At times both succumb to pressure, which makes this encounter more exciting. Audience participation is excellent. Best three frames and snooker highlights.

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 in a case involving a singer (a victim of his traps).

2. The original video lasts 11 minutes, but they only showed 4 min.
IMO, the video has too many cuts, answers with no question and vice versa. They didn't keep the dialogue structure despite being professional journalists who own the raw footage. Eg, they may be excluded all scenes of fear and intimidation; and perhaps they brought up the subject of foreign properties to cover up the money and led us to believe that it was Higgins' initiative.

3. QC Ian Mill* headed a second independent investigation -the first one was led by David Douglas, former detective chief at Scotland Yard - He had access to all the original videos and audio tapes (as Douglas had). He concluded textually: "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 said they were rich sponsors, but just before the meeting, he asked Higgins to play along if the subject of match-fixing came up.

*Queen's Counsel Ian Mill is considered an authority in sport bribery cases in Formula 1, Football Premier League, Tennis ATP, among others.
