Surely there is a Hotel with a large enough conference faciltiy in the US that would aboslutely kill to get this. Even to the point of renting out that facility free of charge, knowing they are likely to have a huge % (if not all) of their rooms occupied for the week. I have even known some...

I know in TAP the rule states 100% of the ball must be BEHIND the head string. I don't know that it's in the rule book, but I think I also remeber hearing in TAP that your opponent needs to tell you before you shoot on this point as well, but I am not completely sure of that.

Eric Very good post. Black-Balled Again good post and probably something a lot of people (including me) had not thought about. Feeding ego's of whatever size is always detrimental to any negotiation. Maybe, just maybe to some extent that is what we are doing here, one of the most difficult...

Mark Excellent post and I think your last two sentences above hit the nail squarely on the head. If both sides have the will to do this, it should be wrapped up in double quick time. The less public comments there are from both parties during this period the easier things should be. The best...

I wholeheartedly agree with this and believe that unless it's resolved this week some form of arbitration maybe the best and only solution. The parties involved are, obviously emotionally involved and more often than not that is one of the major stumbling blocks. A solution that is acceptable to...

Really.......... you need to go back and read my posts, I have refused to take sides in this from the very first post. I want it resolved so that everyone can play and both sides are happy with the outcome. What I have always said is that people should only comment on what they know to be true...

Guys don't be scared of Alison, she is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. I don't have her number but try through her website.

Marietta is a good night out, whatever you play, when you get into GA you could also PM me and I'll try and sort something out for you. I think we may be putting together a new 8 Ball Team for Thursday Night TAP for the next session that starts in October. You are more than welcome to be a...

Can I move yet, I have been in this corner too long, I need to use the bathroom and get some dinner :rolleyes:

You sir are a moron, if there is one thing I can absolutely guarantee it's that neither Johnny or Rodney are in it for themselves as you are trying to portray it. It's people like you who get involved, make outrageous and libelous statements as above that are perpetuating the situation. I have...

OMG...............thats pretty tough, I don't think I could do that, every time I see them on TV I just want slap them and tell them to actually earn their wages for a change :smile:

Jam Your point maybe valid but I get so pissed when people do not read things fully or maybe intentioally leave them out to make one side or the other look bad. That happens to both sides in this ongoing issue and that does nobody any good. If we want our sport to move forward we have to start...

Jay Just to qualify my position. I want the open to go on with everyone playing, I can only speak to what I know to be true. I cannot and will not comment on what I do not know. Thats the point I have been trying to make if only everyone concerned and everyone posting about it got their facts...

What a complete bunch of jerks some of you are. Johnny does not have to be anywhere in particular to do the interview, he could have done it from his current location. However he is currently unwell, is having trouble talking and thought postponing was therbest course of action rather than...

Scott Good post as ever and to the point. However I would say, how many chances do you give someone? That's a question only the Pro's can answer, I am not one of them so refuse to state here my view of that question. But I have also read Barry's latest statement and again I would say he needs...

Way to go Mike, I agree whole heartedly with everything you say above. The thing that gets me is all the people taking sides when they have no clue whats gone on. I myself do not know exactly what has gone on behind the scenes with talks between Barry and the ABP, so I cannot comment on that...

And it's dicks like you the Pool World can do without

There appear to be numerous problems with Pool in the US:- 1. The view that many people outside the game still have of it, even though it's not too much like it was years ago outsiders still have that view. 2. Bad press much of which we do ourselves, things like players not getting paid, some...

Also maybe because of a certain percentage of people on the board who are simply butt holes and give them stick when they do. Whilst everyone has the right to free speech and the right to their own views, if you have little or no knowledge of the subject, shut the fu*k up!!
