Thread: John Higgins in bribe scandal!

MILLIONAIRE World Snooker champion John Higgins is captured here on camera shaking hands on a disgraceful deal to fix a string of high-profile matches after demanding a £300,000 kickback.

You just beat me to it Ryan mate. Cannot fuckin believe this shit! Never in a million years did i expect this sort of stuff from John, aye he likes a game of Poker but for fuck sake his head must be up his arse trying to pull shit like this. Absolutely unbelievable so it is.

That's him finished am afraid, there's no way back for him now as far as snookers concerned. What a fucking sad way to end a wonderful career.

The Maguire and Burnett thing i knew was dodgy right from the start, i actually laughed when i heard it coz the two of them are off their nuts. But John i never ever expected to see in this sort of situation man, one of the soundest blokes i've ever met. It doesn't even suit him talking like what he does in that vid.

Aye man that's what i mean when i say he's finished. His career is now over and he's lost all credibility. Fucking shambles man.

What a cunt, tim or not. Poor show.

Is he in the final? if not then there's no reason why it shouldn't

Aye i don't think they'd pull the plug on the final, but there will be a strange atmosphere in the crucible for certain

Tournament mind be cancelled. This is quite fucking serious. Snooker takes this shit very seriously, more so than some other sports you could say.

Very sad way to end a fantastic career.
He just can't be allowed to play on now after watching the video.

Nah mate you're right. He's finished.

Wonder why they chose John to set up? There are others out there who i would consider far more likely to do this sort of thing, big names aswell. I just can't get my head round it man it's fuckin surreal.

That's what I was wondering mate.
