John Higgins won his third snooker world title on Sunday.

This tournament’s been the hardest one I’ve ever seen so I do believe it’s a tremendous win for the scot. It’s doubled his value as a player in my eyes, and that value was pretty magnificent already. I am really happy for him and his gorgeous family. It was about time for John to get his third trophy.

And I do have to add that I’ve been highly pleased with Stephen Hendry’s 147 as well as with the quality of his game at this tournament. Good job, Mr. Hendry! Many more returns!

And, of course, congratulate Shaun Murphy for getting to the finals. I think it consolidates his reputation as the great player that he is.

Last, but not least, I think Mark Allen’s done an amazing job and I do hope it’s either him, Mark Selby or Ali Carter to win the trophy next time. They’ve been working real hard and I consider the following season to be their time to shine. Good luck, lads!

This is a long run, as I don’t really know if anyone will vote, but hey…

Swail doesn’t make it to round 2

John Higgins managed to come out on top, yesterday, in the match against Joe Swail.

I pretty much enjoyed the match and didn’t find Higgie to be at the peak of his form (although he played quite well at times), as for Joe… He seemed quite in the match and concentrated… With some mistakes which eventually prove to be fatal. From my point of view, they were made when he missed going 2 games ahead (to 5-3), when he missed going to 7-6 (which would’ve went to 8-6 maybe as he won the following game), and when he failed to run out to take the match to 8-8. Final result: Higgins – Swail 9-7

Overall it was a very interesting match. I’m pretty sad Joe didn’t win, as he did play a great game, but I can’t blame Higgie for the win, as he did what had to be done in key moments.

On another note… I’m glad Mark King beat Judd Trump, as I do like the Mark and think he can be great. Heard Judd made some comments on Mark swearing and the referee not taking action. I don’t know what that was all about, as when I’ve seen Mark live, and with no cameras, the single comment he made at the table was when he potted the cue ball, then took it out of the pocket, kissed it and said “I love you”. Which I do believe to be a pretty pacifying action. LOL

Anyhow… Good job, Mark!

He now went to 4-4 with Stephen Lee, in a match that will resume this afternoon, so I do believe he’s in great shape. I hope he succeeds. Go, Mark!

Maplin Uk Championship: Joe Swail beats Liang Wenbo 9-8

Liz Madsen — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 01:41:09 +0000

In the qualifiers.

I’m sooooooooo happy about this. Payback time, young Liang!

Now Joe will meet John Higgins.

Well done, Joe! Good luck on your future matches!

Superstitions and motivation – one last thought

Liz Madsen — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 20:03:06 +0000

I got to thinking today, after reading John Higgins’ aftermatch statement, that he won a tournament after every child and that him and Denise might just have to get back to bedroom if he doesn’t win again soon, lol, of this aspect of the human mind… John might be joking, but the aspect is nevertheless real…

I don’t think someone can say that they’ve never had such ideas… That something might help everything go good… That turning the light on three times before leaving it on might just help you write better… Or things like that… There are thousands.

Just a thought… Worth thinkin’ bout the whole thing though, isn’t it? That you might just have control over some things, with the help of a magic yet oh so real thing? Oh yeah.

Congrats, Higgie!

The blue eyed porcelain lad, aka “the wizzard of Wishaw”‘s done it again! This time in Scotland, his land. And he dedicated the trophy to his newborn baby, Claudia. S-WEET (as usual)!

Well done, gorgeous! Great job!
