I would like to add that being a "public figure" adored by fans around the world, of different races & cultures, a Pro like Archer should not have burst out the racial comments, especially after losing the match. (Not even if he had won it) He is in a different light from the opposition, who...

Thanks, Cardinal Syn. That is useful info for me.

"naive"?...because I feel strongly about racist remarks? Apparently, the black guy took offence...and thus..the commotion, and thus, people on the internet mentioning it. Well, you are what you are. To each his own. You dont have to be too upset about my post. Geez!

r u kidding me? (i sort of felt your handle was meant for me..but..i guess not) anyway, my point is : Many great pool players love USA as a great country, nevermind what other reasons...in this case, example used is POOL players. After hearing some players moved there for long durations(some...

Thanks TheOne...(keanu Reeves? or Jet Li?) yep...thats probably the way things are. Although the sports part is News to me...( POOL=SPORTS? in layman terms?)...If POOL was like baseball or Basketball or Tennis, then ..a different story. I really wonder how else they get this done...even to get...

well, Being eaten inside, but not showing it outside, IS a good loser...and there are millions of sportsmen across the globe being just that! There's a difference between a 'professional by profession' and a 'true professional sportsman'.

man..i really hope there is some misunderstanding here..if Archer made some racial remarks, it's really sad and uncalled for... If he felt he was sharked or distracted, or just venting frustration, with a little aggression, that might still be forgivable, but definitely not racism. Archer has...

Hi. This may seem like a silly question to some...but it will definitely help me and a few others now and in the future, if some light is shed on this.This may not totally a pool related topic, but it sure concerns a lot of international pool players I know. Recently, it had been...

I agree with you, Scott. As I felt the same way, thus the thread. Again, the only time when I won't mind is when I'm the one from the one-loss side....(everyone for himself?) well, I guess there is little we can do. If the format were to be changed now, imagine those players from past years...

pardon my ignorance..what are DUI's??? I can only imaging a pool related lawsuit would be for not being paid,etc...?? anyway,back to topic..i still feel its not totally fair..but then we are selfish beings at times..if we were in the loser side's view...it would be "better" for us...we would...

wow! thats interesting....McDonalds should really try to get a better lawyer for themselves! I would like their lawyer to represent the next pool roganisation i sue for 'hurting' my pride and confidence when i lose!

just to try to save you some time... you might be not seeing the "LIVE" match portion..its on the 2nd page of the thumbnails...click next! of course make sure you are logged in already..make sure it says "play" instead of "Play Preview" but the buffering and the pauses is annoying me..you are...

thanks for that clarification. Yep, i suppose thats true...the hotseat gets you there, but the loser's bracket is one long road ahead...when i went over to the US, i manged to experience that, and it was always taking forever..never ending matches to get back to the final match! i guess one of...

1stly, just to clarify. the BCn website match schedule indicates: LIVE Match times for Sunday 9/25: Match #1: 12 Noon - Earl Strickland v Francisco Bustamante Match #2: 2 PM - Alex Pagulayan v Jose Parica Match #3: 4 PM - Winner Match #1 v Winner Match #2 Match #4: 7 PM Championship Match...

It is a Big "HOO-HAA" now..most forums all over asia are discussing this "slow play" now. Basavich had appeared for the 1st time in WPC & the international scene (correct me if i'm wrong) with really bad reviews & impressions, making probably 0 fans! I'm sure he's talented, but to represent the...

Hi.I received quite a few emails & PMs regarding the DVDs. Its only day 2 & already quite a few discs...i have no idea how i'm gonna "copy" all the discs...or even digitise them to put in harddisk... Also, does anyone have some info on "file sharing"(eg.DC++)...is this a "Breach of Copyright...

Hi,just wanted to highlight something I didnt realise till NOW! I am one of the lucky ones who get "Live" WPC whole day. Now getting ready to sleep, I turned on the ESPN and what I thought was a replay of the shown matches earlier..THEY ARE NOT! They are now showing "Delayed telecast" other...

Arrogant kids(or adults) who just cant accept defeat!-a 16year old sharp shooter challenged me endlessly..after losing about 7 straight sets and unable to pay, he spread word around that he didnt pay me on purpose so that i will be back the next day to play again!...as he let me win on...

True, and plus the fact that most don't speak English well, if any at all...it is really a discouragement if you can't converse well with Americans or while in US. Of course some players learn English while on the road, but that's still rare. Imagine top ten Taiwanese players go on the road...
