to a kid like zhang than he should seriously think about retiring.
