“That should never go in!!” Higgins Pots 'Ridiculous' Black in Win Over Wilson | Eurosport Snooker
John Higgins breezed into the quarter-finals of the World Snooker Championship with a comprehensive 13-2 win over Kyren Wilson at the Crucible in Sheffield. His play was out of the top drawer and he was comfortably the better player over the two sessions, but he did have the occasional piece of fortune on his side - one in particular during the 12th frame of the match.

YEAH GET IN THERE JOHN, AND THROW AWAY THE KEY, HE SHOULD BE BEHIND BARS, GAME STINKS.
Only issue is that in recent years it's happened a few times Higgins has looked like the man to beat but then gets knocked out.
Yeah, but I think in the 2017-2019 years he wasn't playing as well as this. He was scrapping to win. Hopefully he keeps this form going
Almost like he’s decided he can earn more money losing
@@CityStarrzz that’s harsh man but haha anyway
@@CityStarrzz So true ‘ he’s a dirty cheating cnt!
This cheating C&nt is laughing at all of us ‘
4:33 pmsl its like watching 8 ball with that going in 🤣
Something definitely up with the pockets this year. I presume they have a template or something to ensure the pockets comply with size regulations. But right now you are correct, they are playing like pool pockets.
@@stevecostello4278 yes its either the template thats wrong or the cloths are far too slippery and helping the polished balls going in easily. Either way its not a good look for professional snooker
Anyone who plays snooker knows the pockets are Definitely 'Pot Friendly'
How this man still manages to ply his trade is an absolute disgrace
Stephen Lee was the sacrificial lamb.
You are uninformed and unwanted. Watch another sport.
Stephen Lee was the sacrificial lamb.
I love the Alan and Johns bromance. Abit like Jimmy and ronnie. Hoping John wins the title
You want a snooker cheat to win the title?
@@nectafarious8842 get over it you clown!
@@nectafarious8842 John was in fear of his life when that meeting happened and he got stitched up. Even if it were true, we all make mistakes and I would still support him yes
@@nectafarious8842 read up on it before commenting. He was in fear of his life and his version of events was accepted by World Snooker. He was banned for not reporting it and giving the impression that he would throw frames. Not because they felt he was actually match fixing.
Ronnie n jimmy friends yeah…. Alan n John friends yeah… but Ronnie has always said that Higgins is the best player ever…. On his day he can beat anyone…
john higgins is back to his best like in the player championship 2021 he only losts 4 frames .And 3 of them was to Ronnie in the final.
Every year the commentators constantly saying the pockets are tight. Buckets. Everyone knows they’re made bigger so we are more centuries
What a load of rubbish look at stats for the world championship on centuries every year it fluctuates.
Tight? Bigger? There's a norm how big pockets must be for sure. If someone is suspicious of some discrepancy in that, then one should report it to the authorities.
No, everybody does not know that.
@@Ferdish3 it's probably just the fitter's messing up
@@aaa-ky5ds No that's called the standard going up by quite a bit since the 90s
Should have been banned like the rest of them 😡😡
Why?
You are uninformed and unwanted. Watch another sport.
Well said 👌another cheat
How do you swallow 300,000 John?
Snooker is a funny old game as someone said, one small mistake can lead to a big opening. This is a new sport for me I found during covid& is nice & safe. Is he related to the other Higgins who is dead
No relation, common surname in this part of the world, well for the near future haha
Can win this don’t doubt it
Pockets are are an absolute joke this year
The authorities must be wanting the centuries record to go. I've been watching snooker since the 80's, I can't believe where some of the balls hit the cushion or jaws so high up but still go in, they shouldn't be. The other issue is it's getting too predictable, if the game becomes it's purely about who gets the first chance only and end of frame then it becomes stale and boring, you want the possibility of a player may miss to create the excitement, so isn't predictable as soon as whoever gets the first chance that's end of frame and it's right next frame who gets first chance now. It's too predictable due to the exceptional standard. I've been of the opinion for years the pockets need tightening due to this exceptional standard. It was refreshing during one tournament a few years ago Ronnie said the same, they need tightening, with Ronnie you never quite sure if he genuinely meant or not, be interesting if he still thinks that. It shouldn't be a game that is just down to the lottery of who gets first chance it's predictable end of frame, we want it more tense, more drama, the possibility of a miss, less predictable, a bit of jeopardy.
That's why I don't get watching pool.
Agree with a lot of that to be honest just not sure pockets are as big as yer making out there av seen a few hit the knuckles but agree with the sentiment
Easily 8 players can win it now compared to 4 players last decade and 2 players previous decades Crazy to suggest it’s getting predictable
@@huna1950 not who can win it but when any given player gets a chance, one visit snooker.
@@Lmtthw8651 yes but not being funny but one player visit has been a thing for 20 plus years as a consultant….actual WINNERS have a multi faceted battle fatigue armour that then makes them over the course of titles and seasons and even phases in their career rise to the top. So I know what you mean but you’ve been verrrrry reductionist and have given a verrrry narrow bandwidth to the depth of the game mate. There’s no coincidence more and more players are working in their mental game now. Who cares who can clear up…the nuances of dealing with expectations of yourself and the the public and media etc etc etc these things require a deep embrace that is as mentioned deeply psychological so again…who cares about ‘clearing up in one visit’ Silly point but again I understand kid Take care and enjoy the tournament Blessings
Higgins v Selby will be a marathon borefest. Glad one of them will be on their way home.
Hopefully shelby
Higgins vs o Sullivan in the final would be good
Not happening ..same side of the draw
Match-fixer. Legend.
@@williamcallaghan2023 Yep that’s exactly what Higgins is ‘ 💯
4:11 Exactly what I say after a night out John. I must be getting the hang of this snooker game 🫠
4:26 McManus calling Radzi.... Radzoo 😮
The worlds is about peaking at the right time during the tournament to go on to win it.
Yes. Peaking before the semi finals is peaking took early to win the whole things. Nobody has sustained peak form for 3 or 4 full rounds at the Crucible and won the whole thing.
I can think of 300,000 reasons why Higgins should be at the match fixing enquiry...
Ha ha exactly can't believe people are so blinkered and whole heartedly support him including Ronnie and Sean Murphy . How ?
@@williamcallaghan2023 Ar$e licker
Wide pockets are totally down to the sponsors and as they are paying a lot of money for entertainment... Big breaks means more views and an improved return on their investment. Just a fact, not a fan of it.
Admitted he cannot sleep’ that’s what liars and cheats become. Sleep with one eye open John 🤮
Such a shame about the match fixing saga years ago. Find it hard to look at John in the same light as I did before. Cos he's such a nice guy, and a great player. Even at the stage of his career.
It was a sting job and he never fixed a game.
He FAILED to report an approach about match fixing within the appropriate time! HE NEVER INTENNDED to fix a match and certainly never did! Why do people neverget the facts straight about this!! GAAAAAH!!!
You are uninformed and unwanted. Watch another sport.
@@nakkadu True that.
He plays Un real this match but watch how he loses he’s next match here. It’s been a trend for years for him hopefully I’m wrong though
Shouldn't be allowed to compete after the match rigging
Except that he never fixed any frame or match.
@@jackb6815 he agreed to on camera...
@@jackb6815 he agreed to do it, he was caught bang to rights
go on john
The evidence is in: he got paid to win. All those times! if only we'd have known. We'd have paid the other guy more:)
Just a reminder 10 Chinese players start their hearing into match fixing today, plus others been suspended...Snooker is in the pits and has been for a long time.
What’s this got to do with this video? Higgins would never do anything like that. He’s as honest as they come.
@Gabriel Allon Ha ha I hope your joking 🤣
@@Wakeupfromyourslumberpeople I think he was being sarcastic 😁
There are 10 Chinese and Mark King currently suspended - no "others"
@@GA001 Great joke 😂😂😂😂
Make no mistake’ Johns a wrong un’ 🤮$$$$
Match fixer much loved by the brilliant but nasty o Sullivan
These pockets are so bad.
Yea because I'm sure you'd know lol
I'm pretty sure higgins knows what he's talking about
Absolute buckets, no discussion about that
You probably average a break of four… relax
What language is that bald guy speaking?
Pretty sure it's English
Bull$hit from I come from . A thief amongst men .
@@cwshtygriff13 gammon head
@@karaokemanify Are you?
Higgins is winning this btw
Higgins is a machine. This form continues and in my opinion he wins the world championship. He also has it in his locker to grind out a match if needs be. No one will want to face this man. Peaking at the right time and in the right tournament. Higgins to win. ⚪️🔴🟡🟢🟤🔵🟣⚫️.x
That really would drag snooker down to the depths if that cheat won.
@@nectafarious8842 Well he’s won 4 times. Here’s hoping for 5th!!👌.x
And a cheat at that 🤢🤮
Why do you want a proven cheat to win? Are you related?
@@nectafarious8842 Because he’s one of the greatest of all time and he’s won it 4 times. As for the cheating allegations he was cleared. What don’t you understand of that??x
