Plus, in an event, which is sometimes lacking in star quality, the likes of O'Sullivan, Robertson, Higgins, Williams and Allen would provide some genuine world class sport.jamie brannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668254365608375328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-31936980727702562762010-10-15T12:44:00.367+01:002010-10-15T12:44:00.367+01:00Does it really matter anyway?

Billiar...I thought it was close around that time. <br /><br />Billiards is one of the 31 sports that comprise the Commonwealth Sports Federation, however, it is yet to feature in an actual games.<br /><br />Snooker would need, I guess, need acceptance into the federation, before any possible inclusion, so Glasgow looks unlikely. <br /><br />The games may be staged in Australia in 2018, either there or Sri Lanka, if it's Australia and Neil Robertson is still a leading force when decisions need to made about what sports should make up the portfolio of events, then snooker could have a chance. However, I get the feeling this won't happen.<br /><br />For the record, I don't believe snooker should be included in the olympics.It is for the reason that any sport in the Olympics should be the pinnacle of that person's career, the World Championship will always remain the ultimate prize in snooker. This is why I am aghast at the inclusion of golf for 2016 and the current involement of tennis and even football in the olympic programme.jamie brannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668254365608375328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-74846326797421759382010-10-15T09:26:40.335+01:002010-10-15T09:26:40.335+01:00I'm sure the Jimmycard is probably inevitable....I'm sure the Jimmycard is probably inevitable.<br />Also debuting will be the all-new Nuggetcard.Greg Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00346602906924608907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-57512756059422784172010-10-15T08:30:38.335+01:002010-10-15T08:30:38.335+01:0012-08
