This line is trotted out far too often. <br /><br />The reason they got rid of Clive was down to the fact he wasn't a pro like Thorne, Virgo and Taylor et al. <br /><br />It was a great travesty but I really hope Clive is not going to start BBC bashing every month.jamie brannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668254365608375328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-63654576672955766502012-02-04T09:36:38.352+00:002012-02-04T09:36:38.352+00:00Michael Holt being a nob on Twitter again, clearly...Michael Holt being a nob on Twitter again, clearly mis-representing what Pro Snooker Blog said about Maguire. He also reckons his opinion on snooker is more informed than Clive Everton's i.e. someone who has studied and written extensively about the game longer than Holt has been alive...almost as absurd as a porn star claiming they know more about anatomy than a doctor; I say put him in the commentary box and see who calls the right shot.<br /><br />Anyway, we have four players left, and all four have waited for a ranking title longer than their talent would indicate so should be good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-24368083440886048782012-02-03T19:13:22.230+00:002012-02-03T19:13:22.230+00:00it wasnt you colin

Also would mean the 4 rnd 2 winners today would at least get a bit of a breather before starting their quarter final matches. Just seems silly in so many ways the more i think about it, no need for all 4 quarters to be played at once.Witz78noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-22418546412640448342012-02-03T08:12:40.227+00:002012-02-03T08:12:40.227+00:00Morning Dave,
