I don't understand why everything seems to turn in to an argument here. Europe vs US, Snooker vs Pool etc etc
anyways regarding the post I expect Raj to win as he ll have a stronger break. Ronnies break will be pretty inconsistent however if he gets open tables to run out, anything can happen.
John Morra and Jason Klatt if Alex isnt included. Everyone else (Hjorleifson, Mario, Montal, Wood, Creiver, Martel etc) is a level below.
Morra's been dominating the pool scene in Canada and did well at the worlds with a nice top 32 finish. Haven't seen Klatt do much damage since his good run in...
The fact that a region, country or city is willing to hold the world 9 ball is a win for the game and leads it to the right direction.
I don't see any of those 10 cities wanting to host the world 9 ball so don't see your point. Qatar stepped up and took over this prestigious event while others...
my argument is that just because a few countries in a region are having issues, it should not mean events like the world 9 ball should be taken away from one of the locations in that region. This is why I used my example where a city in turmoil leads to a state being abandoned.
I can really go...
I completely agree that the WORLD 9 BALL not being at least streamed is a huge failure for the organisers and something which I'm sure will be on the top of their agenda come next year. However you cannot hold them responsible for what happened. The organisers were told that a stream would be...
English - I didn't question you regarding the location of Qatar. It was more towards the person said that his cousin felt unsafe leaving his base in Qatar as he thought he might get killed. Hope that clears up the first point you wrote :)
I agree that the Middle East is going through through...
So you're going to base whether a country is safe or not on a article you read about a Norwegian woman? There were over 90000 cases of rape in 2008 in the US from which only 25% led to an arrest. Does that mean the US is an unsafe country?
Yes the laws in the UAE are different from the US and in...
The organisers had nothing to do with the lack of stream. The organisers signed a deal with Al Kass who are one of the largest broadcasters in the Middle East. It was their choice to not show up when they did as they felt the broadcasting the start of the Qatari Football season would reap them...
That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever read in my life. I am pretty sure you don't even have a cousin in Qatar. Do you even know where it is? We're not talking about Iraq or Afghanistan here. Btw saying Qatar is unsafe is like saying California is unsafe because of Compton or New Jersey...
same here! the website says the stream should start at 4pm. None of the matches scores are being updated neither so I'm guessing they're up to something over there. Would love to see the de luna and feijen match
all good. A lot of monster phillipino players working outside the phillipines in the middle east now. rota, gabica, gallego (qatar) oliver mednilla, raymond faraon, joven alba, pul pul (uae) marlon vilamor (saudi)
