He just needs a few more days to help police with their enquiries, if not he'll ask for an extension

I'm sure of it they are scraping the bottom of the barrel with this one.

If he gets banged up he'll need a large pot of Vaseline and a cushion to sit on after.

I would be a'baize'd if he gets out of this with any reputation at all, he is snookered as far as I can see. I think he'd rather be shot out of a canon than face the media. Maybe due a rest and a big break from the game.

I have no idea whether he is telling the truth but what I would say is if he had suspicions about meeting mafioso, why didn't he report it straight to the WPBSA as soon as he was out of the "threatening situation" where he was fearful for his safety. It doesn't add up

On reading this in the papers i bet he saw RED and turned the air BLUE!!
It's not as BLACK & WHITE as the media report it.
With the prospect of Russians stalking you i'd have a YELLOW streak down my back as well as some BROWN in my pants!!
Is he professionally naive or just plain GREEN?
His wife's stopped giving him any PINK now.
Suffice to say after all this nonsense he is properly SNOOKERED!!

Higgins didn't look very concerned that there maybe a canon or even a plant in the pocket to me. Difficult to see from the camera angle though.
