Allen is playing SOOOOOOO bad here

I agree on that point lats but what wonders says is correct i think, baz just makes up rules to suit as he goes along. Its the hypocrisy about it that sticks in the craw.
|
|
By:
Yeah, but these loopholes are present right across the sport (and other sports at that - even tennis has wildcards). Look at some of the 'invitations' that were dished out for the Worlds qualies....

I may be mistaken but when jimmy and ken got those cards it was said as a once off thing, there wouldn't be more. I think i remember that anyway. If they just said there'd be a wild card or maybe 2 given out each year that would be fair enough. Its just talking about a level playing field and then making a decision like this cos it suits i find a bit off tbh. You can rubbish the standard way down, and we all do here, but still the fact someone would have earned that card and wont now get it because jimmy has been handed it. Hearns the one who goes on about earning all the time... Rant over

Some of the tennis wild cards are weird, didnt naomi osakas sister get a wc for an event recently and she's way down the rankings? But thats just for a single event, not a whole season or two years.

its a pity the butcher not on 8 frames cos hes in shreddsville right now

I'll be honest, John, I don't remember that bit about when they were handed out initially.
I know what you're saying, but Jimmy's still a draw for the sport (just about), certainly among people of a certain age. 4-0 Zhou |

Allen's had 78 shots and potted 23 balls....

the tons bet is in serious trouble in that match imo
|

By:
plenty of time left

By:
64% pot success for that fat bastard
|
|
By:
wonder if allen got an uber eats for the mid session
|
|
By:
Zhou should have had one.
Only plenty of time left assuming Tubby doesn't jack it in. |

By:
I could be wrong about the once off part, just thought i remembered that but not 100 per cent tbh. Jimmy is a draw of course, so no one gonna kick up a fuss about it. Apart from me that is
 Allen 64% pot success. He's fcked here i think. |

can dotty clear here

the butcher truly is in shreddsville, why couldnt he be on 8
 |
|
By:
is shredsville near bucketville??

next town over!

White and Wattana have twice had wildcards, Doherty just the one. Sure to get another, Barry loves him. Loads of pros who can't afford to compete at the bottom end from around the world. Have to live the year in the UK to compete.
|
|
By:
wee dotty really is the pride of Scotland!
|
|
By:
Does Wattana get another here or is he now left to Q school it out (should he so wish)?
|

By:
9-6

hendry with more amateurish body language assessments

By:
Think james has another year to run on his card and then who knows? Wont be long before you have the likes of ebbo and angles looking for their cards too, where do you draw the line?
|
|
By:
I agree, that's an absolute disgrace of a decision to give J.White another tour card. He is absolutely awful these days, which is why he has been relegated again, and there is no prospect at his age of any improvement.
|
|
By:
You are correct. His expires after next season.

just seen a video where ronnie is saying what a great inspiration for him it was with tiger winning the masters

By:
Yes James Wattana has another year to go. Ebdon said he would retire at the end of the season, back pain.
|
|
By:
I guess you have to have a reason for giving them one. Jimmy's reason is obvious. Wattana's is probably for what he's done to promote the game in Asia. Not sure either Ebbo or Angles have the same pull anywhere.
