Go to the WS website and see the pictures. It's not fair to single out one player just because he got injured. It could have happened to any one of them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-41803454856228935582008-10-08T18:31:00.000+01:002008-10-08T18:31:00.000+01:00Surely the precedent has to be Mark Williams' inju...Surely the precedent has to be Mark Williams' injury a couple of years ago, ironically during the Grand Prix.<BR/><BR/>It was very similar to Dott's predicament, so if the WPBSA are consistent, then Graeme will get his points for Shanghai.<BR/><BR/>I hope so for his sake - Graeme's had more than enough kicks in the teeth in recent times.<BR/><BR/>With regards to the Grand Prix, even if he doesn't make it to the venue, I still think he should get the points as his injury is a genuine one.<BR/><BR/>I know Mike Hallet on Eurosport was questioning why Dott was playing football, and he has a point, but it's inconceivable that Dott was thinking about the possibilities of being injured.<BR/><BR/>Sam TAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-17205837805080371452008-10-08T14:19:00.000+01:002008-10-08T14:19:00.000+01:00A decision has to be made by WPBSA regarding Dott'...A decision has to be made by WPBSA regarding Dott's type of injury.<BR/>Under the current rules he'll have to turn up and play one shot before conceding the match-or if he is playing Murphy just forget his chalk:)<BR/>It's very sad what has happened to Dott and I hope his luck changes for the better soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-45031248823833530542008-10-08T13:23:00.000+01:002008-10-08T13:23:00.000+01:00Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Quinten Hann g...Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Quinten Hann get his prize money (if not his ranking points) when failing to show up against Gerard Greene a few years back, during the period of his match rigging allegations? And he wasn't ill, he just couldnt be bothered to show up. Dott has a genuine injury and should do as you say - this happens in golf all the time. Players hit their first tee shot and withdraw immediately, but there must be a better way of ensuring Dott gets his just reward.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
