  • John calls a foul on himself because he FELT the double contact between cue-tip and cue-ball. No one else knew, only him. He can look at himself in the mirror all day and on the daily. Imo, John Higgins is the most honest player on the tour, bar none. Well done sir!

      If memory serves, those News of the World (trashiest newspaper ever) reporters were masquerading as match fixing Arabs.. trying to trap John into fixing a match. But they were unsuccessful. Because the fact is John never agreed to fix any matches or did he accept any bribes. It was a complete non-story and they sensationalised it. John should have sued them for tarnishing his good name. To this day, a lot of people incorrectly think he's a cheat because of those lying bastards.

      ​@PatrickRyan147 that's BS. I went to The British Open down Cheltenham a few month back and got talking to a few lads that know a top player in Bristol and they and the Snooker tour KNOW Higgins took the bribe. Because he's in with Barry and his face fits, allegations were dropped.. which is why Stephen Lee is bitter (and rightly so) as he got a 12yr suspension for the same thing.

    You can clearly see in the replay that he didn't hit the white ball twice as the cue didn't go forward after initial contact so I'm not sure why he called the foul on himself.

    My personal opinion, if were teaching someone stance and stroke, there is no one that has a better stance/stroke. It is a thing of beauty to anyone who really studies the minutiae of the game. Sure there are other variables involved but John's stroke is absolutely perfect imo..
