@p_sys I don't interpret "You´re still the man" as 'you destroyed me'.

@p_sys You must have misunderstood me.

@p_sys Give Stephen lee another chance?

No hes said your still the master!

Sem resposta .

If someone was going to throw a match, surely they wouldn`t let it go 24 frames.

Would look less suspicious though if it went 24 frames as lets be honest by 2010 the only realistic scores Davis would win by would be 13/12 or 13/11 or just possibly 13/10

What a pioneer like Fred Joe Davis then regarding then Steve Davis then hendry then Ronnie then Dave Harold 😂

and the fraud judd trump not a patch f the 3 greatest ronnie hendry steve

To pull out one last great performance against a player of John Higgins calibre was remarkable

*But he was Speeding at over 100 MPH in his Mercedes 500 V8 !*

Steve Davis's cueing technique was absolutely flawless, and while Stephen Hendry and Ronnie O'Sullivan were better players in the end Davis's impact cannot be forgotten

Do you reckon he said that to 56 year old Ray Reardon when he lost 5-0 in The Dulux British Open at the Assembly Rooms, Derby?

@@Bloxdio_God Unfortunately, that match was played prior to the television stages so we will never be able to see any footage of it.

I watched that match live. Reardon played really well

Crikey you gotta get a job

@@eddiepower3876 I watched it over three days, not all at once.

That’s what happens to top players. Most are hated in their prime, and when they get old, everyone loves them

Objectively speaking Higgins' performance in the last frame was a disgrace..which makes you wonder

Mate did u see how he played?

zak how much loosing there was on purpose. Isn't it just terrible?!? I wish they'd never done that setup. Snooker was beyond doubt for me before that. Silly, maybe, but blissful!

The news about Higgins being a cheater had just come out, Higgins wasn't 100 percent focused on this match.

@@michaeltrumph121 no, thats after this.

Given the circumstances it's well up there.

Eugen Birkheim i think that higgins didn't want to win this.

Don't make me dream with tears running down my face

White never wins the world's I'm afraid....

such a shame

He'd have to play Higgins every round.

He will lol

elizajohn5 yes, I'm with you. He did get suspended for taking a bribe

@IAN Learn English please. Even google couldn`t translate the gibberish you wrote. You obviously left school at 5.

Stephen lee got banned for life

@@kevinhayes6933 He did indeed. Higgins was a great player and is still a good player, but when he was found to be cheating i lost all respect for him. It wasn`t as if he was short of money, just plain greed.

2010 was the year it all blew up with match fixing scandal and that red into the middle in the last frame does add fuel to the fire 😳

From 40 to 50 is for most people a transition period depending on their body types. Then from 50 to 60 is a big change. Now Steve is in his 60's and he could very well stabilize if he did fitness and lost weight...

Everyone ages ya 🤡🤡

Yeah, how he can deal with stressful situations is impressive for his age. Not many players performing at this level at his age. A real athlete in all the meanings of the word.

Firstly in no way do i think this match was fixed. But if you are going to fix a match then this is how you would do it make the match as close and as tense as possible as so to avoid suspicion. You mention the O'sullivan v Selby match as an example of why not accuse this match of fixing then. But a match only comes under suspicion when there are irregular betting patterns. So i would say that there were no irregular betting patterns on any of these 2 matches.

He was accused of losing Frames not matches

lukemjp1 is spot on. Higgins was caught red handed trying to take money for throwing specific frames in matches, which would benefit those "in the know" by betting on those frames.

@Captmcneil. What you have just said are words of a person who is looking at this objectively, unfortunately human beings just love a conspiracy theory, but like most conspiracy theories they are based on zero facts and just assumptions. I'm with you, I do not believe for one minute this match was fixed, just Higgins wasn't playing his best snooker, he had also played pretty average in his first round match and missed some easy shots but he still won that game. Why would Higgins fix a match in the world championship, he would earn a fortune by winning the title. He also had a lot of close matches the previous year, if he went on to lose those, would people have called those matches fixed too?

Every time Higgins misses a pot or loses a match people cry fix, as if he's invincible and only plays crap when he wants to. Watched his semi against Dave Gilbert yesterday, where he missed a ton of pots and only really played well in one session out of four...

Yes he was a fantastic player. He still holds at least two records: most number of U.K. wins and the most number of overall tournament wins.

@@cormuinoraghallaigh1832 So the UK record also gone lol

@@Masterdoctorgenius14 Indeed. Fair play to O'Sullivan. He is the most naturally gifted player we have ever seen. It doesn't change the fact that Davis was also fantastic. Of all the players I have seen I would say O'Sullivan is the greatest, Hendry no.2 and Davis no.3.

Absolutely. Video evidence, online for all to see. Nothing. Stephen Lee... 12 year ban? Mental.

The biggest shame of all is that it has cast a shadow over a fantastic performance and win by Davis, through no fault of his.

They threw Stephen Lee to the wolves, Higgins definitely should have got a few years ban at least but he brings in the numbers that Stephen Lee didn't. Money the root of all evil.

Good question watching Higgins 2022 and 2002 he looks different player maybe frame fixing as a player playing to fix frame would be unnerving

That was on my mind at the time. Maybe he threw too many frames and got out of his rhythm and accidentally lost match. I dont think so but not sure at all.

Nope. For the simple fact that two things have to happen for there to be a chance of match-fixing -- a player obviously has to throw the match, but there also has to be dodgy betting patterns. The latter would've been detected, because for Higgins to recoup the amount of money he was losing out on for not winning the tournament (prize money was £250,000 for the winner), there would have to be an insane amount of money put on Davis to win that match, even with the long odds. Nobody in their right mind would've put more than a few quid -- maybe even a few hundred quid -- on Davis winning the match. So any bet in the thousands-of-pounds would've attracted suspicion. Also: Davis played well, it's not like Higgins handed the match to Davis on a plate. Yeah he missed shots like all players do, but even if you're throwing a match, you can't bank on your opponent playing well enough to win the match. That's why there was nothing untoward here -- there is zero evidence of any match-fixing here.

The quick aging may be due to family stress, he's got at least 3 kids. A lot of stress. Also, the fact he got caught cheating with the gambling could be a very stressful life situation. Most stressed people gain weight, which has happened to him. He's a smart player but you can't beat stress if you don't deal with it.
