Anyway, loads of meetings between those two in future hopefully.<br /><br />Well done to Gould as well, hope this is the end of his dry patch.

Just on another matter, I live in Glasgow, ...Dave,<br /><br />Just on another matter, I live in Glasgow, play in the same snooker club as Stephen Maguire, Graeme Dott, John Higgins, Alan McManus, and Marcus Campbell. The place is packed out all the time, the game is popular here, and we have some stars.<br /><br />Do you think it is an oversight that there has been no major tournaments here in Scotland since the World Open in September 2010 (and none for the forthcoming season other than a low-profile PTC)? Why is there not even a single date in the Premier League for Scotland? <br /><br />Yes it's good to take the game to Australia, Bahrain, Brazil, etc - but UNDOUBTEDLY the game is more popular in Scotland than in any of those countries. I would say the same about Ireland. Wales has it's Welsh Open every year. <br /><br />Why doesn't Barry Hearn, say, bring the UK Championship to Scotland, or at least rotate it about the UK? Unlike the Masters and WC, it is a tournament without a historic superb venue, and there would be no loss by bringing it north of the border or to Northern Ireland for a trip. <br /><br />Cheers<br />DanielAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-25025220981339098882012-08-13T19:13:12.032+01:002012-08-13T19:13:12.032+01:00Surely any sighting issues that Gould has are rela...Surely any sighting issues that Gould has are related to the fact he looks over his glasses rather than through them.<br />I'm surprised the commentators never seem to pick up on this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-44820745405179394872012-08-13T17:46:03.290+01:002012-08-13T17:46:03.290+01:00I love watching this bloke play.

I know he won the Power Snooker but I could never take it seriously. Power Shite must surely be gone now? No-one was taken in by the increasingly desperate attempts of the presenters last year that it was the "future of snooker". I know we had the option not to watch it, but I don't think it did the image of the game any favours; it reinforced every negative stereotype about snooker, we're better rid of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-25746974357814638302012-08-13T14:05:57.662+01:002012-08-13T14:05:57.662+01:00Shame that there won't be any ranking events a...Shame that there won't be any ranking events at the SWSA after the end of this season.
