Surely, having endorsed Hunter's name, it will garner publicity, which again, will lead a route back to the tour diary.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, JoeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-1169223846375122482007-01-19T16:24:00.000+00:002007-01-19T16:24:00.000+00:00It will be on in Kilkenny from March 11-13.

All big names and a welcome development.<BR/><BR/>The German Masters isn't returning as far as I know - but the German Open pro-am has been renamed the Paul Hunter Classic and will be played, as usual, in August.Dave Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08037719321756898982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-1169159107552156432007-01-18T22:25:00.000+00:002007-01-18T22:25:00.000+00:00Dave,Any more news on this new Irish competition t...Dave,<BR/><BR/>Any more news on this new Irish competition taking place in March. Is it the top 16 taking part, or invitational?<BR/><BR/>Sounds very familiar to the Irish Masters which can only be a good thing.<BR/><BR/>And, I also hear the German masters could be on the comeback in the near future. Which would be excellent...<BR/><BR/>Thanks, JoeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-1169158961516984512007-01-18T22:22:00.000+00:002007-01-18T22:22:00.000+00:00Dave,I agree with everything said above.So, if he ...Dave,<BR/><BR/>I agree with everything said above.<BR/><BR/>So, if he has been excused from pre/post media conferences, why was he doing an interview for the BBC on Tuesday. Who pulled the strings for that to take place? Whatever the case, O'Sullivan seemed his usual self with a touch of flu.<BR/><BR/>Also, if he lifts the trophy on Sunday, surely, he will be permitted to give a press conference, rather than snear and stick two fingers up to the press, who could've given him a lot harder a time, than they have in the past.<BR/><BR/>I can't expect, contrary to what it said in the press statement, that the sponsors are really that happy to go along with this.

I don't see why a press conference is so arduous - like football managers the players can trot out the same old lines without revealing their innermost fears and secrets. In any case, if Ronnie is depressed or has other serious off-table worries, getting out of a press conference is not going to fix them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
