This guy deserves a terrible ban and an accusation for corruption, I am not a fan of Pool/Snooker at all but it doesn't change the gravity of what has just been done.

I'm far from naive, I actually thing Paul said it right when he wrote to the Romans, 'There is none that do good, no not one' and in Genesis '...the thoughts of mens hearts was only evil continually...'.


I'm just not suprised at all. For us it may be a great sport and an institution, but work within it year in and year out and you'll just see it as a business or workplace like any other.

And like in any business, people find ways to skim a bit extra off the top. I'm not justifying it, not al at all, I'm just saying an awful lot of people do it.


He obviously had his reasons, and weighed up the risks, and it backfired on him.

I expect he will lose his MBE/OBE thingy as well.

It's a shame really when no actual harm was done, only in the minds of those who seek to keep the purity of sport untainted.

If he hadn't been exposed nobody would ever have known or cared.
