Sort of rooting for Higgins myself, I think because he is the elder of the two. He's got away to a decent start anyway.

Thought it was going to be a little one sided after the way he played against Hawkins but he's come good & Selby's making unforced errors.

I think selby will play better, he generally does find something in the tank. But if he does and he isn't playing great or his best already (as is currently the case) he tends do scrap it out with safety. If he does that Higgins is just as much as a match. So unless selby starts scoring I'm predicting a Higgins win. Otherwise selby will win if he does score as he is slightly better under pressure than Higgins on more recent ranking title successes. If it goes close I fancy selby. If Higgins gets a lead he is a great front runner too, I fancy Higgins.
I remember Ray Reardon. Hows he doing these days Ol' Dracula

Wish bill werbenuik was still around. He'd drink them all under the table, with his 10 pints of lager just to pick a cue up.

Pool was always my game, can't see well enough to make the long pots on a snooker table. Always watched it though, got into it with Pot Black when I was about five.
There was a good film on the other night, 'The Rack Pack' about Steve Davis and Alex Higgins when they were young.
