Some of the safety was out of this world. And Dott's clearance in the 31st frame which broke Ebdon's resistance was something I've never seen from any other player.

He's a great player and earned his successes in the game but obviously Dave and the other snooker journos need someone and something interesting to write about to get their work published. Dott should count himself lucky that he came along when you could become a millionaire by getting solid results by playing dull snooker. If he had been around in the 70s he wouldn't have been able to make a living because no-one would pay to watch exhibitions with this guy. He's won his money fairly, but the reason there is money in the game is not down to him. The headlines go to the sport's income generators, which is how it should be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-71730097299519056952012-04-11T16:18:10.128+01:002012-04-11T16:18:10.128+01:00I think he's a wonderful player and just as en...I think he's a wonderful player and just as entertaining as you know who.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-26573227372311371822012-04-11T14:39:58.756+01:002012-04-11T14:39:58.756+01:00It is annoying that Graeme Dott doesn't get th...It is annoying that Graeme Dott doesn't get the credit he deserves for what he has achieved in the game. Is it any wonder he gets the raging hump with the snooker fraternity and some of the media - So unjust. I admire him because of his iron will and determination to succeed.<br />Dave, I think he was justified in criticising Steve Davis because as a mere spectator I was seething at the unprofessional and inappropriate behaviour. I was surprised that Dott didn't raise it with the referee at the time. Perhaps he should have waited for Davis to return to the table each time and then excused himself for a supposed toilet break. The problem would then have to have been dealt with by the ref or it would have descended into a bigger farce than it already was.Raynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-63898387415368329512012-04-11T13:37:52.349+01:002012-04-11T13:37:52.349+01:00wee guy, BIG chops ;)

Like John Higgins, he could be ready to unleash his best stuff.jamie brannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668254365608375328noreply@blogger.com
