Very Attacking Snooker | Ronnie O'Sullivan vs John Higgins | 2019 Champion of Champions - QF

Описание: Neal Foulds: "Ronnie has decided to come out and be ultra-aggressive".
O'Sullivan's average shot time was 12 seconds until the third frame (14 seconds the entire match). However, John and Ronnie play offensively and perform beautiful shots, including the best shot of the tournament, quoting Neal: "That pink ball on to that red is one of the best shots I've seen for a very long time" 19:56.

The controversial 2010 Higgins meeting: Information for people who had no opportunity to investigate further:

1. Mazher Mahmood, editor of the newspaper and 'gangster' in the video, was known for living performing similar traps (actors and other sports stars). In October 2016, he was jailed for a year for tampering with evidence involving a singer (a victim of his traps).

2. The original video lasted 11 minutes, but they only showed 4 min.
The video has too many cuts, answers without questions and vice versa. Moreover, they didn't keep the dialogue structure despite being professional journalists who own the raw footage. They could have excluded the moments of fear and intimidation; perhaps they brought up the topic of foreign properties, making us believe that the idea was Higgins' initiative.

3. Ian Mill KC* headed a second independent investigation―the first was led by David Douglas, former detective chief at Scotland Yard.―He had access to all original videos and audio tapes (as Douglas had). He textually concluded: "I have no doubt that the Association was right to conclude that this account by Mr Higgins was a truthful one."
His conclusion on Pat Mooney**: "he committed the most egregious betrayals of trust ".

Audiotapes revealed that Pat Mooney was aware of the 'bribery'. He told Higgins they were wealthy sponsors, and just before the meeting, he asked him to play along if the subject of match-fixing came up.

*Ian Mill KC is considered an authority in sports bribery cases in Formula 1, Football Premier League and Tennis ATP, among others. He headed the recent investigation on the ten Chinese snooker players.

**Pat Mooney, Higgins' manager in the video, was a member of the WPBSA board at that time.

Meeting: Friday, 30 April 2010.
Publishing: Sunday, 2 May 2010, 'coincidentally' during the final at the Crucible.
John Higgins at the time: 34 years old, married, two children, World N°1, reigning world champion, famous and millionaire (£5 million only in prize money―£450,000 in 2009).
