A bit of fun doesn't give that and therefore isn't entertaining. It's more like a laugh and a joke and players aren't bothered if they lose so it's not what I want to see. I want to see two guys really trying to beat each others guts out.

Snooker needs everything it can get and if it does upset sponsors then players should listen to this. The problem will come if the WPBSA starts to ban players when they criticise the WPBSA just like the 'Rex William' Era and 'Walker Era'TazManiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10400118522868248699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-41226101510088622242011-07-29T20:46:04.948+01:002011-07-29T20:46:04.948+01:00Off topic but i know you like your golf Dave, more...Off topic but i know you like your golf Dave, more Twitter controversy, <br />http://bit.ly/pA4s89Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-54939561397159962132011-07-29T20:18:51.131+01:002011-07-29T20:18:51.131+01:00This is not Twitter tho 5:55PM LMAO!!!This is not Twitter tho 5:55PM LMAO!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-45422630153551031492011-07-29T17:55:06.927+01:002011-07-29T17:55:06.927+01:00Mike Dunn was banned from making jokes on Twitter ...Mike Dunn was banned from making jokes on Twitter because they were complete sh*t.<br />Am I banned too for saying that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-4653134954050842152011-07-29T17:45:01.342+01:002011-07-29T17:45:01.342+01:00"Snooker players are not intellectuals and ac..."Snooker players are not intellectuals and academics discussing matters of great pith and moment."<br /><br />You're telling me!

Perhaps Jason Ferguson should consider that NOT ONE person who loves to get all sides of the players' personalities are complaining. I suspect that is 99% of the fans. The remaining kings of whining deem it necessary to twist the arms of those that don't act like they want them to or say what they feel is appropriate. <br /><br />This IS a matter of free speech and the sponsors that World Snooker are working with are companies wanting business from me, the fan, and I want as lively a discussion and as much off-table shenanigans as possible. It is all entertainment. <br /><br />Of course if a player is praising Hitler or something to that extreme or openly refusing to shake hands with certain refs, I understand the need to have a discussion with that player. But anything short of that could not possibly hurt business. In fact if we don't allow players to bad mouth each other publicly we are right back to the Walker years. Zzzzz....<br /><br />We have seen ridiculous fines from the FA whenever football players go on Twitter and do utterly harmless jokes, sarcastic photoshopping or the likes.

I’ve been looking at some of “Our old posts” before your cousin or step brother Barry Hearn took over the reigns and saved worlds snooker. <br />Outside of the same six names (Dave’s Diplomats) that have kept your blog afloat I think you have lost or changed direction. <br /><br />Blog sites should have names Dave like the original newspapers and magazines declaring there intentions for good.<br />I think Dave your site now should be called “The Mother Superior” as you are definitely “The Mills and Boon” of snooker writers. <br /><br />I don’t think you are a cheat Dave but you know snooker is dead and needs strong decisions to change before these (Big Names) coaching schools creates a mass exodus to pool.<br /><br />These lads will gain a bit of cueing technique but 9.9 out of ten will turn to pool which of course will suit Cousin Barry as he amalgamates snooker Darts pool with flower arranging.
