From Rodney's Facebook page: Alright I'm gonna do an event called the Missconi Cup. Just like the Mosconi Cup but with the five Europeans and the five Americans that miss getting on the Mosconi lol........the teams are Me, Oscar Dominguez, Dennis Hatch, Johnny Archer, and Earl Strickland for...

Probably the most constructive post on this subject since Mark became captain almost two years. This is the path that Mark has tried to follow since he took the job but logistics and lack of money stymied him. The critical part is going in to 2016 with his 2015 team intact

With the advent of new Pseudo Mosconi Cup rip offs how long will it be before players who participate in these bargain basement events start to find their names slipping off the Matchroom rosters. Rodney's is a direct response to players who feel aggrieved at not being selected for the bona...

I rest my case

Just what have we done to deserve you. Looks like we are set for a new high in Trolllism and a new low in Pool IQ. But don't trouble your lame brain thinking about Mark Wilson because he is on target with his plans to sort out the future of the game in the USA. He will still be the captain long...

As I compose this reply to this Devil of a Thread, I noted that we had reached tha appropriate post #666. The thread was closed after Post #408. Now I am curious about the decision maker's (was it Mr Wilson?) thought process which caused him to stop people commenting on the subject matter...

But what is the plural of GENIUS?

Jay What if Barry had come to you discretely and said "I am in an embarrassing position over the fact that I promised an ex champs spot to Allen and I just plain forgot. I feel bad about not being able to keep my word. What can we do? At that very moment one of the amateur players in the draw...

I think that even without reference to any ranking list then Mark's team selection would coincide with the Final Five as published. It is a raging certainty that Sky will be a long term contender in any future US team. He is ready now and even if he was not quite up to the mark, he needs to be...

Aren't you all forgetting who owns the Mosconi Cup. It is Matchroom Sport and they are leagues in front of anyone else in the business as far as marketing and publicising their events. They set the criteria and they manage the Ranking Lists for both team. In doing so they are able to determine...

Does anyone really care who wins. Great players one and all. But it would be better to replace Albin with Jayson Shaw and market them as The European Expats. Then they might have a chance of developing a fan base.

A very poor lowlife contribution to this thread

Hello Jen (and Spartan too) The nickname of Karl Boyes is GWAPO and it is a Tagalog word meaning HANDSOME. Knowing Karl then I would have bet that he had chosen the name himself. I like to think that GWAPO stands for GOT WAYS of ALIENATING and PISSINGOFF OPPONENTS. He is a living legend in...

I'm confused. To lose one thread in a day is human but to lose two is just plain careless. To get one back (and wish that I hadn't bothered) is insanity. To get another one back would be incredible. So where and why is my NO HEROES, NO MORE VILLAINS gone?

Just forget it. IT AINT NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN THIS IS PROBABLY THE MOST BORING SUBJECT THAT KEEPS TURNING UPON THIS SITE

Every year the WPA make concessions to Barry in an effort to keep pool alive in the USA. I the past he has had ranking points granted on condition that he reaches a certain number of entries. These targets were were not met but a higher tariff still applied. They have also accepted lower...

There are two sets of posters here. There are the Naysayers and there are The Blind Leading The Blind. Over the past few weeks each of them has had their Place in the Sun. Now the clouds are beginning to clear for the NSs and they will have the last say in this turbulent matter as more...

Why is a player who forfeited a match allowed to carry on playing in the tournament two days after being scratched from the event?

They don't come any more entertaining than JAM. Even when she gets hold of the wrong end of the stick occasionally, she does it with such gusto that it becomes difficult to stop her sucking you brains out and refilling with her point of view. I don't think that I have ever missed one of her posts.

This is like pulling teeth
