    Aye it's been underwhelming as * so far. All the seeds getting pumped in the first round has brought the level right down this year. I've yet to see a match where a player has looked dynamite, Maguire has looked sharp but don't see him ever having the temperament to go all the way.

    Can’t stand that wee weasel Mark Allen, hopefully Higgins can somehow pull 2 frames out the bag here.

    Hoping for the same Higgins gambles far too much sometimes it does pay off but other times it doesn’t happen , he done well pulling it back still hope in the Match.

    That last red was even better than the double, shot of the tournament without a doubt, utterly ridiculous.

    Think on the whole it’s been a pretty poor tournament but that was genuinely one of the best matches I’ve ever watched, topped off by one of the best clearances ever.

    One of the best ever under total pressure breaks I have ever seen by Higgins , involving an unreal double!!

    Unbelievable man. What a last few frames, and another clearance by John for the ages. Amazing.

    That amazing clearance under severe pressure will give something that has been missing from John Higgin’s game for a good while, self belief.

    And a 5th World title is now alive and kicking.

    I don't think people understand what a tough opponent Allen is either. He's world number 3, and could potentially be number 1 if Trump goes out this round and if O'Sullivan fails to win it.
