Ah, I had a feeling there was another match-fixer. So, Stephen got hung-out to dry? I see, I see. Come on Bazza, John's a scumbag! It is interesting how they do treat John with utmost respect, without a hint of his cheating past. Maybe reminiscent of the treatment received by David Millar, as opposed to other dopers..?

Not quite the same: Millar doped to win; Higgins gave the impression that he would be prepared to throw a match in an obscure tournament for a bit of money.
Regardless of whether he intended to go through with it or not, his actions weren't going to deprive others of victory.

Not that I particularly care for him, but for a while he was the best snooker player in the world, so probably deserves a little bit more respect.

Now, if anyone wants to have a moan about that twerp Trump, then I'd be well up for that.

Shaun Murphy too.

One could argue, however, that the intention, level, why or who of cheating is irrelevant - it's still cheating at the end of the day.

Frankly, I wanted to know a little more about the Higgins scenario. I'll draw a line under that.

Judd Trump's got a silly name.
