Re: Snooker 2018 Worlds
Higgins wins first two frames. Williams is strong though. Got a feeling we could be in for a long night.

Re: Snooker 2018 Worlds
Depressingly ominous from Higgins. Williams has now won just one of the last nine frames.

Re: Snooker 2018 Worlds
Hopefully my reverse mojo is going to work.
Williams wins the next 2, now leads 17-15. Needs just 1 more.

Re: Snooker 2018 Worlds
Williams just missed frame and championship ball. :shock:
Surely not.
Yep, Higgins steals another. 17-16.

Re: Snooker 2018 Worlds
Hats off to Higgins for making a match of that from 14-7 down
Some achievement though from Williams, winning it 15 years after his last World title. To think he had to be talked out of retirement by his wife.
Amazing stuff.

Re: Snooker 2018 Worlds
Fantastic final and the result I wanted.
Fair play to Higgins though, he battled all the way and was gracious in defeat but so pleased for Mark Williams, a great champion.

I damn well know where I like to see it go.

Re: Snooker 2018 Worlds
Thank f*ck for that. Great, great final - good vs evil and all that. Williams is the MAN - for winning under such vast pressure from the cheating bagpipe, and for honouring his promise

Re: Snooker 2018 Worlds
There's an interview on the BBC where John Higgins says he's lost his appetite for Snooker. Hopefully that means he'll give up soon and won't make an appearance at Sheffield next April. We can live in hope.
